OK guys chill, ok?? Hopefully the original poster will come back and explain a bit more. But I do get that someone might be concerned that everyone will be 20-30 years older than they are..

I think that every comment preceding the OP posting should be removed.
Should it not be "following" instead of "preceding"?
Be Happy! Simply because you deserve to be. 😁

We’re a 45 year old couple w teens but looks like most of the posters here are 55 plus and have been coming for decades. So admittedly, we appear to be in a different stage of life than most here.
Any other people in our stage of life? We usually aim to come presidents week. Well we are 53 and 54 and both coming since we were teens and our kids are now 22 and 29. Have come all seasons with them and many trips without them!! The 21 year old May have jumped onto our New Years trip - but coming around 1/3 with buddies. Do you have specific questions?? Also - feels good not being the “youngin” on here hahaha

Your not young to have joined this group, just younger than many now, in age. Now you have to live up to your youth like we all do, good luck with that!
32 days until on island to live like we are in our.......ok.........40's!
I prefer the Isle seat

I bring a 29 year old with me each visit so as to keep our collective average age lower. Maybe I can answer some of your questions.

This forum is still one of the best forms of information all things St.Martin!! It's how we learned about the island before we booked our first flight!! That was close to 20 years ago!! There is no age bracket here!!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

Such a shame, the noobie is one and done. I was hoping the young blood would jazz things up a bit.

I’m not sure what your point is or why ones stage of life is relevant. Could you explain better the purpose of your inquiry? No need for the Long Island 'tude. Weird post. What information do you need? I’m 63 and live life like I am 35 so what’s up dude. Seriously, must have struck a nerve with you guys. Maybe I should have just posted ,"WHERE ARE ALL THE 40s PEOPLE AT? in similar fashion to Cleavon Little in Blazin Saddles "WHERE ARE ALL THE WHITE PEOPLE AT?!" Would that have been more sufficient? LOL And for the record, Im an old soul.... OK guys chill, ok?? Hopefully the original poster will come back and explain a bit more. But I do get that someone might be concerned that everyone will be 20-30 years older than they are.. I've observed that being among the younger posters here, our input and output is different than most of you a decade or 2 older. But I guess it must have hit a nerve. I like checkin on this forum as opposed to Facebook only b/c there is anonymity here and I don't like throwing my personal info on FB. I think that every comment preceding the OP posting should be removed. Welcoming much? Not! This person has been with TTOL since 2015. Perhaps they visit other places or sail. Y'all old foggies are certainly proving the point....lol Seriously....yep, we ski, hike, swim. Life is short so we do it all! Such a shame, the noobie is one and done. I was hoping the young blood would jazz things up a bit. Really? Just having a busy week and don't read the forum hourly or daily. Sorry that some of you took it the wrong way (I re-read the post and can't see an offense) . If anything, some of the sophomoric responses do show your youth! ![smile smile](/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif) I enjoy reading this forum and prefer it over FB. We love SXM and what blew our minds last trip was that another in their 70s started talking to us then noted, yes, there remember us and basically had watch our kids grow up....They were real regulars coming for years. Love that about the island.

Methinks it’s time for some of us to chill, Peeps.
Sint Maarten/St. Martin has something for every age and every lifestyle not to mention for every pocketbook. Let’s just share and be happy we can all agree it is a wonderful place to enjoy for most everyone who chooses to go there.
And now, let’s sing KumBayYa……😊😊

Mullet often has some surf to enjoy, excellent beach. 12 Metre Regatta https://www.12metre.com/ is a great activity that would be fun for the kids and parents. Watching the jets come it is always a fan favorite, and the zip lines while I have not done them look entertaining. Snorkeling, several decent places. Personally, more beach, less planned activities.
I prefer the Isle seat

6 days presidents week. After some skiing, should be sweet!
We did 12 days of rv camping in Colorado Utah and Arizona last year since Israel didn’t pan out a Covid. Canada the year before.
A day in French side and. Day in Pburg. Otherwise chillax but want to have ideas. I have to check out that regatta! And they love climbing so the cliffs sound intriguing. Thanks. Ah we’ve never done snorkeling, Are there good reefs there? Our first dive trip was in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef but it would be the kids first time snorkeling at a reef
