After my wife and I had taken a dozen trips to St Martin, we decided to share our love of the island with our entire family. So, we cashed in a zillion points to buy eleven plane tix, rented a large villa, rented 4 SUVs from Unity, and took our two sons, their awesome wives, our three extra-awesome grandkids, my mom and her husband to St Martin for 8 nights, the week of Thanksgiving. At a family dinner last week, our younger son's wife presented each of us with a photo book and a copy of a DVD that she had put together to commemorate our vacation together. As they say in the commercial, some things are priceless. This is one of them:

It is Villa Belle Vue:

Located in Hope Hill Estates, overlooking Orient.
We have stayed there twice, and have future trips booked
there for April and November of this year.
A tour of the villa can be found here:
