TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Your Favorite Photo

All of the photos so far are really nice. Thanks for taking the time to submit them.
If I had to pick one, astropilot's "sunrise" is my favorite. I love the unique colors of sunrise/sunset

I've thought many times that I would NEVER get tired of looking at sunsets - this one while on SXM.

Hey, maybe one day your MOM will post a photo!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

She just figured out Instagram and Facebook!! I'll let YOU walk her through this!!!!

Nah, I think this needs a 'hands on' approach! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Let's keep it going!......

All those damn nights I worked Bingo with kids in Catholic Schools.
They have it wired in SXM and that is why it is my favorite.





I love this pic.. and the view coming out of church looking at the bay is priceless too

Ah, I like this one the best! That moment of arrival!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

My favourite too Kim. Why are everybody on St Barts so gorgeous?

I could not agree more. Here is the CG Cutter Eagle departing P'burg. That boardwalk offers great views.

Wow, what a great pic! I remember last year (or the year before??) seeing the Eagle come in while we were on island. We didn't get nearly that close, so my pictures weren't nearly as good, but it is a nice memory..

and if my memory is good? Tom wasn't your son on the Eagle? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/toast.gif" alt="" />

You are correct Beerman!

My son was stationed on the Eagle and was on the boat when I snapped the picture as it pulled out of SXM headed to Aruba in May of 2013.

He is now married stationed in Yorktown and is a father. His son, Thomas was the star of the blog I did back in May, Thomas Takes a Vacation.

OK, yes, I also remembered your son was on the Eagle, and I guess that is correct, it was two years ago, not last year.

I posted this one before but it's one of my favs.
I always spend a day or more at PJA whenever we go back to St. Martin.
Looking forward to Feb. 2016.

Great shot! I seem to take a million shots of KLM when we are on SXM, and that's a very good one, for sure!

Great photo, been on the eagle several times here in Ct and all around New England, she is quite a ship for the newbies to learn seamanship. BTW Tom, checked out your excellent blog, are you a professional writer - if not you should be LOL. Your grandson is certainly surrounded by a very cool extended family. Congratulations.

Now I have to figure out how to make it smaller! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

10 years ago. Wish I had better pictures of the old airport. I liked that place.

Gotta say, I miss Cafe Juliana and whatever the name was of the little bar where you could go OUTSIDE for a final bit of sun and a liquid libation, before heading back to the cold north. Otherwise, I miss it not at all.

I miss the old upstairs bar/restaurant in the old airport.

The old place just felt so familiar and unlike the experiences I get from flying around the USA and the world.

...which was Cafe Juliana...

I have no idea what the name of the place outside was. Anyone know??

I think he's talking about the same one before they closed the sun deck and allowed you outside, basically on the roof

Not sure where HE is talking about. I am talking about the one on the first floor, where you would go outside after you were through security. I think they had food, but can't remember what. I know they had drinks. I remember many times going out there for a last shot of sunshine before getting on the plane..

I was referring to the one up stairs in the old airport back in the late nineties.

Cafe Juliana.

I think that was just cold drinks - but could be wrong, more just like a little bar set up, but I do remember what your talking about

Yeah, perhaps it was just a bar. I was thinking maybe there was a place to get hot dogs or something right there, and you could carry them outside?

That's the place.

Hard to overstate how much I like this place

Leandra and Zelman!

This pic seems to pretty well depict the island attitude and a perfect representation of sand gravity. I can't say I disagree. As this isn't my pic, I'm using the link.

Nope not a writer - Grammar and spelling totally escape me. The invention of the computer has helped, but I still get lost in the world of semi-colons and diagramming sentences.

my style is more like e e cummings - no caps or punctuation they are only there to allow people to know when it is time to breathe and somehow i figured that out with or without a comma or period a long time ago i think that is why I like to take pictures <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Honestly, I am dyslexic and ambidextrous� so I do things backwards and it makes sense to me or I just compensate for it. In fact, I love driving on the left side of the road in an American Car in the Virgin Islands. The turns and traffic loops just make more sense. It can be very ungood when I come home.

BTW � today is USCG 225th Birthday. Give a Coastie a hug or hand shake. Semper Paratus!
