The Dangers of Karaoke
This is a top pick! We walked back and forth from our ship - close to a mile each way - to the town of Philipsburg a couple of times while at dock. Once to look at the expensive duty-free shops, and once to swim. The touts here are quite friendly and don't hassle cruisers ...

iRep SKN and the beginning of the long way home
Today was my last day at work. It was a crazy hectic day as I tried to get all of my projects into a good position to be taken over by whoever comes next. In the middle, they had a little send-off party for me. It was possibly the ...

How can two countries share an island?
Half Dutch and half French, this island is worth a visit! The jerk chicken (and probably the ribs, although we didn´t try that) was one of the most delicious things I´ve ever eaten. It was not like the typical rub but more like juicy, spicy goodness. ...
Bonjour or Goeiemorgen!!
... a Westin Kids Club pouch filled with a nightlight, a rubber ducky, and outlet plugs for baby proofing the room. St. Maarten/St. Martin labels itself as the “Friendly Island”, and our experience with the staff at the hotel lives up to its name. ...
Le Galion Beach
Most of our days were spent visiting the French side of the island. We spent a long and lazy afternoon at Le Galion Beach so our little one could play in some shallow water. It’s a perfect beach for families with small kids or infants ...
