2016 St. Maarten/St. Martin

October 13-25, 2016

For a second Honeymoon, after our 50th Anniversary, we returned to St. Maarten/St. Martin where we went on our first Honeymoon. The island has changed significantly over the years with the population increasing from about 10,000 to some 72,000 and the number of tourist visitors has probably increased 100-fold as the current cruising industry did not exist then.  The island is dramatically more developed now. 

 

 

 

  We first stayed for a few days on the Dutch side (St. Maarten) and then for a week on the French side (St. Martin).  You can access some pictures of our trip by clicking on the links below.
