A Vacation From Traveling - Sint Maarten

Today we are officially halfway through our stay in sunny Sint Maarten, where time passes slowly and the cooling breeze is a constant companion. This morning we reflected upon our Caribbean experience to determine whether we should do something different with our remaining 10 days.

We are staying in a quaint pool house with all of the amenities of home and a sweeping view of tranquil Oyster Bay. So far we've visited both the Dutch and French areas of the island, kayaked, had beach and pool time, enjoyed sunsets on the dock, prepared nice dinners and ate at great little open-air restaurants.

We concluded that the slower pace of "island time" has a calming effect, so we won't try to squeeze in a lot of additional activities or trips to other islands. Sint Maarten has provided an ideal location for a welcomed vacation from traveling.
