St. Martin, French West Indies Trip - November 2004

St. Martin was chosen as a vacation spot this year. What a wonderful trip it turned out to be!!!

Geographics and History
The island is divided by two world powers: the Dutch and French. The line between the two is quite blurred. The only indication that you are on either side is by a road sign. Euros, and US dollars are widely accepted anywhere on the island. With only one main road, one cannot get lost on this 36 square mile piece of paradise.

[The Views]

Anywhere you drive on the island, you can see this!! View from the Jeep we rented.

Things to Do
Plenty!!! One can choose to just plain and simply lay on the beach. With many beaches to choose from, one can have a clothing optional relaxation moment as well. I chose to parasail and get a great view of the island. What I did not get to do is ride a horse on a trail that ends on the beach and into the water. That would have been fun.

Things to Eat / Where to Eat
Lobster is a tourist's common favorite. Especially mine!!! I cannot complain about the Mahi Mahi as well!!! It was delicious. With plenty of fresh seafood to choose from, St. Martin is definitely the spot for that!!! I recommend a quite restaurant called La Locanda. tel: 05 90 27 58 25 - The food was perfect and the service was even better than that!!!

[La Locanda]

La Locanda restaurant. Many such small cafe places. These are the places that just produce the best foods!!!

Choosing Where to Stay
Le Meridian was my choice. Being the only 4 star hotel on the island, it offered the most!! It has a private beach and plenty of other needed amenities. There are plenty of other places to stay but the views cannot even begin to compare. The Anse Marcel is an area that requires quite a heart since the roads are tight and a good driver is definitely needed!!!
