St. Maarten/St. Martin
Whatever you call it. Same island. Southern half is Dutch. They spend guilders. Northern half is French. They spend Euros. At any rate the Bride and I will be hanging on the French half next week with Jack Straw and his significant other, the mysterious Shell Girl, because he is the fucking Man.
And don't knock the French. They have better wine, and all the beaches are clothing optional. I might even indulge you with a pic of Velociman, strolling naked, pensive, down the beach. Kind of Jean-Paul Sartre without the screwhead socialist insane baggage, and a far sexier body. Different baggage with me. Hotter baggage. You get the picture. Of course the downside is I will look like Nixon at San Clemente.
The other downside? I'm told the place is dial-up. I'm told the entire island is dial-up. Well, there you go. I was going to ditch you Impatiens anyhoo. Just hadn't told you yet.
I'll be back. Tanned, and ready for bear. Whatever the fuck that means.
SFP 30 on those optional parts

Posted by: Eric at July 22, 2006 9:09 AMCupecoy, Orient Bay, Le Privelege, Ghana Bay, Plom Bay... best beaches on the French Side. Oh yeah, and don't forget Frier Bay, also on the French Side. St. Martin was paradise 25 years ago... it's just a shame what they've turned it into... Those were the days when the Rhino Pen would sail in for resupply...

While you're there, take the short boat ride over to Anguilla and have lunch at Gwen's Reggae Grill on Shoal Bay. The food is damn good and it's the nicest beach I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot. Tell her Two-Skip and Tripod sent you.
Cool Runnings!
