J&K-Take-St. Martin? No...That will never work!

Beach  near the Airport

Like any good American Jew during the holiday season, my family would escape the coldness of the East Coast and go to somewhere nice away from the Christmas Carols and the 3 feet of snow. For 10 years straight, we went to St. Martin.  There we got to experience some Caribbean Sandy Claws Santa Clause and soak in the clear waters. In the morning we will go to the French sides to Le St. Germain for their world famous crêpes!  In the afternoon we would go back home and stay on the beach or lounge around on the patio (similar to the next photo).

Some of you already know, but lets just say, Today I'm announcing that Kari and I are going to St Martin with my parents! We will continue our travel blog under a new name (Anyone want to help with some ideas?). So the URL will change. I'll keep you guys updated so you can fix your RSS-feeds or whatever after we come up with our new name.

Pretty crepe I can only imagine
is from Le St. Germain

I'm not sure if the island has free wifi yet but if it does, we will have little to no excuse to not supply you with updates every other day.  This is the first year I've been back since 2003 (I think).

This is kinda like the opposite of our last over the seas trip.  This time, I'm the one who is so excited to share this experience with Kari. 

Got a few things to take care of before we go; bathing suit shoping, oh ya...thats right, and work. :/

We are staying near Cole Bay, which is the
a fantastic view on the island for a
sunset (if thats your thing)

Marigot: Best shopping of French Side.  Mainly for clothes and random gifts!

Philipsburg: Most of the Cruise ships go into here, offers some crazy deals. Tourist trap, yadda yadda.

Orient Beach: Nude City  

Ilet Pinel: Small Island with a huge sand bar.  Fantastic Snorkeling.  It has a 5 min walk from the dock along a cape to my favorite spot on Earth!  

You'll hear from us soon!  For now, look at more of these photos I yoinked from the the internet.

This is where I got my PADI certification.  Fantastic dives!
Waters always above 70.  Whats there not to like?

Last time we did this, my mom fell off the horse as
it was getting out of the water! I'm still LOLing.

Note: New blogger previewer adds a crap load of tags.  I'm too lazy to clean it up so sorry for the awkward paragraph layouts. on the plus side, they finally added image captions, so now we can explain things a tad better.
