Favorite thing: Inside the strike up the band lounge we watched one of the shows here awful more than one person talked about the chubby girl dancers they had. One of the young men couldn't even start to left his partner off the groundand most only lifted them a foot off the floor just awful it was like waiting for one of the young men to fall with those chubby girls. We didn't go to any of the other shows one was a wizard and and showed in the photo a little devil like creature on his shoulder and then another night was a fortune teller? Awful shows then the last evening from the end we watch a Barbara Strisand and Frank Sinatra dou that was very good but they told off jokes that was not too well liked by the catholic/jews/christians.

Favorite thing: If you want pristine white beaches and outstanding snorkeling or diving opportunities, check out Sint Maarten/St. Martin. Orient Beach on the French side is the nicest beach.
Fondest memory: Watching the Italian women walk by on Orient Beach.

Favorite thing: The beach and water at Orient Bay are wonderful! The sand is white and soft, and the water so clear that you can see your toes!
Fondest memory: One afternoon, I saw a group of people standing in the ocean, looking down. I waded out, and saw they were feeding bread to the fish. One person handed me a slice, and I dropped crumbs into the water. I was immediately surrounded by many brightly colored fish.

Check out Orient Beach on the French side! It is like walking on flour. Watch out for the nasty old nude English guys, though...ha ha.
