St. Maarten - Airport by the Beach

So before the honeymoon... we heard that there was this beach right by the airport in St. Maarten that "we just HAD to check out". We aren't "airplane watchers" or enthusiasts by any means, but this was plane watcher paradise. The planes land RIGHT over the beach... it seems like 20-30 feet above people's heads. Some of the planes also take off right there, and the jets are so strong they blow people on the beach into the water!


We took a short video of a plane coming in so you can really see how crazy it was!

The Honeymoon

We just got back from the Honeymoon and I thought I'd share a few photos. We had a fantastic time in St. Maarten! It is such a small island and since July is the low season there, it really wasn't crowded anywhere at all. It was scorching hot some days, but the ocean was cool and so were the drinks... so we were quite content. =)







Matt was pretty stoked about our tiny rental car. It was pretty fun driving it around the island though checking out the various small town... and it was super easy to park!




I loved this sun-dress I got for the honeymoon, so I made Matt take a picture of me in it once I finally got to wear it. =)

We went on a sailboat one day to a few different islands, and at one island there were mineral mudbaths... so this is us covered in mud.
