bonjour!

For me, travel (and planning it) is so restorative.  It might be just the ticket (make mine a window seat please!) to help me after a traumatic year.

So....Sal and I are gonna do a little island hopping in late spring ..... I've booked a trip to 3 magnifique islands in the French Caribbean/Leeward Islands.... St. Martin/Sint Maarten, Anguilla, St. Barth's.  Oui !!
 
Apparently St. Martin & St. Barth's are like being in France, French villages.... with the stunning backdrop of the Caribbean Sea--- très bien!  And Sal has been learning French (languages are his hobby!); he'll get lots of practice there! 

For years, I've wanted to stand on one particularly incredible stretch of sand in St. Martin--- Maho Beach, near the airport.  Here's why:

Just. Too. Cool.  I love 'planespotting', and this is one of the most ULTIMATE places to do it in the world !!

I hope Buddy & Aruba are happy for Mommy & Sal....
