    My wife surprised me with a trip to St. Maarten. We are going down March 15th for a week with my best friend & his wife. I have not been there in MANY years and just wondered what to see & do. We are staying on the French side in a small resort. I will not have my boat there & I wonder if I'll be able to hang out on a beach for a week. I might go out of my mind.
    Anyway, what do you suggest for nightlife, restaurants etc..

    ps......If you have a boat down there, I'll go clean it for you at no charge, just make sure to leave it full of fuel;)
    Thanks! David

    Hi Dave,

    Generally, I'd agree with you. I'd go out of my mind hanging out on a beach, but lately... vegging in a beach chair sounds pretty good. One of our members (PSDO) visits St. Maarten every year and brings back lots of pictures for us... including a few he can't post. ;) Drop him a PM. I'm sure he'll have some good suggestions to keep you from loosing your mind.

    Wish I could join you. :(

    If time permits, I would definitely recommend a day trip to St. Barth's. You can take a ferry, but you won't ever forget the landing there. Have lunch at one of the beach resorts (Nikki Beach Resort is a memorable one).
    A Day trip to Saba is also very nice (excellent diving)
    Best bet for food is Grand Case in the northwest.
    Have a great trip!
