St. Maarten is divided into the Dutch side {St. Maarten} and the French side {St. Martin}. We docked on the Dutch side and Gregg was so excited to get off the ship and speak Dutch...but no one speaks Dutch on the island. Bummer.
My mom and I got to go parasailing tandem on St. Maarten. It was a little sketchy! Earlier in the day my family had gone 4-wheeling so they hired the 4-wheeler guide to take me and my mom to Bikini Beach where we were scheduled to parasail {Gregg and Truman came with us}. We sat on the back of the boat {pictured above} when the boat took off we slowly went up into the air.
We were sitting on a wide piece of webbing and then carabinered to a bar {that was duck taped together} that was attached to the parachute. We could have easily fallen off {or jumped} into the ocean! It was so much fun - and the best part was that we could see sea turtles in the ocean from way up there! Again, I took some photos on a water camera so hopefully they turned out.
This beach had the most white sand and the most blue water.
Enjoying an authentic pina colada!
Truman liked it!
{ladies, he is single and moving to San Francisco for a job!}
I feel a family Christmas card photo coming on!
Every night Truman would start off with a goblet of fresh fruit. He loved it.
A night out on the ship.
