Dominica & Grenada

Ok, so I should probably finish updating info on our vacation a few months ago before my husband bugs me about it again.....

In Dominica we hired a tour guide to take us on a hike. It was ridiculously intense. The mountain was more of a stair climber. Our calves weren't quite the same for at least a week.

A dip in the hot springs which was supposed to make our muscles strong

Next we were off to Grenada......

SInce Peter has been to Grenada before we decided to sign up for an excursion through or cruise ship. We did a distillery tour of two different rum distilleries & then visited a pretty gorgeous beach.

St. Maarten

Our first stop was St. Maarten. It started out overcast, but turned into a beautiful day to spend at some pretty sweet beaches. Since it was Sunday most of the shops & stuff were closed on the French side, so we stayed on the Dutch side. We visited Mullet Bay Beach & then Maho Beach
to do some plane watching. The airport is right next to the beach which made for some excellent photo opportunities.

Watch Out!


Yes, it was really that close!


Here's a video of a plane landing at the St. Maarten airport! So cool!
