I'll be going to St Maarten for a week, then Abacos, Bahamas for a week in December. While in St Maarten, I'll take all-day snorkel trips to Anguilla and St Barts.
Has anyone been to either place? Are there places I just have to see, things I really oughta do? Feel free to include abovewater stuff (restaurants, beaches, shops) as well as 'facedown' stuff (snorkeling). I'll be with family in St Maarten, but solo on Abacos, so if there are areas I should avoid there, please let me know.

Thanks,
Cindy

PS- Parrothead trivia: Jimmy Buffett wrote Cheeseburger in Paradise in St Barts, but the burger itself was consumed in Tortola.

Well shoot. I'll go with you to abacos! Lol...:D
I WISH I could have transferred the plane ticket for 'he who shall remain nameless' to someone else. I took a $1400 hit to the wallet because it was nonrefundable/nontransferable.

You can call me anything you want if I can go to the bahamas with you. :)

Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Too bad you would need a passport, I could get a fake DL with his name on it stupid quick!!! Of course since 9-11 they don't just glance at them anymore :(

HAHA!! Yeah, they definitely take a close look at documentation these days. Hell, they take practically naked xrays of you at the airport!

Practically? They do! Don't even get $2 like a proper stripper either...

HAHA!! Yeah I always thought we should get paid royalties on those pics. I'm sure there's a book in their back room filled with them.
