A day of air-plane watching: St. Maarten wowed

Don’t you just hate long airport layovers? One flight lands at 8:30am and the next flight takes off at 5:30pm??? Boooo! Well usually. But this was the best layover I have ever had. All airports should be beside beaches! We landed, we had yummy coffee, quiches and fruit for breakfast in Princess Julianna airport in St. Maarten and I started to chant “beach, beach, beach!” There was another family at a table playing cards (on of my favourite past-times) and a lady came around and handed us flyers with some very inviting massage and spa services but I spotted the beach when landing and it was looking good! We were all tired from a long night before and the thought of laying out was very appealing.

Every time I tell someone munchkin’s birthday was coming up, everyone assumed she was going to be three. She was always a little tall for her age, but pair that with the chattiness, the energy and the general feisty behaviour and this child will wear you out!

I just read her birth story  again that I posted last year on her first birthday. My I can’t believe how time flies and how much changes in the course of just one year. Take a look at this video, it was recorded a couple weeks before her first birthday, when she was on the verge of fully walking:

What do you do when your almost 2 year old munchkin wakes from a nap at 6:45pm? You take her out dancing of course! My new friend here in the BVI suggested we come on by a beach bar where they “serve excellent barbecue” and where her boyfriend plays in a band. After being in the house all day, I suggested this to hubby and he obliged so we headed on out after dinner. The barbecue did indeed smell excellent and we have to go back one day when we’re famished but my apple and bacon topped baked chicken was still hitting its dougie in our tummies so we passed on the BBQ and ordered up some drinks.

The Baths at Virgin Gorda, BVI

Posted by IrieDiva on Dec 27, 2011 in BVI, Family | 2 comments

Hey guys! I’m in the British Virgin Islands and slowly doing all the touristy things. I was looking forward to visiting the Baths since my twitter pal commented on it when I mentioned coming here. Quite a few of my friends know very little about the BVI so I’ll drop in a little map here for y’all.

So, all of them lil islands comprise the BVI and we’re in Road Town, Tortola. Lots to explore! We’ll get to it all. For our trip to the Baths, we ferried over to Virgin Gorda and started with a tour around the island.
