AN OVERNIGHT IN ST.MAARTEN

June 1st, 2008

Well, as usual, SXM was a great overnight. I just never get tired of that place. It's just so relaxing, and FRIENDLY there. Maria now knows why it's one of my favorite overnights with Continental. As high season winds down though, the airplane photo opportunities start to dwindle. Oh well, I'll just have to come up with something else to take photos of. My favorite airplane photo spot is slowly disappearing too. They are putting up some high rise condos behind the area that I take most of my shots from. Does that make sense? At any rate, instead of beautiful blue water behind the planes landing, you'll see a nice condo building. RATS!!!! Oh well, at least I got some nice shots before that happened. Had a little luck at the Maho Casino last night. Lost $60 before I decided to put my last $5 of the night in a quarter machine. Maria has fun playing up to a point........and that point was quickly approaching with my losses mounting up. So we decided to play 7 quarters at a time. On the second spin, we hit a bonus round which turned into a bigger bonus, and ended up with the nicest prize.......and that was worth $292 to us. So, we ended up almost $230 for the night. So...........nice overnight, nice winnings, nice weather, and happy girlfriend. What more could you ask for? By the way, if you go on vacation there, stay at the Maho Resort,( http://www.mahobeach.com/ ) and be sure to tell Claire I said hello. She'll take great care of you!! Now, should I make an offer on that waterfront condo in Hollywood???????
