48 Hours...

In less than 48 hours we will be back home having bid farewell to the friendly island of St. Maarten. Packing is pretty much complete, I delivered 2 boxes to the cargo company this morning and all 112 lbs of our crap should be arriving in Philadelphia sometime next week. In addition to shipping 2 large boxes of stuff back, we will be paying even more money to US Air because we will be checking 2 additional suitcases. If you are keeping track we will be bringing the following on to the plane:

6 suitcases
2 cat carriers (filled with 2 happy cats)
1 baby stroller
1 baby car seat
1 diaper bag

We decided to hit the beach tomorrow, so today we went to Phillipsburg to walk along St. Maarten's version of a boardwalk. Several cruise ships were in town:



This is perhaps the best named bar in the world:
(you'll have to forgive them for using your instead of you're)



Rileigh enjoying the sun:



We stopped at a restaurant named The Green House for lunch, I got a burger, Kathy got a wrap and Rileigh had the fish-it looked good but was a bit tough: (click on the pictures to better see her meal)





Perhaps the weirdest experience was sitting at the restaurant, enjoying a warm Caribbean afternoon, taking in this view and listening to Christmas carols playing on the restaurant's speakers. Very surreal!
