The clock keeps moving forward towards our trip!!

Ok we have 28 weeks from today….man, that sounds like a long way off….we will be in ST Maarten!

Looks as if we have two couples going with us.

The couples differ in interests but will I am sure get along just fine. Besides, this trip is not an all join hands and do everything together type of trip. As a matter of fact my thought on this is there will be probably 2 or 3 times when we will all be together. First will be a day trip to Anguilla unless one of the couples just doesn’t want to go and the second will be watching a sunset from the fort above the French town of Marigot.

We may all go to the same beach the same day and have a few adventures together but I just don’t see this being a lock step vacation. One couple eats gourmet…and are they in luck!! The other golf and wants to Scuba. Honestly I feel real good about this trip and think that we will have lots of fun and I will get a lot of things done that I want to do!

Rob’s list of things to do is pretty simple.

Each morning I will be on a different beach either as the sun comes up or not too long after taking plenty of landscape pictures. Every day from about 9:30 to 4 I will do what my wife wants ….as in she picks the beach and we RELAX. After 4 till the sun goes down I will again be shooting lots of pix of the island. Then dinner and drinks and repeat only difference being it is another day.

I am going to the island for two purposes, one is to relax and the other is to get some specific photos so I can put some creativity to work and put together a special photography project that may be marketable.

Have been watching flights and the prices are good right now but will hold out till a bit later in the summer to purchase our flights. We are going to try to fly with either one or both couples, something we have never done but which would add to the general excitement for at least the arrival leg of our journey.
