St. Maarten ~ Day 3 & 4

Since we exchanged our timeshare to go to St. Maarten we opted to sit through a 90 minute sales pitch to get us to buy a timeshare in St. Maarten. We knew we weren't going to buy another time share but it came with free lunch (and drinks) and we got 1/2 off the Beach Party (more on that later).  While it was very enticing to buy, we kindly declined and went about our day.

We hung out at the beach and the pool and had a really nice, relaxing day on Monday.  We had dinner in and hung out at the bar for Happy Hour and watched some football with some new friends we met.

Tuesday we drove out to the French side of the Island and hopped on a Ferry Boat to Pinel Island.  We spent the day sipping on a bucket of Carib and relaxing on the beach.  The island was small with two restaurants and a few small shops.  The island does not have any hotels and everyone must be off the island by dark.  The last ferry ride ends at 5:00 PM.  

We packed a picnic lunch and we snorkeled for about 2 hours!  Within the first 10 minutes in the water Danny lost his wedding band.  Sad. Face.  When he said he lost it I thought he was joking.  Unfortunately he was not.

We hiked to the top of the island and saw some iguanas on our adventure.  The view from the top of the island was beautiful.

Once we got back from Pinel Island we went back to the Resort for karaoke night and ended the evening watching the Presidential race.  As everyone already knows, Obama won his second term as president.
