I’m going on vacation soon, for a while week (finally). It’s our 5 year anniversary, and I’m taking the wife to the tiny two nation island of Sint Maarten/St. Martin.

The St. Maarten Reservation Center has helped us plan our trip, and I feel like Ted and JoAnne there are close friends of mine already. We’re staying in a 3 bedroom villa on the Dutch side of the island while we’re there, not far from Pelican Key.

And believe it or not, I can’t find a decent map of the island, but here are a few that at least provide a little information:

• JMB’s Maps
• Map of the island
• GoBeach.com’s Map
• Travel Fact’s Map
• Another Map

And lastly, I’ll have to remember to check the forcast before we leave (for the airport):
