Several years ago I was looking to get away from it all!  I had been working on a project at work that was a 3 year plan, working overtime for over a year. 15 hour days had burnt me out and I needed to find a place to escape too. After several web searches I found a forum by the the name of Traveltalkonline-TTOL-http://www.traveltalkonline.com/- that discussed traveling to a Island called St. Maarten.   I booked a trip and never turned back.  I have been traveling to this special Island since 2004.  Every April I look forward to this trip to my new home, yes, that is how I feel.  The Island people, way of life and the feeling I get when I return every trip is awesome. The images that I have in my mind and heart will last me a lifetime. The sunset images I have taken keep me grounded till the next visit.  Many say do not let the secret out, I say proclaim it to the world, St. Maarten is the best keep secret, but I have to share my feelings!
