Carnival Cruise: Day 7

The vibe that we got from St. Maarteen caused us both to think, separately, that we would be willing to move here when we retire. Forget the average temperature of 90 degrees, or the insane relative humidity, it just seemed more civilized than any of the other islands we visited. More civilized, and yet not industrial like Puerto Rico.

We chose the island tour for St. Maarteen, and while it was interesting and full of historical facts, I am not sure I will ever do a island tour again. It's basically a glorified taxi ride around the island with one stop for pictures, and one stop for shopping in the French district.

Seeing French again was weird, Jenn kept showing off and saying mercy to everyone...:) there was relatively little shopping near the cruise, and with the time we had and the duration of the tour we didn't get anything else done.

It being the last night we had a long long dinner, and watched a movie before packing up our stuff. Back to reality tomorrow.
