So its the 19th?? Sounds like fun, can't wait to meet you, it might just be me and the kidlets though, Alec might have to work, I'll know as it gets closer. We did the sting ray bay last time we went, its $3 each, nothing fancy but a must do, my kidlets loved it and they let you feed them too.

oh gosh that sounds like fun!!!!! I can't wait to go!!!!!!!! we plan on being there as soon as they open so we can stay there the whole day...
I hope Alec will be there too!
can't wait to meet you guys too

I read this on another thread

"Maho beach was a great place to watch aircraft. The jets start landing at around 11:30, the big birds (A340, 747 etc) land between 2:00 and 4:00. The 747's don't land every day, check the schedules for KLM and Corsair. The beach is beautiful as is the water, which is very inviting to swimmers. Note that it's a swimsuit optional beach, so there is likely to be a few topless sunbathers.

At one end of the beach is the Sunset Beach Bar, http://www.sunsetbeachbar.com/ , where you can get drinks and food, they also have restroom.

I rented a car and drove there from the docks. Beware that traffic can get pretty bad at around 4:00 due to rush hour and draw-bridge activity. I left at around 2:30 and got back to the docks with plenty of time to spare. Have fun! "

I read that 1, and that posted a link that gave the bridge opening as about 5:30pm.

 

[pinkygirl]

Yeah, getting stuck at the bridge and missing the boat would be a HUGE bummer LOL. Missing dinner is not the end of the world, since we can eat counter service or something if we need to (but we'd miss Denis and Nancy unless they were stuck at the bridge too LOL).

Anyone have a link to a good detailed map of the island?

hope this works.......and I hope we're not late either LOL

That is a cool link, as long as I see one I will be happy, I want to get a pic and see my kidlets faces, and Alecs for that matter. It must be so loud and scary!!!!! I can't imagine how it would be for the passengers looking out and seeing these people underneath them as their plane lands

 

[TexasGirl]

Hey guys! TexasGirl (Nita) Here.

Just about an hour until we can book Palo, excursions, etc right?

Does anyone know how you check to see if your payment has been applied. I looked at DCL but couldn't see where it would show. There wasn't any info about balance. Just says "booked"

I counted a few others too. Those A320 airbusses are supposed to be decent sized right? I think my parents flew to Ireland on 1 of those.
