WHERE AM I…?

We have been having a blast on and off the ship this entire time, but, the best was yet to come apparently. I’ve heard about St. Marteen in the past, but never in a million years did I think I would ever make it there, and there we finally made it! At first glance I was like, “ok, it’s a pretty island”, but little did I know the fun day Candice had arranged for us there to see the entire island and beaches.

WAVERUNNERS!!!!!!

Whoever said full 110% joy didn’t exist, has never been on a waverunner! I’ve never been one one before, and to do it here at St. Marteen, well bring that 110% up to 1000%! A bit intimidating at first knowing we were riding straight out to sea, I mean, I’ve seen movies… I’ve seen Shark, I’ve seen The Meg… So I figured, I’ll just go fast and I’ll be good! We went FAST! But not for long, looking at the crystal clear water, I quickly forgot what I was even nervous about.

BEACH 1, 2, 3, 4…

We lucked out that the rest of the tour group didn’t make it on time, which mean, we had our very own tour guide all to ourselves and he made sure we got the Royal treatment by taking us to many beaches to swim, and just enjoy the day.

Every time we stopped, he would tell us to look down at the water. You’d think that would get old quick, but every time was just amazing seeing the clear water and fish swimming under us. What about the temperature you ask? AMAZING! you could jump in and feel refreshed, then jump back out to keep on riding and feel comfortable. Could not get better than that. Or could it…?

DO THEY KNOW THEY ARE LIVING THE DREAM?

By mid day we had already hit 4 different beaches and swam at every single one of them, and you know what? None of them was a bad beach! They literally kept getting better and better. By this time, our tour guide asked if we were hungry… I figured, ok maybe he brought some snacks, or packed some sandwiches and waters, but he then said, “K, follow me.” Follow him where?!

To paradise 2.0, that’s where we arrived! He helped us anchor the waverunners and then taxied us to the beach and told us to wait for him. Couple of minutes later he walked us over to Captain Frenchy right on the beach and told us it was lunch time!

Ok. I love steak. I’ve eaten steak at many places and I have many favorite places to go eat steak. But guys. I never thought I’d be eating the best steak I’ve ever had in my life, and right on the beach to top it off. So remember that 1000%? make that 10,000% full joy complete.

2nd half of the tour coming soon on my next blog!
