St. Barts

It was LOVE, LOVe, LOve, 

at first sight

1 hour 15 minute ferry from St. Martin to St. Barts

 St. Barts

is beautiful, clean, posh, and French

Since these are a few of my favorite things

I was in Caribbean heaven

~*Sun, Sand, Beaches, Baguettes, Croissants*~

Just a few Yachts in Gustavia, St. Barts

And a few more.....

Crystal clear water

Our student budget

had us staying at a quaint little B&B

The Normandie Hotel

Normandie Hotel Pool Deck 

The hotel was Nautical themed

It was a cute boutique style hotel/ B&B

with clean and friendly staff and

French breakfast

All at a reasonable price

withing walking distance to beautiful Lorient Beach

Colourful sign and cans for cigarette butts...oh the french

Our stay on St. Barts 

was short and sweet

However,

We rented a car 

and toured the whole island with ease

We Loved, loved, loved, every minute of it

We sampled a few beaches

Saline Beach *tres belle*

Lorient Beach *Great Surf*

Shell Beach *Unique*

Shell beach 

truly lives up to its name

the whole beach is covered with sea shells

She sells sea shells by the seashore

St. Barts 

is also known for high end shopping

We shopped (mostly window) in the two towns/cities

Gustavia (the port and capital) and St. Jean (the airport)

Even the graveyards are ridiculously beautiful on St.Barts

Cotton Plants... it really feels like cotton!!!

Beach side Hut for Lunch

Checking out the Surf

The St. Barts highlight was definitely 

Surfing on Lorient beach

Nathan, Joel, Steve

The boys were so happy and excited

It was as if Christmas came early!

Surf's up!

I also joined them Surfing

I had previously tried surfing, a few times, at home in the cold Atlantic

All I can say is 

warm water makes it much more pleasurable

I can't wait to try it again :)

Nathan & Angela

I was SO sad to leave St. Barts

It has everything you could EVER want right at your finger tips

The pain was eased slightly 

when we realized our Travel Club 

were  the only people on the plane!

Private Planes.... this is how we roll ....

So we ended our St. Barts experience

In Style

with a private "charted" Winair flight   

St. Barts Airport

 All in all

no one could imagine a better vacation

Beautiful islands + Great friends ='s 

The Perfect Vacation

Some might even call it

Legend.... wait for it... dary
