5 highlights of Dutch Sint Maarten

Dave Senior Taking up 40 percent of the island of St. Martin and with a population of around 58,000, this territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands packs a whole lot of fun, flavor, and personality into a petite package.

Thanks for the advice from everyone about Caribbean destinations. We just returned from a seven island sail on the Royal Clipper - a most amazing way to travel the Caribbean. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for an authentic sailing cruise. A large selection of photos are available on my photo site: http://cpsc.zenfolio.com/2011RoyalClipper
