October 20-26, 2013

We spent a night in New York and another in St. Martin (18th & 19th) on the way to St. Barts from Portland, Oregon. I don’t remember if we stayed overnight in St. Martin because we couldn’t arrange a flight until the next day or because we just wanted to visit some of our old haunts (from 2006). In any case, we left St. Martin at 5:00 pm on the 20th for the 15-minute flight to St. Barts. We only had one overnight layover (in Salt Lake City) on the way home.

We took the St. Barth Commuter from St. Martin’s Grand Case Airport
