Sint Maarten
Managed to squeeze in a few more airplanes landing before I had to had to the airport-- 'cause aside from when you're boarding on the tarmac, the airport terminal really doesn't have much of a view. Unfortunately I was a tad too close to the runway to get an ideal shot of the one commerical jet landing first thing in the morning; I think that just means I need to come back better-prepared next time.
Plenty more expensive private jets seen during take off, some nice views of the rest of the island, then a rather pleasant flight back to Newark International Airport. Some very slow and indifferent ramen while waiting for my flight back to LAX, but at least today (unlike on the way out), I got upgraded on both flights. Woohoo??
Sint Maarten, til we meet again. Maybe next time I'll see more of the island than the tiny strip by the airport. *grins*
