Bidding À Plus Tard (Until Later) to Saint Martin

On our way to the airport as we leave, we stop for lunch at Maho Beach, famous for its location at the very end of Princess Juliana International Airport's runway, where we can watch planes take off and land just above our heads.  We don't stand on the beach to be sandblasted by the jet engines. but settle in at the Sunset Bar and Grill next to the beach.

While waiting for planes to arrive, we dig into fish tacos and Carib beer.

After lunch, we drive around the airport to drop off our rental car and hop on a flight back to the US, with memories of white sand beaches, tropical sunsets, and incredible meals accompanying us all the way home.
