We spent our entire vacation on the French side in a lovely little hotel (Bleu Emeraude) in Grand Case. Best.decision.ever. Some useful things to know if you choose to do the same: Paying $1 to pee in a *clean* men’s room at the mall in Marigot = best money ever spent. Orient Beach is lovely…

Speaking of comfort zones
I’m not afraid of heights, but I’m not exactly fond of them. And I really freak out when my kids are up high with nothing between them and a fall. So, if I had seen this sign BEFORE we hiked up… I would have missed out on this… and this…. and this… But I also…
