There is a beach in St. Martin called Maho Beach. This beach is no ordinary beach. It I'd located at the very end of an airport runway... So! Robert and I were curious. We had to check it out for ourselves. We went yesterday and stood behind a jumbo jet with four big engines and got completely sand blasted as it roared up its engines and took off! Thankfully we didn't get thrown down the beach like other people. We did almost lose Robert's hat and sunglasses. And we both have a fresh layer of skin as the top layer has been removed by sand... Lovely! :-) but very fun! The planes landing were not as windy as the ones taking off.
