Agree.After 33 trips over 26 years,and ,since we retired,now spending a lot of time,it's not a vacation any more,it's simply the other place we live.But we have never forgotten getting off the plane that first magic time in 1985.Agree with Mike that there are many other fabulous places in the world,and while we no longer get "all gushy" about it,we would look long and hard to find a better place to call our" second home"

ps- but having just spent two full days and nights returning from Madagascar,not to mention the "bush taxi" ride to the village we worked in, going to SBH from Ottawa will now be regarded as " a trip to the corner store", and I hereby resolve to no longer read any more posts entitled " is 2 hours long enough to connect in SXM?" or "what should I do if my luggage doesn't make it?!"

Keep thinking about this question. I guess, in a way, it's the simplicity of it all, the little things - the stop at the bakery (looking past the croissants to the pain au cereal), first car in the lot at the beach, the feeling, every single time, when our feet first touch the sand, hearing the sounds, smelling the smells, sharing it all with the man I love.

I certainly don't want to give the impression that I am ONLY happy while on St. Barth.
So far, I am blessed to have lived what I consider to be an almost charmed life, and I am still a young man. Yet, there is something about St. Barth--sublime and pleasant--that is difficult to find in other places, situations, experiences.

As my wife and I prepare for our second, and certainly not last, trip to St. Barts this October, we look forward to fresh croissants and coffee in the morning on the pool deck, delicious baguette sandwiches on one of the many beautiful beaches, and cocktails in the evening or the pool deck.
