A bit about Sint Maarten

My time to leave for Sint Maarten is a two weeks away... I'm rushing to get ready for my trip and stay there.

I notice I haven't described Sint Maarten yet.

Sint Maarten is an island located in the caribbean. Its one of the five islands that make up the Netherlands Antilles. The interesting thing about this island is that it is divided into two parts: a french part called Saint Martin, and a dutch part called Sint Maarten. Sint Maarten is located on the southern half of the island and Saint Martin is to the north.

For now Sint Maarten is a Netherland territory, sort of similar to a municipality but on oct. 10, 2010 it will gain full country status.
