CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL. Want to see a real one? Dutch St. Maarten Carnival was just out of this world. We were there to capture one of the Carnival Parades. Nobody can party like Caribbeans and the Grand Parades are just part of it. The sheer joy of a Carnival Parade is something to see as is the "winding" of the ladies. You'll see some "winding" so watch it and practice.

CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL. Want to see a real one? French St. Martin just wound up its 17 day Carnival with the final Grand Parade and we were there to video it.

St. Maarten’s newest restaurant and the one everybody is talking about. Valentino’s Italian Bistro opened just last week and people are saying the food is unbelievably good. Valentino’s was put together by the famous Jimbo of Jimbo’s Mesquite Grill which is right next door and this guy really knows what he’s doing. The restaurant has a movie theme and is named after Rudolph Valentino and also the fact that Jimbo’s birthday is on Valentine;s Day. In this V-Log, Jimbo shows you around and even has an encounter with some idiot who shows up five hours before opening time and wants to wait. Check it out.

Matthew likes to hang around the clothing optional beaches on French St, Martin and Orient Bay is the most prominent. Something about nude that appeals to him. We go with him to visit two of the island’s naturist resorts, Club Fantastico and Club Orient which was the the first and is the best known nudist resort on St. Martin. Of course our cameras aren’t permitted on the premises so Matthew goes to relax at Bikini Beach Bar and Restaurant to watch the nudists from his chaise lounge. Nice job you have there Matthew.

Harmony Night in Grand Case. Not just night but “nights”. Every Tuesday there’s all sorts of happenings on the streets and in the restaurants of this famous St. Martin village as Matthew shows us.

We’re known for partying and what’s a vacation all about anyway?
