In 1809, the British troops laid siege to the island, then under French command, and shelled it to almost complete destruction.

Great.

How about terrible comedies?

Ah, that's right, Sint Maarten and that crazy runway, that's definitely worth a visit.

A related but not very fun fact; "Sint" means angry, in Norwegian, and double A is how you write the letter Å (if you don't have access to a keyboard with that letter) and Å is pronounced like the O in the Scandinavian name 'Morten', and so Sint Maarten sounds very much like "Angry Morten" to a norwegian, and a Dane.

Yet another reason to visit.

I'm that generation, too. Well, to be frank, I was 19 when Goldeneye hit the big screen, so I suppose I was already grown up? Although, considering how much I've changed, I guess not..

I just finished watching that show, and it is in part what made me decide it's about time I explore the Caribbean.

I've been to southern Florida, and Key West, a couple of times and I suppose I'm looking for more of that feel/vibe.

Ooooh, nice! Thanks!

Thank you oh so much, this means a lot, it really does. Grenada just made it onto the list.

Thanks, everyone, for all the advice! I have to say, it's pretty friggin' cool to post a question like this and have so many people chime in :)

I'll keep you in the loop on where I end up, and what I end up doing!

We might just have to call in the lockpicking lawyer.

Took a second before I realized there were two.. "What the heck is going on with its' head".

Lucky for him they aren't nearly as stringent with the background checks if you want to be president of the country.

Not to mention compared to a 767.

I guess it was standard practice by Quick Lube to over tighten them even a thousand years ago.

Too sleepy to eat..

Why is he going to a McDonald's to pretend to be working for a couple of minutes, what is that supposed to prove, or disprove? The theatre called politics in the US can be quite baffling.

Very considerate of you to crop out the eyes. Imagine having a photo of yourself posted online, one where you'd be drooling like that

I once saw a tiger cub, at a zoo, get entangled in some branches. At first it was just a little annoyed, as it was trying to free itself. It was cute to watch and you'd be forgiven for wishing you could've given it a hand. When it couldn't immediately get itself free it began sneering, released its claws and dug into those branches like a chainsaw, pieces of wood flying everywhere.

It was impressive to see how much power, and fury, that cute little thing was packing.

Trouble at Lake Tahoe.

Only $72 for the paperback - a steal, I'm sure!

Of course they do, it's vital for them, to ensure the US remains a country where they can legally exploit the population and keep taxes to a minimum.
