How many stars should I give my Uber driver... don’t want to be accused of nepotism 😉

The arrival is magical... I expect no less from my 2-week stay.

After almost a decade I’m back in Saint Barthélemy.

Last day of daughter’s 6-month internship in St Barthélemy.

What an incredible experience of working in an amazing hotel in such a paradise.

Jet lag has its advantages, like exploring “downtown” early in the morning empty of people.

It’s time to say good bye to St Barthelemy. One last look at Gustavia from the lighthouse just before sunset.

See you soon. Let’s hope it won’t take me another 9 years to come back.

I’ve already mentioned that I’m not a beach person.

But I spend a lot of time enjoying the view from above

But the reward at the end of the path is a real hidden gems.

A lot easier accessible by the sea.

Baby girl is leaving the little paradise that she called home for the past 6-month to embark on a trip that will take her to another island at the antipode. A little less than a month of vacation in her old turf and by her family before going back to her studies in Europe.

It will take her 36+ hours of door-to-door travel time but she’ll lose one day in the process. Leaving St Barth on the 13th and arriving in Singapore on the 15th.

Thank goodness for the modern technology that keep us connected.

Remembering when I left home 29 years ago and my parents had to wait until I had arrived at my final destination to receive a phone call reassuring them that I had made it safely to my destination... at some “stranger” home and a country I barely spoke the language, plus no daily communication either as I couldn’t afford the per minute rate between the USA and France phone call 😱
