My dream airport. Sitting on a barstool, plastered, shooting airplanes. Is there ANY better thing in life for just one day?

You can get damn close to that right here in DC. Look up Gravelly Point.
 
I'm not seeing a bar. A beer, a barstool, and a babe. Que the airplane. In that order. :)

Well, ya gotta bring your own booze to GP, and it's probably not legal, but that's the thrill of annoying the Feds. The babe part...I'm a married man. Can't help ya there. My wife's friends, though....
 
What's better than playing with a Cub on a nice sunny spring afternoon? Nothing, that's what.

I googled my airplane and came across one that made it to Airliners.net. I think we were waiting for our clearance.

I went there for a week back in 04. And every single day I went to the Sunset Beach Bar, drank beers all day, and watched the planes land. I jumped in the water a couple of times, but mostly just beers and airplanes. Probably the most "boring" vacation I've ever taken in terms of actually doing stuff, but it was probably as close to perfection for me short of having a beautiful woman sitting on my lap while I drank and watched airplanes.

As for the women on the beach... maybe I was there on an off week, but there wasn't much talent.

Sint Maarten is highly overrated, just like most of the touristy locations in the Caribbean. Who says different hasn`t really seen the rest of the world.

I dunno I just think that after the 10th freaking 747 landing there it gets boring, the fact of it being an off week didn`t matter much as there isn`t really much talent year round, it`s too much of a Cruise ship bunch kind of place, you need to head towards St Barth and go to places like Nikki Beach.

The big downside of the Caribbean for solo/single travelers is that it`s too much of an honeymooner/couples type of escape, this is why I like Brazil`s northern coastline better (costs about the same a trip there), much more of a vibrant and outgoing local population and no lack of beautiful single women....there are places that can just compete fine as far as natural beauty with the islands, not to mention the surfing is much better.
