I love to travel.
I have traveled first class. And I have traveled business class, but usually a large multinational company has paid the fare. For my personal travel, I go coach. Not that I like the smaller seats, the awful meals, and smelly seats, I just would rather spend my money on things that I value more - such as opera tickets, champagne, and spontaneous side trips.
While vacationing in St. Maarten in the Caribbean last Thanksgiving (2008), my husband and I quickly tired of dodging pot holes and construction cranes on the island and opted to go off to the small island of Saba. Saba is known for having the highest point in the Netherlands Antilles (and The Kingdom of The Netherlands). Mount Scenery is 2,828 feet above sea level and we figured the view of the Caribbean from that vantage point would be incredible.
The quick flight to Saba was only about 10 minutes, but the real thrill was the landing strip (see above photo). We came to find out that the Saba airport has the shortest commercial runway in the world. Yikes!
