One Last Time to the Carribean... Bonjour St. Martin!

Third times a charm!
Mom won an award at work which included an all expense paid trip to St. Martin. So they packed their bags again and headed south

The company certainly didn't spare any expense, here are a few shots of the resort - La Samana
View at breakfast every morning... not bad


Here is a pic of the Canadian award winners (which is actually just the ladies who won - the boys were just there as arm candy)

The company planned some great activities. One day we all went American Cup's Yacht racing


Everyone had a job. Mom was a 'primary grinder' which was a tough job, especially as it was hard to grind and drink beer at the same time

We raced against our American co-workers. The Canadians raced "True North 4"

(good guys)

The American raced 'Stars & Stripes"

(bad guys)

Unfortunately the race didn't quite turned out as we had hoped...

All dressed up for the big award night

Daddy even bought a new linen suit... very handsome

Mom's award - given to her by Mike Parks (Chairman Alliance Data) and Bryan Pearson (CEO LoyaltyOne)

On the last day of the trip all of the award winners went on a catamaran tour to Anguilla

And the catamaran crew poured us some very interesting drinks


They brought us to our own private island complete with live band

Drinks with the CEO


Intense card game


And since we had all been drinking all afternoon, we thought it would be a great idea to start jumping off of the boat

Ladies first

Even Bryan went for a plunge

Yep... its definitely been a tough spring :)
