TALL PEOPLE STAY OFF OF THE BEACH!
These are some photos of St. Marteen
Airport, Dutch/French West Indies. The planes impress most people on the beach,
flying over just seconds before touching down at Princess Juliana airport.
Paradise for the beach lovers, having a lovely tropical beach, and for the
aviation fanatics that spends hours on end observing the very low flying skills
of giant commercial plane pilots.
Twelve Boeing 747s operate daily to St. Marteen. The heavy jumbo is the
most impressive of all and attracts the looks of everybody around...
one photo, from inside a 747 Air France, shows how close the beginning of
the runway is to the road and beach at St. Marteen.

Okay, I will be in Lebanon
from Dec 29th through January 9th with some friends.
What all Nacol ("Na-oul") / Moujaes family is in Shweir that I
should visit while there? I met a bunch of cousins while there a
few years back, but I'm not even sure that they use this
website.
Is there anyone in Shweir in the winter?
Very Truly Yours,
Michael Nacol

Michael, you are welcome to
visit my parents. You will be visiting home. You know, I am
Salim and Nora's nephew.
They live down in Shweir, less than 1/4 mile from the church.
I am not sure if you can make it on a weekend, as everybody will
be at work during the week.

I am going to be there over
two weekends, and I will probably try and go visit on Saturday
the 31st and maybe the 7th. I will be staying about 10 minutes
away from Shweir, so I will be very close. Last time I think I
met Ghassan and I believe Ghalil (God rest in peace). Ghassan is
in the clothing business? I tried to email Ghassan a few times
afterwards but I'm not sure the email worked. I would love to
get back in touch with him before returning.
Waleed, I would love to meet your parents there; whose son are
you? I feel embarrassed asking that! We need a digital online
up-to-date family tree with contact info!
![[Smile]](http://www.shweir.com/smile.gif)
George, I think I might have met Marlain Habib last time I was
there a few years back. any relation to the Habib family here in
Houston?
I apprecaite a continued discourse on the family as I prepare
for my trip.
Anyone else wanna come?!!? George, Habib, Nabil??? Are Najib and
Amal there?

Michael, Do you need a
guide while you are there? Boy I would love to do that. It would
be nice to do Christmas in Shweir again but it is not in the
cards.
I wish you a wonderful trip and hope you find there a "bint
jabalieh khooda humr." I will translate after you come back.
Marlyn is the sister of Habib. We are closely related to them on
both sides. Their mother is a Nacol and their father is
Gabriel--two branches of the Moujaes family. Please give them my
love. and have a wonderful but safe trip

Michael,
My dad is Shehadeh Moujaes and mom Mary Moujaes. He is Salim's
brother (Salim and Nora Moujaes in Port Arthur is my uncle).
I am sure they would love to have you. Let me know.

Waleed,
Okay, now I must meet your parents, Shehadeh and Mary! Salim and
Nora are my godfather and mother through my baptism at St.
Michael's here in Beaumont. I will be close to Shweir and want
to dedicate a while to simply exploring the town and learning
about my history. Are your parents staying there throughout the
winter?
Habib! Yella, Amo, how I wish you could guide me through the
trip. I think a nice post-Christmas break in Lebanon might be
the perfect trip to wind you down from the hoiday season! I
would love us all to go together. Inshalla during the summer or
next New Years? Miss you & love you!

“Is there anyone in Shweir
in the winter?”
I am in Shweir Michael.
Why you specified the Nacol/ Moujaes family in Shweir.
This website made us one family I love and wish to meet everyone
belong to it.
Michael I wish you added to your list Kiame family that is mine,
my parents and I will be happy to receive you.
Winter in Shweir is beautiful just to those who know how to live
it.
I wish to know how I can help you.
Please Michael, feel you are coming home.

Samar,
Thank you for reminding me that we all share in being the same
family from the same home.
I will count the Kiame family as my own and I would be honored
to meet you and your parents.
How do I find you once I get to Shweir? I will likely come on
the 31st during the morning.
Very Truly Yours,
Michael Nacol

Michael,
Give them a call. They will be there: 04-391168. You can also
reach my sister on her
cell: 03-672257 in case no one was at home when you call.
I spoke to them and they expect you. I think that my brother
will still be there for the Christmas break (he is now in KSA),
and he can take you around the town.
