Honeymoon.



Now for the honeymoon.

We went to Jamaica. OH MY HECK. Such a pretty place. I will start with Saturday before we left SLC. We were at my parents house and I had read somewhere that for international flights you needed to be to the airport 3 hours before your flight. So me being someone who has to be on time made sure we were at the airport 3 hours before our flight...well it took us about 20 minutes to get our bags checked and through security. I had one frustrated husband. He HATES waiting around and doing nothing. So sitting in the airport for about 3 hours was horrible for him. We had about a 2 hour lay over in Atlanta and how did we spend that? We slept on the airport floor. It was a long morning. After a long night and a long morning we finally got to Jamaica at about 1. We got through customs quickly and made our way to find our hotel place. We got there and had to wait about 15 minutes for the next shuttle to take us to where we needed to go. The shuttle came and we had a 2 hour drive to get to our resort. Once we got to the resort the shuttle doors opened and they started playing music and got us drinks. I knew we were in the right place! we checked into our room and decided to put our swim suits on and head to the pool. That is where we spent most of our time. We really just relaxed at the pool or on the beach. It was so pretty! The hotel had places to eat and activities to do, so we didn't leave. We just spent our time at the resort and relaxed. We went kayaking which didnt last too long because I had a mini panic attack (oceans scare me!), we went paddle boating and snorkeling. While we were snorkeling it started to pour down rain. It was a really cool experience snorkeling and having it rain. A couple of the nights the resort had some entertainment. There was a guy would could literally bend in half. It was kind of disturbing. The other one was a drum band. They were seriously amazing! We went shopping one of the days and everywhere we went we were offered free "samples" of rum. It was a very different experience shopping.
Everyone warned us that we would get offered pot. I never got offered it but everywhere we went they asked Greg if he wanted it, or if he "wanted to party Jamaican style". It was such a blast and we are already wanting to plan our next trip there.

I didn't take many pictures, but here are a couple of the ones I did take!

This is when we first arrived. This was taken at the pit stop we took on our way to the hotel.

The view from our room!

This was the guy that could bend in half!!

When we went snorkeling.

I decided I wanted to eat like a Jamaican. I learned my lesson when this plate came.
Boiled banana, boiled dumplings, and corned beef. Was not my favorite!!

 

Last day. I had to get one more picture.

These are the drum player's. SO GOOD!
 
 
We were sad to leave, but happy to go home! I am ready to go back!
