Friday :(

Today was a bit slower than the other days have been. Emily was feeling ill today, but it was a fun day for just the two of us to spend some time together relaxing in the hotel room.

 
 

Emily did feel a bit better by dinner time though! So we got to go to the Asian Restaurant for some dinner! I got the stirfried lamb, and Emily got the sushi!

 
 

Its funny, Emily has had sushi every night except Thursday. Sometimes we go to dinner, then after dinner we stop by the sushi place for some take home dessert sushi :)

 
 

Hey the Lady knows what she likes right!

 
 

We only have a couple more days here, and can't wait to see you guys once we get back! But for now we are just going to soak in some more tropical sun!

 
 

Peace - Brian

Thursday!

Thursday was the best day yet!

 
 

We have really enjoyed the company of each other, and the new friends we have made!!

 
 

Today began with another amazing breakfast, and then a glass bottom boat tour from Capitan Crunch and his trusty sidekick Seaweed! They pointed out a lot of cool features of the reef to us and yes Cristy, you can tell Ella we saw Nemo!

 
 

After the boat tour was tome for some pool bar, and then a game of pool with our new friends!

 
 

It was a bright sunny afternoon and then the wind started to pick up so I suggested to Emily that we take the sailboat out! Oh wow, it sure was fun to go sailing again! I haven't been Since GG and I went to sailing camp back in boy scouts! WE were out in the cove having a great ol' time when all of a sudden boom! No more wind. :(

 
 

It took us nearly an hour to get the boat back into shore! But being the excellent sailors that Emily and I are we made it! And we got some pretty good tans to go with the experience!

 
 

Thursday night was another fancy dinner night for us! This time is was duck for me and Pork loin for Emily (because the pork loin was the only one that came with mashed potatoes (: )

 
 

After dinner there was a steel drum band , followed by a fire dancer, and then a bon fire on the beach! Emily and I shared a dance!

 
 

Then it was off to the hot tub with our friends!

Wednesday

Wednesday morning we got up nice and early so we could have breakfast before our amazing couples massage! What a great way to start the day!! We both loved it!

 
 

After couples massage it was time for some pool bar, followed by some pool volleyball! Emily and My team dominated, and won some more auction funny money! Hopefully we can put it to good use Sunday night!

 
 

After pool volleyball it was time to go catch the boat for a 2 hour cruise down to Pirates Cave. WE have some really good pics from the boat cruise that we will share later. ( I really need to get better at this blogging thing!)

 
 

After the cruise we went for dinner in the fancy restaurant! Emily looked stunning in her black dress! I had some excellent lamb chops that evening!

 
 

This place will come with a very high recommendation from me! The food is great! The liquor is top shelf! And somehow they have a staff of hundreds that are always friendly!

 
 

I hope someday we can come back!

 
 

We retired early again Wednesday. Sweet dreams!

 
 

 
 

Tuesday!

Tuesday morning I got up early and got us signed up for some of the events that required reservations such as: Snorkeling, catamaran cruise, glass bottom boat tour, and dinner reservations at the fancy restaurant, and best… our free massage!!

 
 

Then Emily and I had a little breakfast and set out for a stroll down the beach. Tuesday overall was a pretty relaxing day, mostly just switching it up between pool bar and sun tanning :)

 
 

We did meet some really cool people that day though! Justin and Ashley whom we then did almost everything else with this week.

 
 

Tuesday night was Casino night. We were playing roulette and Emily promptly put her 100 million couple bucks down on 00. who does that? Well she did, and it hit!

 
 

So when it came time for the auction, we pretty much had out pick of things with our couple billion dollars we had!

 
 

After the auction it was time for…the nude beach! JK! Bed time

Monday

Hi it's Brian again. Boy I have a lot of things to catch you up on!

Sorry we haven't posted in a while, we have been pretty busy you know! I guess I will just take you through a day by day rundown of events.

Monday…

I already mentioned the very scary bus ride to the resort…but I forgot to mention that we also were riding on the bus with 6 couples with a combined marriage experience of 33 years, and 11 days. There were 5 newlywed couples including us and a couple that was on their 33rd anniversary trip. WE made friends with all of them and did things with them throughout the week.

Once we arrived at the resort, they "Welcomed us Home" and got us checked in and our bags were waiting for us in our rooms.

The room is amazing. Our bathroom is Huge and we have a really nice porch with a hammock! Emily was very excited about the jacuzzi tub!

After we got unpacked, we decided to go find a bar to start making the most of our all inclusive investment. We met a couple other couples at the bar, and Emily immediately invited them to dinner. She went over to the greeter at the restaurant, and he said "Table for two?" to which em replied, "No, eight, by the beach please!" Emily has been very bold and outgoing on this trip! It has been a lot of fun!

After an amazing dinner, we had to try out the pool!! And then retired pretty early since it was our first night.

A good Photo Host?

Hi! Its Brian this time. So we Arrived in Jamaica yesterday! Somehow the line for immigration and customs was relatively short. I think we got through both in under a half an hour.

Once we got through customs we were directed toward the couples resort lounge and check in. And as promised we were greeted with a smile and a red stripe!

We then got on board our rickety tour bus with our death defying driver, Michael. As it seems, traffic laws are more just traffic suggestions in Jamaica! I have no idea how there were no incidents :)

On the plane ride over Emily read the manual to her new Camera, so she was very excited to try out her skillz! And I must say, she is doing a GREAT job! Hopefully I can find a decent photo host so that I can post some of these amazing pics she is taking! Any suggestions?

Well we are off to breakfast now, So I will type more up later.

Peace!

The beginning of something great!

Hey it's Emily! It's 6:30 am and Brian and I are at the airport sharing a cinnamon roll and trying to decide where we would like to go today. We ruled out the Florida Keys, Aruba sounds nice, but no. Key largo would be alright. Maybe Bermuda? Or the Bahamas? After much debate, and reading our plane tickets, we decided that Jamaica would be the perfect spot for some relaxing fun!

Yesterday was a good day. So far, I LOVE being married! I love every minute of it. So sorry to disappoint all of you out there who say marriage sucks.

Anyways, yesterday. We got up, chatted with the neighbor, and then went to mass. We said goodbye to Aunt Sarah, Uncle Rich, Peter, and Emily. Then it was off to Panang with Sue for one last round of curry before the trip. Then we ran some errands and tried to get where we wanted to be on packing before we went over to Joe and Cristy's! That was a blast! They were nice enough to agree to watch Sampson for the week AND feed us a farewell steak dinner with home grown veggies (fried up the way we like them). We have some amazing friends. After dinner we settled the girlies in their beds and then played a super fun game. It was good clean fun for everyone :) After that it was back to Sue's to say goodbye to her and Aunt Grace (and pick up a few things we forgot) then it was back to packing. Finally

Brian tried to get me to settle down and go to sleep…. I was too excited!!! But we finally fell asleep and got a 3 hour nap before getting up to head to Jamaica! Almost time to board, there will be more to come!
