Jamaica Mon!

The sweet Jamaican view from our room :)

I don't think it could have been a better honeymoon. One night, we were lying in a hammock with the perfect view of a sweet reggae band to our right and the ocean view to our left with a plate of chocolate strawberries and two sweet pina coladas . . . we only got out of the hammock to dance. I'm pretty sure that was heaven, right there.

We spent the week sailing, kayaking on the ocean, floating around in pools, and taking naps on the beach. Minus the "hostage situation" in the airport that stopped us from landing in Montego Bay right away and the bad news that I lost my job on the way back, it was a perfect week! The Sandals resort we stayed at was about 2 hours from the airport, so we got to see a bit of the island on the way there and back. It is a whole different world over there. The workers at the resort were so happy and did their work singing and smiling. The tour guide on the bus said,

"Welcome to Jamaica. This is a no-problem island. You're on a no-problem bus. I am a no-problem guide. And you are gonna be no-problem people."

Everything is "noooo-problem, mon" - and that "no-problem" feeling is contagious! By day two, I'm pretty sure the only words we were saying were "No problem, mon" and "More sunscreen, please."

We love you, Jamaica! Hope to see you again soon.
