Honeymoon - St Lucia 10/15/2005

After a fun filled wedding day and going to bed at 2am, Jason and I were up at 4am for our flight to St Lucia (of course we connected through Atlanta)!! Once in St Lucia and through customs, we had an hour van ride to the resort! They drive on the other side of the road and like to pass cars on curves :) Needless to say I was relieved once we got at the resort! We stayed at the Sandals Grande all inclusive resort! We had a blast! Spent lots of time on the beach and in the pool, relaxing, reading, drinking and eating. We also did some kayaking, went on an excursion to see an active volcano and the Piton Mountains and went hiking up to a fort to watch a beautiful sunset. They even had jazz bands playing on the grass every evening and of course Jason bought their cd!!

We were sad to come home but ready to start our new lives together!!
