Honeymoon in Montego Bay

After a very long and somewhat chaotic week, Chris and I were ready for a week long Sandals vacation in beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica. We flew out of Cincinnati into Miami, then on to Montego Bay. Everything went very smoothly until we got to Montego Bay and realized our luggage didn't make the same flight we did! Like sister, like sister! Huh, Chica? :-)

Our tickets, passports, and Sandals reservations that took us to our waiting Paradise

Chris and I were not overly humored when our Miami --> Montego Bay flight was delayed. . .for the fourth time!
This was one of the neatest things I saw on the beach - a life-size chess board! It was awesome!
We went back that night after dinner to play a quick game.

The view from the balcony of our room. We were able to enjoy several events taking place on this pavilion with a front row seat view, including weddings.

The beautiful Jamaican sunset

Chris was VERY excited about his little shrimp dish! Apparently it was his favorite thing he ate while at the resort.
The food could not have been better. Every dinner was white glove service with at least 4 courses. We enjoyed the Orlander, Cucina Romana, Pavlion, Bayside, and the OK Corral. Each restaurant was unique in its food, service, and decorations.

I thought this was so cute! They put little flowers in the beach towels!

We both chose an activity of personal interest to do together. Chris chose horsebacking riding which was actually called "Swimming with the Horses." We literally rode horses out into the ocean until it was over the horses' heads! Very cool! I chose river tubing which was loads of fun. We had a great tour guide who was absolutely hysterical! He kept yelling "Shark!" and everyone would panic until they realized that sharks do not exist in that part of the Caribbean.

All in all, it was a wonderful week. Jamaica is beautiful, and I would recommend it to anyone. The people there thrive on pleasing tourists, making it an experience never to be forgotten.
