what’s the first thing you do when starting to plan the perfect honeymoon or vacation? i always tell my couples to call katie with ever after honeymoons! as i promised in my post about katie, here is a little peek into the trip that she planned for us!
when james and i were planning a little getaway for last thanksgiving, we turned to katie to help with our plans. we told her what we were looking to spend, and the type of vacation we wanted. she gave us some different options, from the mexican riviera, a cruise, and jamaica. ultimately…we decided to book a week in negril, jamaica at the grand pineapple resort. thanks to katie, we didn’t have to worry about any of the planning details! we were able to focus on just enjoying ourselves!
here are some of my favorite things about our trip…
- awesome all-inclusive resort right on seven mile beach
- relaxing on the beach, red stripe in hand
- spending the day at rick’s cafe, watching the crazy divers and best sunset ever!
- smokey joe’s jerk chicken cart…mmm mmm!
- learning to shake it “dancehall” style at the jungle nightclub
- our amazing day-trip complete with learning about the different parishes, eating fresh coconut from a roadside vendor, peaceful trip on a bamboo raft down the martha brae river, lunch & dominoes with the locals, and night swimming in the luminous lagoon (where the water glows because of the bioluminescence)
- byron…the bestest driver ever
- lots of wonderful firsts for james and me, snorkeling in the reefs and ziplining through the forests
- meeting awesome fellow travelers from wales, london, new york, and italy
- the multitude of jamaicans we met that made us feel like family! (ya mon!)
- more red stripe…lots of it!
- that katie did the planning!
- and most of all…that i got to spend a whole week in paradise with my smokin’ hot husband! (life doesn’t get much better!)
here are just some of the 2,029 photos that we shot during the trip! just looking at these is making me want to go back right now…especially since as i right this, it’s 46 degrees here and 75 degrees there. i better call katie with ever after honeymoons to plan another trip for us!
