His Hers Money

We were booked to stay a week in Montego Bay, Jamacia. The trip was really planned as our honeymoon but when we boarded the plane that morning I have to admit we were completely unmarried and really didn’t have anything on the books as to plans to actually get married. Our original plan didn’t quite work out for us as to our wedding plans but we were determined to move on and have a great time since it really was our honeymoon.

My big surprise to Him was a upgrade to First Class on our flights down to Jamaica. I had a few upgrade points in my frequent flyer account so the cost was minimal. We had to fly out of BWI airport at 6:30am so it required a VERY early alarm clock setting and departure. It is about an hour drive up to Baltimore and at that hour there is luckily no traffic.

Our flight down to Miami was pretty uneventful. A few really strong OJs and Vodka certainly made the flight go a lot quicker (huge Kudos to our excellent bartender - I mean flight attendant). Our flight from Miami to Montego Bay was pretty much a party mobile up in First Class. Everyone was going on vacation, having a few drinks and just having a great time.

We met some great people on the plane including a rap / reggae artist who was handing out copies of his new CD (it’s pretty good). The flight flew by and before we knew it we were queued up in customs / immigration ready to kick off our vacation.

We were staying at the Sandals Royal Caribbean all inclusive resort (separate post to come reviewing the property and it service). Upon arriving at the airport you are greeted by resort greeters, they take your luggage off your hands and show you the way to the bar. They load everything up and then you board a bus to the resort.

It was only about a 15 minute drive but the scenery was NOT nice. It really makes you appreciate what you have and where you live when you see some of the huts and falling down structures that some people have to live in.

We had a great time on our vacation and met tons of great people. My next post will detail the resort and our experience there.
