  • Finally…..Honeymoon Pictures!

    I am not a picture taker.  In fact, about half the time on our honeymoon, I didn’t even have my camera on me.  Yes, I am horrible!  We ended up with only 2 good pictures of the two of us from the entire honeymoon!  But I will post about it anyway…..

    Part 1 – The Ritz Carlton in San Juan, Puerto Rico

    Complimentary champagne on check-in, and a free bottle of champagne and stawberries on the first night!  And a little gesture by the cleaning staff!

    We went to eat at this cute little “Texan” place on our last night there.  Look at the size of those ribs!!!!!

    I don’t know why that guy is in our picture.

    Part 2 – Cap Juluca Resort, Anguilla, British West Indies

    We were on our way to Anguilla when I took this picture from our ferry.  You have to go to St. Maarten, go through customs, then get on the ferry or a private boat or plane to get to Anguilla.  Then you go through customs again.  Yes, it is a process.  But it was worth it.

    Just look at the beach at Cap Juluca.  This resort was soooooooo worth the money.  I highly highly highly! recommend it.  You have your own beach chairs depending on which villa you are staying in, they bring you sorbet at 3pm every day on the beach.  They bring you ice cold towels during around noon.  Each villa beach area has their own attendant who takes care of your towel needs, watches your stuff, orders you food and brings it to you, etc.  Almost all water activities are included, so we even got to go sailing!

    Breakfast is complimentary every morning, either on your private patio (ours above), or at a resort restaurant.  This is a good thing because breakfast costs easily over $50 for two!

    These are some of the other amenitites.  You get your own hammock, a giant two person bath tub, a mini fridge and a private walkway to the beach.  Yes, the beach was literally 50 feet from my room.  And a note about the mini-fridge:  its fully stocked with beer, soda, water, etc.  Everything is free, although only the water is restocked everyday.  They also give you TWO bottles of free rum!!

    We had such a wonderful time, and it was so relaxing.  We loved Cap Juluca so much that we’re definitely going back in the future.
