What a ride

I just got back from my honeymoon. 

The last 12 or so days have been crazy.  We had our wedding on an incredibly beautiful day.  All of my closest friends and family were there.  And I am now married to the most amazing woman I have ever met.  People were not kidding when they said it would go by fast.  I can't believe it's over.  Except for our cake getting into a car accident (it was promptly replaced) and the shuttle leaving a bridesmaid on the side of the road, everything seemed to go off without a hitch.

 10 days in St. Lucia has made me unable to survive around a computer and I can no longer post a picture.  I have a couple I would like to throw up here, so once I figure it out I can share the magic.

St. Lucia was dope.  We split our stay between two places.  One place was a villa right near the water (www.tikaye.com 4 days), and the second was supposed to be a villa in the mtns (www.ladera.com 6 days).  When we got to the second one, they screwed up and our room wasn't ready.  Instead of a plunge pool and a view of the pitons, we got a tiny room with a small deck that faced out over a road.  The deck was so small that if you unfolded the folding chairs that were on it, your legs would be on the deck and you torso would be in the room.  We were pretty bummed and had considered just scrapping it and going back to the first resort.

It was only for one night and of course they covered all of our expenses for that day.  But then they took it to the next level...they upgraded us to a three bedroom villa with a fantastic view and a private pool  where you could park two mini vans lengthwise.  Not much reason for two newlyweds to hit the beach, when you have a private pool and an all inlcusive package.  In short, the honeymoon was legit.  I even found sum time to read the Da Vinci Code and The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and beat the new mario game and the original advance wars on my DS (which I got for my birthday, two days before my wedding). 

I know I will probably get slammed for this one, but the all inclusive package at the second place also included a free spa treatment, so I got my first pedicure...and I loved it. 

Right now, life is pretty damn good.

Hopefully I can get some pictures up, but check out those weblinks to the resorts.  I would say Ladera was probably better, and would have been even if we had gottne the room we booked, instead of being upgraded to the uber-villa.
