A little JAMAICA love!

When we left the reception. We headed off to the Peabody, where we had the best room ever. seriously. We were given an upgrade because of renovations being completed, and let me just say, it was FAB. Even Pete suggested that we just skip Jamaica and stay at the peabody "apartment" all week. Unfortunately, we had to be at the airport super early and didnt get to experience more Peabody time that next morning! 

However, it was Petes first plane ride. (YEAH, i know. How in the world had he not flown in 24 years of life?, I dont know!) I could tell he was a bit nervous before we took off! And ofcourse I was all giggles about the situation. WELL, turns out, I was the one who got nauseated on that first leg! It was all bumpity bump and I wanted OFF that plane. So I spent the next flight from atlanta to jamaica asleep, and Pete was perfectly fine. We were SO lost when we landed at the Montego Bay airport.  We were glad when we finally figured it out and got on the right shuttle to the resort. The shuttle ride was scary! Jamaicans do not follow speed limits, and stop lights apparently mean go faster. The tour guide told me " dont worry, we dont run over anything we dont eat"....Oh, how lovely...

Roadside Photo time

The resort was absolutely beautiful! and our "villa" was away from the hustle and bustle of the main area, so we really enjoyed it and our balcony.

hey hubby, smile!

where we spent most of our time! 

He got a little tired of me trying to take his picture all the time :) He better get used to it..

I loved the pool! 

Each night we had dinner in a different restaurant at the resort, which we loved! Pete was a little more adventurous with the food than I was (He eats everything). After dinner we would go sit on the balcony area over the giant pool and ocean, and it was sooo beautiful!

We always had fun asking people to take our picture. Never knowing if they spoke English or not! Everyone was either Asian or British. I think we became known as the "american honeymooners".

On Wednesday, we decided to leave the resort and get a taste of the real Jamaican culture. Which also meant, get on a scary bus ride again. I very much enjoyed getting a tour of the towns and goats all over the road (all farm animals have free range). We stopped at Margaritaville in Negril and had lunch, then did a little more touring and went to Rick's Cafe and watched crazy people jump off of cliffs. (very entertaining actually). We also caught the beautiful sunset there, before heading back to the resort.

Pete was very concerned about someone stealing me while we there (super cute), so I wasnt allowed to go anywhere alone..ha! Especially in the airport! Which is also where I set off the customs security alarm. Future advice yall: Renaldo and Yurman bracelets will not go through airport security in Atlanta, and will cause giant men with guns to give you funny  terrorists looks!


We had such a great time with each other, and Jamaica was a wonderful, romantic place for a honeymoon. It really was a great way to relax after such a busy time and be together without having any other plans.

But there is nothing like coming back home to Mississippi!

See you next time Jamaica!
