Livin' For The City.: Feelin' Hot Hot Hot.

So Melissa and I spent our wedding night in the Destination's Inn New York themed room. No details but it was a rather enjoyable evening. The next morning (Sunday) we went to her parents home and since her brother in law is a branch president in Georgia we had a little sacrament in her living room. It was nice to be gathered with family and reminisce about our awesome sealing. We then opened presents and it was impressive the amount of things that we got. I am sure glad that there are people out there who love us and got us thousands of dollars of things. I would list but that is not what this entry is about. The last hour of our visit there in her parent's house I was being harassed about where the honeymoon is. I had made up my mind that it was going to be a surprise and it was :) I held off telling anyone.

So Melissa and I got on the shuttle and headed out to go to the Salt Lake Airport. Our first flight was to to go to Atlanta and our second flight....the final destination was to... St Lucia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Melissa and I went to Beautiful St. Lucia on our honeymoon and it was awesome. We got into the airport and took a LOOOOOOOOOOONG and very curvy cab ride to our resort. We went to this awesome resort in St Lucia that is a 40 acre jungle setting with a bunch of 1 story buildings spread out across the entire resort. When we arrived to the resort it was raining and we had a mini shuttle take us up to our room and we shared it with this other couple who was going up to their room as well having just checked in like us. Well this couple....this couple. Ok. So the man was a sharp looking guy, had a tattoo on his arm but otherwise looked like a normal professional and clean cut guy. On the other hand, the wife was a nightmare, she looked 10 years older and had her eyes 6 inches apart it seemed and she had a greasy blond afro, overweight, and reeked of alcohol. She sat next to me and asked us if we were "loud" since it was our honeymoon. We didn't really know how to answer the question and she proceeded to tell us not to worry because she was really loud. I was mortified and disgusted at this 40 year old woman for being so distasteful. We got dropped off at our room and came to find out that hers was a couple buildings down down. Melissa and I go in our room and lay down for a little while. We get our suits on and headed down to the hot tub. On our way we walk past the couple previously mentioned's hotel and she tried to lure us into her room and enjoy some champagne and we of course thanked her but declined because we don't drink. We made it to the hot tub and it was raining and the hot tub wasn't tooo hot. I mean like we actually had goose bumps under the water. We then dry up and head to dinner. We waited in the lobby for a person to lead us down to the restaurant for dinner. At this resort there are 8 pools and 6 restaurants. 2 options for breakfast. 3 for lunch and 4 for dinner. Since it was our first day we were told to eat at the buffet. So we did. And guess who was accompanied to the restaurant the same time as us. Yes. The obnoxious woman and her normal husband. She asked us whether we were under 18 or mormons. We laughed and assumed that it was because of denying the drinks. Well we told her we were mormons and we went our separate ways to eat our dinners. Dinner was very good and we went back to our hotel rooms to crash. The room was nice and the bed was HUGE! We could each lie on an opposite edge and reach for each other and barely graze fingertips. That night Melissa woke me up because she saw a bug and wanted me to kill it. She screamed that it was the size of a dollar when maybe it was the size of a 50 cent piece haha. Well the next morning we go to the pool and beach and it was super amazing. The weather was in the 80s and I just loved the humidity and the crystal clear waters.

This next day we started to take advantage really of the type of resort it was. All inclusive is the way to go. We had unlimited food and drinks any hour of the day. We went for lunch at this Italian restaurant and had a great appetizer. Silk pasta handkerchiefs with herb cream sauce then seafood risotto and a pizza and some tiramisu. YUM. We drank our body weight in virgin daiquiris and Piña Coladas and it was great. We had a late dinner over the piers at this yummy Italian restaurant called La Trattoria. We ate there a couple times. For dinner we would eat at the waterside grill or Cafe Asia. We loved those restaurants so much. They both require reservations so for the last for days we ate at each twice alternating days. These restaurants were so different but so good. I loved the waterside grill because it was a nice seafood grill overlooking the beach and the caribbean sea. I also loved the cafe asia because the food was so dang good. I loved the thai cuisine and the restaurant was 5* and super intimate....that is till you find that the people sitting next to you is the woman and her husband that were obnoxious the first day. haha. They like wanted to try bites of our food. Melissa had to read them the menu. We that night decided that it was a must to give them a name instead of just calling them the Canadian couple. We decided to name her Madge. And madge she was called.

The honeymoon was the most amazing time of our lives. We were like the youngest couple there and most people there were europeans on their 2 week easter holiday. I will now share some highlights.
