We are here...and loving it (of course)
Well the hubby and I are in Negril!
Today is our one year anniversary and as I sit here at the breakfast table at Catcha looking out on the beautiful sunny sky, I want to thank God that the weather this year is MUCH better than this time last year....bittersweet of course but I am not complaining.....just happy to finally be here and enjoying it all.
Catcha is back to beautiful as always and the new outdoor shower at Sagi is amazing. God I love this place.....I feel like I am home.
So today the hubs and I will make up for what should have been our dream wedding day last year (stupid TS Nichole) and I am thankful to have this chance to do it.
We spent the first three days of our trip in Ochi, it was nice but I felt like I was coming home yesterday when we drove in to Negril.
Thursday we landed in Mobay and we went to Luminous Lagoon Thursday night, it was really cool but since it had been raining it probably would have been even brighter after a long sunny day, but we still got some pics and jumped in and swam while the water glowed all around us, too cool!
Friday we had an entire day trip to Port Antonio, it rained most of the day but it was still beautiful. We went to Somerset Falls (gorgeous), then to the Blue Lagoon which was beautiful and we finally ended the day with a rafting trip down the Rio Grande, which was amazing but would have been better (and not as cold) if it hadnt rained almost all of the 2 hour trip LOL
Saturday we spent the day in Ochi and then went to Mystic Mountain which was awesome....highly recommend the place, it was so much fun!We rode the skyride up to the top of the mountain, then rode the bobsleds which were so much fun....we hung out there for a while and then rode the ziplines through the rainforest! Too much fun.....I can't recommend that place enough, it was definitely a good time!
Sunday we woke up, packed up and caught up with our great friend, Chicken who picked us up in Ochi and drove us home to Negril!
We got in to Catcha around 3 or so, had lunch, a nice swim and then walked down to 3 dives for our traditional first meal in Negril dinner of jerk chicken, and get this, our food was ready in like 10 minutes (maybe even less) has to be some sort of record!
We then went next door to Xtabi for a dirty banana and ended the evening sitting in the hammock staring out at the stars on our front porch at Sagi......yeah, it's been a great trip so far
This morning we are getting our scooters and will probably ride around but then back to Catcha this afternoon as my husband has informed me that he has a lot of surprises in store for me to celebrate our anniversary! Yeah!
So thats it for now....I will post pics soon (I promise)
Hey Marley, I have been thinking about you...
Happy Happy Anniversary! I'm so glad to hear that you are having a great trip. I can't believe that this time last year we were both scurrying around trying to move our weddings. Our one year was on the 7th. We sure would have loved to celebrate in Negril and had the chance to meet you both in person. I can't complain too much as we did have a trip in May for 10 days. Seems like years ago now though! I know you have waited to long for this trip and I hope it's the best ever!
I got tears in my eyes...
when I read you sweet message. How nice to know that you were thinking of us well. Isn't it funny to share such a connection with a complete stranger?! You are no stranger to me now. And my whole family knows the story of "my friend Marley who had to move her wedding too"! My mom asked about you the other day! I'm so thrilled to read about your trip and your awesome anniversary surprises at Catcha. What a great husband to arrange all those special things for you. The photographer too and I can't wait to see those pics. I looked at the pics you have posted and they are breathtaking. You really have had an amazing trip and experienced so much! It warms my heart to know that you are having such a special time as noone deserves it more!
