Day one, approximately 3:45 a.m., Len and I are pumped and ready to get to the airport. We are both looking a bit exhausted and frazzled. Thank goodness we are headed for 5 nights in paradise.
On plane number one from Dallas to Atlanta. This was the only flight where we actually go to sit next to one another. We landed in Atlanta around 9 a.m. and hopped on a plane to St. Lucia.
Finally at the airport in Hewanorra, St. Lucia at around 3.30 p.m. We are on the south side of the island and our hotel is on the exact opposite side in Castries, St. Lucia.
To avoid a 2 hour car ride through winding roads in a cramped bus, we decided for our first excursion, we would take a helicopter ride from Hewanorra to Castries.

Ahhh.....we're about to get ON that thing!!! And with no instruction about how to enter. I just knew my head was going to get it from one of the blades.
Pictures Len took from the helicopter. I didn't have any free hands. I was holding on tight.
Finally reached the hotel at around 4.30. You have to love a place that welcomes you with champage.
So a very successful and fun first day and night. Thanks Pam and Jake for letting us crash you honeymoon. We were so glad you got to show us the ropes in St. Lucia before you left.

It just happened to work out that we ran into Pam and Jake in St. Lucia on the last night of their honeymoon. We were so excited to get to see them while we were there (hopefully they were excited to see us too and we didn't crash their honeymoon :) ). Len and I hit the ground running. We ran to our room, threw on our suits to catch the last couple of hours of sunshine, did the beach, the pool, the beach, got dressed for dinner, went to dinner, went swimming again, got dressed to go out, then went out.......all in one night.

Day 2 coming soon....
Beautiful view from the helicopter. Sounds like an exhausting and fun fun first day. Can't wait to hear about the rest of it. Convincing me this is what we need to do for our Anniversary coming up.
ReplyDeleteParadise is right! You know after our Sandals vacation on our 4th Anniversary we started trying for a baby two months later. I'm just saying. Love you and miss you.
