Our Wedding Trip - Day 2

   After spending the first day of our Jamaica trip in Golden, CO, we finally got our flight out of Denver at midnight, Monday night. We flew non-stop to Miami, Florida, where we arrived about 5:30am. We tried sleeping on the floor in the airport, but it was pretty uncomfortable. I think we flew out of Miami about 7am and got into Jamaica around 8:30 Tuesday morning. We were both tired and in need of a shower.
   We checked in with the Sandals office at the airport in Jamaica and then waited for our ride to the resort. When the bus (more like mini-van) driver picked us up and found out which resort we were going to, he said, "Oh! You could've just run across the runway. It's literally right over there. But I wouldn't recommend crossing the runway!" After the 5 minute ride out of the airport and around the runway, we were at the Sandals Montego Bay Resort. And the runway is very literally right behind the resort! At first, planes roaring past all day was a little annoying, but you kind of got used to it and didn't notice it after a day or so. And they didn't roar past at night, so that was nice. Anyways, let me get back to my story.
   We were driven straight to the resort, the weather was lovely, and someone was there to greet us with moist towels and a glass of water. There was a person there to take our luggage, a person to take us to reception to check in, and another person to take us to a little reception room to get our wedding book of information. It was about 10:00am Tuesday morning at this time and the first thing the guy in the reception room says is, "Can I get you anything to drink from the bar?" I think I said something about it being a little early and he replied, "This is Jamaica at a Sandals resort, mon! There is no such thing as time!"

Welcome to Sandals Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica!!!

It was at this point in our trip that Jason found out that he had a new favorite drink for the week: rum punch.

But back to our story: after getting our morning drinks (I got a pina colada, which I found out I do not like,) we got our wedding book of information, signed a few things, and then we were escorted to our room by a bellhop. We promptly got showers and took a nap. After the nap, we went in search of food and found the buffet restaurant, ate, and then wandered around the resort.

Probably the coolest tree on the property, but we haven't found out yet what it is.

The beach was awesome!

I found this boat trailer just hanging out there in the ocean amusing for some reason.

All of the flowers were really pretty!

In the evening, we ate dinner at The Stewfish Restaurant. It offered a delicious seafood cuisine. We were seated on the beach at a candle-lit table. It was amazing! Both the food and the atmosphere!

My spicy shrimp appetizer...

Jason's cheesecake dessert (after he took a bite)...

And that concludes Day 2.
