OK let's try to bust this out....
I think I'm going to steal someone elses idea and just kind of tell the entire story, that may be easier than putting everything into a category!
So we landed in St Thomas on June 2nd around 5:30pm and getting around that airport and finding out transportation was so simple! Everyone was so friendly and that was a nice beginning. We soon discovered that in St Thomas they drive on the other side of the road and wow that was weird at first! We checked into our hotel, which wasn't the best experience, we had all booked the regular basic room, we figured there really couldn't be a bad view from their location, well everyone got upgraded to a harbor view except for me and Nick, and me being a little on edge and a little more than tired I may have went a little bridezilla when she tried to tell me that everyone else had PAID for an upgrade... oh no they didn't! Anyways, my mom felt bad because the hotel wouldn't do anything about it so she paid for us to be in a 2 bedroom suite with a jacuzzi in it, it was BEAUTIFUL but I was really sad that my mom paid for it and all I wanted was a view of the water or the courtyard or something, just not the parking lot! I really didn't see why they couldn't just move our room to the other side of the hall or something, you know!
Anyways, we checked into our room and got changed and went to eat at a restaurant in the hotel because we were beyond hungry! I had teh best salmon ever! After dinner Nick and I decided to go down to the ocean and walk around and check out the hotel.
The next day we got up and spent the morning in the ocean, Nick bought a body board and that was a blast! Around noon we went to the restuarant on the beach at the hotel and had a sampler platter and some nachos (best nachos of my life!) Then I headed to the room to get ready! It was nice and calm because just me and my MOH went to the room and started, by the time I showered, blow dryed my hair and finished my makeup my other bridesmaid (who is a cosmetologist) came in to fix my hair and I headed out to take some pics. The first time I saw Nick I cried! Well, I was getting teary eyes just knowing he was walking up behind me though! It was so nice to see him!
We went to the beach to start the ceremony and it was all so calm and relaxing and stress free... it happened so fast though! I rememeber I was so anxious for the minister to strop talking and let me kiss him! That kiss.....ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Then we headed to Bluebeards Castle to eat dinner and it was really good too! After dinner I didn't want to take my dress off so I made everyone go to the hotel bar!
The next day we got up and went snorkeling on a day sail, wow did we get hammered though! haha! We had a blast but I never made it back out of my hotel room (oops!) I passed out EARLY that night!
The rest of the trip was just Nick and me, we spent a lot of time on the beach together, went shopping one day, but there wasn't a cruise ship in that day so not much was open, we went parasailing (thought that was a little overrated though!)
Our last night was the best though, we went to eat at a restaurant called En Kai, if you are going to St Thomas... EAT THERE! It's a sushi restaurant and I'm completely ruined now! Eat the Neptune and the Kingston.... YUMMY!!
Then it was time to check out (boo) and we got the bill and they tried to charge us for the upgrade that my mom had already paid for, I explained to them what happened and they took it off only to find out when we returned that they did charge me! So now I've been dealing with them for 2 days trying to get $375 back!
So, all in all, everythihng was good, fantastic and I would do anything to live that day over and over and over, it flew by wayyy too fast and I'm really sad it's over, but at least I get to wear my dress again! haha! Nothing bad happened, just the hotel was pretty ugly to me I guess!
SORRY FOR THE NOVEL!!
