Jamaica anyone???

So...I'm going to Jamaica! YAY! I didn't want to post anything before it was confirmed, but I just booked the plane tickets, so it's official! It happened quite suddenly (wedding is Oct 26th--NOT MINE!) and was somewhat expensive, but you only live once, right?

The story: one of the Biology grad students (who came in with my group) just recently got engaged to his girlfriend of ~10 years. His now fiance was getting a little stressed about planning a wedding so soon, so they just decided to have it down in Jamaica. My friend and her fiance (engaged last week) somehow managed to get their family to give them an early engagement present of some money towards going to Jamaica and then I got it in my head that Chris and I should go too. We had to wait to make sure Chris could get the time off--it was driving me nuts, but we can go!

The bad thing: it's at a resort, so it's not roughing it like I'd like it to be.

The good thing: it's at a resort, so it's not roughing it like I thought I'd like it to be. :o) It's all inclusive, so food, alcohol, scuba...no charge. What more could I ask for? Also, I booked the same flight as our friends, so we can carpool and share the hotel room in Charlotte.

I'm stoked STOKED STOKED STOKED! :o)

  2. That's awesome :) I'm a little confused though. Are they having the wedding there or are you guys just going as a vacation? Either way, it should be a blast!

    P.S. I can see your blog again! Did you change something? When I was looking before I could barely see the writing and it was all green. Anyway, I can see now. And I'm gonna try to set up sparkpeople and start using that this week- looks like a good site. Thanks.

  3. The wedding will be in Jamaica.

    Yeah, I tweaked some of the "opacitys" previously so that you can see the pictures better (and it worked for me) but apparently it was causing the text to wash out for some people. Oh well. :oP
