Honeymoon Recap: Monday

We woke up early Monday and went back to the airport to catch our flight.  We got there and international check in was a BREEZE.  We had some time to kill so we thought it would be fun to see how much it would be to upgrade to first class.  On the flight from Chicago to Miami, the first class seats were the ones that basically turned into beds so we were hoping it may be the same from Miami to St. Lucia.  We had some trouble, but with some help from the American Airlines staff at the upgrade kiosks, we got our first class seats!  This is the first time that either of had flown first class so we were really excited… ok, well maybe I was more excited that J was…

 Champagne before take-off

Wine and mixed nuts... yep, they came in that bowl, not in a shiny bag.

Lunch... spinach salad, cheese stuff shells, wine, water, bread and raspberry cheesecake.  I meant to take a picture before I started eating... oops  :-D

One more thing to add about first class… the seats are WAY better for sleeping, which is what I did the most during our flight.  I was SOOOO tired from the week before and must have needed sleep so badly so this was a great chance to get a little bit caught up!

We finally arrived in St. Lucia and we were met by the resort reps and taken in a private car from the airport, across the island, to our resort.  It was a LONG trip, but the scenery and driver were nice.

We got to the resort where we met our butler… YES… OUR BUTLER.  J booked one of the rooms that had butler service!!  Before he took us on a tour of the resort, I had to take pictures of our room...

Despite a good nap on the plane, we were both tired.  After our resort tour and a little time in the sauna, we went to dinner, went back to the room for some more champagne and SLEEP!  We had to get up early the next day for the ZIP LINE!!!
