Some of you may remember a post I made way back in August about our trip to the Caribbean. If you need a reminder go here to read the post.

Due to immigration and my immigration interview which is scheduled for the same week we were supposed to go to St Lucia we had to change our vacation dates. At first we were not even sure we would be able to change it and thought we would lose out on going all together. However once I thought about it I realized that airlines always want to make money and having people change travel plans is just the way to do that. We attempted to make the changes over the phone but none of the operators we talked to over at US Airways spoke very good English and it made for a very frustrating and confusing time. We decided it would be easiest to just go down to the airport and speak directly to a US Airways rep.

Once we got to the airport and had the nice lady start to look dates up for us we realized that going to St Lucia wasn't going to be an option. You see, because the tickets we have were vouchers, only certain flights are available. She looked all the way out to December and there was only ONE flight in November available. That would have been great except for the fact there was no return flight. Now as much as Chris and I would love to live on a beautiful island, it's just not realistic. The other issue was that US Airways only flies to St Lucia on weekends which didn't really leave a lot of options. The lady suggested we fly to another location that they fly to more often. We didn't realize we could change the date and the location, but thank God we could. So we talked about it and decided on Jamaica, she found us flights in September which was ok with us. They charged us 200 bucks for the changes and we were on our way. It sucks we had to pay the extra but I am just thankful we were able to change things. We leave Sept 13 and return Sept 20th.

We are still staying at a Sandals All Inclusive Resort. We are staying at a place called Dunn's River. We officially booked our trip the other day through Chris's mom last week and we are so excited. Neither of us have ever been anywhere like this and this is really like a honeymoon for us. We moved to Boston almost immediately after we got married for Chris's job and really never had a chance to go anywhere. We have heard so many good things about the Sandals resorts and I can hardly wait. What we look forward to the most is not having to worry about money while we are there. The closest Sandals next to us has a beautiful 18 hole golf course which of course is included, we will be taking our golf clubs.

The great thing is that when you stay at one Sandals you get full access to all the others on that island. And it is adult only so we won't have to worry about rowdy teenagers getting in the way of our fun.
