Antigua

The view from our final room - checkin was a nightmare, Matt sent me to the beach to "relax" and was able to get it all sorted out (after 2 1/2 hours and a working A/C).


Jolly Beach Resort and Spa
We went to Stingray City on Sunday - I will have to get the photos from my water camera up soon. Matt did touch/hold a stingray - I seem to always encourage him to try "crazy" things. (He always thanks me later, usually much later)
Dinner at Jolly Harbor - we saw the biggest and fattest cat I think we have ever seen. (It tried to get my fish off my plate)

Kayaking from the hotels beach - a turtle surfaced off the side, it gave Matt a good scare until he realized what it was.

The Current had taken us much farther out than we had planned - that is our hotel behind Matt


Matts favorite position - too bad he was already burned from the 1st day :)




Us playing on the beach - the water was the most wonderful blue and the perfect temperature


Matt spent hours looking for sea shells - we brought a huge bag of shells back for the girls including some coral. The shells were everywhere and we could be picky for what we wanted for the girls.

















RELAXATION!




















We watched the Sun Set everynight - Oh so romantic. Even after 10 years of marriage (well almost 10 years - September)






















Dinner









Okay - so not the most flattering picture of me, however after the day I had I was glad to be standing rather than still on my knees with my head over the side of the boat. This is my Dive Master - Paul: we had quite the adventure but I am pleased to say I did get 2 dives in and did very well controlling myself underwater. On top of the water was a different story - lets just say 5-6 foot swells don't agree with my breakfast (11 of 13 of us ended up getting sea sick and they cancelled our afternoon dives due to the waves). Oh - and yes he did dive with the button up shirt and bow tie.



I had to add this picture - we had gone the a local grocery store to get some things and I found these in the "meat" department.






















Matt's adventure choice was a Kayaking trip with Snorkeling and a small hike on Bird Island.











See the water, feel the water, be one with the water - I think I am ready to go back!!





















Sweet Pea greeted us after our day out on the water
















Saying goodbye after 6 wonderful day - and too short of a time.











































I Love being on an island - Matt and I had so much fun and we even spent 1 1/2 days just doing nothing (and I was okay with that).
