After the concert on Friday we got up nice and early and made the drive from Salisbury to Davidsonville to meet with our travel agent Christi from
travel bug travel agency. Mike and I both have never left the United States so choosing a destination for our honeymoon was kind of a hard decision. I had posted on facebook for inputs of where to go, since October is a tricky month because of hurricanes and I had a number of people tell me St. Lucia. It is in the hurricane belt, but rarly gets hit and hasn't gotten hit directly in years. Plus a few of Mikes friends from BGE have been to the Sandals La Toc in St Lucia and highly recommended it. 2 couples went on their honeymoon there, one was in the month of November, and the other couple went for a friends wedding in October! They said the weather was great in October. Mike and I checked the place out online and read tons and tons of reviews on the place. There were a lot of mixed reviews, but I truly believe it all depends on the type of person you are. It doesn't take too much to make us happy were pretty easy going so I think as long as you have a good attitude everything will be fine! After meeting with Christi and discussing the Sandals La Toc and the different room options we decided on booking the Romeo and Juliet Oceanview Butler Suite on the Bluffs! She highly recommended getting a room with butler service as well as many reviews that we have read. It seems worth it and it seems like it would be a disaster if you didn't have it since they basically get dibs on everything first, dinner reservations, beach and pool lounges, and so on. The other nice thing about staying at a Sandals resort in St Lucia is that they have 3 in total all being 15 minutes apart that you can shuttle to and you have access to their beaches and resturants as well. I like to keep the mind frame that i'm only going to do this once, may as well do it right! After marriage there is going to be more bills, your going to start having kids and it will only get harder and harder to do things like this, so we may as well take advantage of this luxery while we can!
