WE're HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some quick notes below. Enjoy!

Here¡¦s a run down of my last few days!

Saturday ¡V wedding day. The most beautiful day of my life.

Sunday ¡V post wedding brunch, off to Philly for an over night at the airport.

Monday ¡V on our way. Upgraded to first class for the flight from Charlotte to STT.

Arrive STT ¡V sweat to death getting luggage. Ferry over to Caneel. GREAT place. We had a room beach front on Caneel Bay. Within minutes of arriving we were in suits and in the water with champagne in hand. Compliments of Caneel for our honeymoon ƒº
Beautiful dinner at Equator.

Tuesday ¡V today. Up early for coffee and a lovely beach side breakfast. On Honeymoon beach by 8:45 or so and not another person in sight. Were there until about 10. Spent the afternoon on Scott beach. Arrived Bongo Bongo around 4. Spectacular. That¡¦s all I will say right now. Too much other stuff to say but it will be later.

Pool, hot tub, cocktails, dinner platters from Susie Christy. Now we are getting ready for Yankee baseball ƒº The only tv we will watch on vacation, if we happen to be in for the night.

I put up a few photos. You can see them here. (Including one from the wedding)

Many congratulations once again

Congrats Mary Beth on your wedding and for finally being in St. John - from your fellow New Jerseyite or New Jerseyan, whatever we are(I'm down the turnpike from you in Cherry Hill)!!

I honeymooned at Caneel, and we are going back in November - woohoo - staying at Lavender Hill...Your pics are great!
Did you fly Useless, er, USAirways down? How did you get an upgrade out of them?! I asked for one when we flew them on our honeymoon and they looked at me like I was crazy...

ENJOY YOUR ST. JOHN EXPERIENCE!!!

Congratulations MaryBeth and husband! Thanks for all of the photos of Bongo Bongo. That pool looks so awesome!

Not to put you off the TV for baseball playoffs or anything, but I can see the roof of the first house we ever rented in STJ in the Hart Bay shot you posted...we were there October 2003. John's screams definitely carried across the entire bay that night. Of course, you're Yankees fans, so no sympathy from you I guess.

Enjoy your honeymoon!

Well – let me add my Congrads too. Great pictures and like all the others said – you look sooooo happy. I just knew that you would have that twinkle in your eyes – one for the new hubby and one for God’s gift of St. John. Your visit will flash by – so make sure you take the time to take in all the beauty. OK – stop reading the forum for awhile – grab your honey’s hand – lead him out to the deck – give him a big hug & kiss – do a 360 view of what’s all around you – and the rest will come naturally.

Enjoy your stay.

You're finally there! Can you believe it? I'm so excited for you! Now get on that "island time", slow down and take in every second of it!

Looking forward to more "on the spot" reports from you (like you have nothing better to do on your honeymoon!)

Congrats on your wedding Mary Beth! Love the wedding picture! You guys look so happy!

I had to laugh when I saw your post with 12 replies already. I guess we've all been waiting to hear from you.

The BongoBongo pics look great. At least we know that the BB guys haven't been retouching their photographs.....

Have a GREAT time on your honeymoon!! Good thing you got there before Jorge and his troops did. They might still be remodeling!

Just kiddin.........
