After a blizzard at home and two and half days of no power before leaving, we are now in beautiful Jamaica for Christmas! What a time with the blizzard, it was beautiful until the power went out and we had to endure the cold and no electricity. Amazing how one takes having electricity for granted until you don't have it.
We sent the kids off to grandma and grandpa's for a night hoping the power would be restored the next day. The next morning came and it was freezing in the house! 44 degrees upstairs, 54 degrees on the main floor. As we started getting ready, the power came on!! How excited we were to have this luxury back. Time to pack and get things ready for the trip!
We did make it without any hitches to Jamaica. The immigration line was horrendous, think everyone had the same idea we did. Once we got thru immigration, we had to find our bus to the hotel. The bus was full and role was taken to see what hotel everyone was going to. We would be the last ones to be dropped off.
The first hotel, yeah...I knew looking at it the kids were scared of where the heck we were going to be staying. I knew they were NOT impressed. The second and even possibly the third hotel, the kids weren't impressed either. So then came ours...YES! Jackpot! Very nice, very beautiful and everyone was excited including the kids! And they did admit they were scared of where we were staying, as like me, they have very high standards for vacations and hotels. We were not disappointed.
Once we got settled into our rooms, we went to dinner. Wonderful buffet! Of course, with the long day of travel, the girls showered and relaxed while the boys went to the game room for pool and beer. It was a very good night but even better waking up knowing we are in Jamaica!
