Most of you have already heard by now about the adventures we had on our honeymoon, but I figured I'd post it to make it official. We had a 2 part honeymoon starting with a 9 day cruise out of Brooklyn, NY that went to San Juan, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Turks & Caicos (in that order). We hated San Juan, loved St. Maarten, St. Thomas/St. John was nice but our excursion in St. John was horrible, and we loved Turks & Caicos. So, what is it they say, "two out of three aint bad"? Well, the bad included a ship that was extremely overcrowded and understaffed, an excursion at El Yunque Rainforest in San Juan that had the tour bus leave us at the top of the mountain to fend for ourselves, and an excursion in St. John that was labled as a mild hike and beach visit that was actually a rocky, hilly, long hike and 7 minutes on the beach! BUT, it's the memories that count, the way Carmine and I can simply say the name of our cabin steward and crack up, the way we both can picture the bus driver who left us like one recalls the boogey man from childhood, and the way watching the video or seeing the pictures of me in flip flops on the "mild" eco hike has our sides hurting from laughing so hard! In between the bad, we had GREAT food, lots of time together as husband and wife, and movies under the stars. 
Then it was off to part 2 of our honeymoon, Newport, Rhode Island. Neither of us had ever been, we did it all, not only toured the mansions but walked to each of them! Walked the Cliff Walk. Walked through town. Notice the pattern? Yes, we enjoyed it, but we couldn't help but ask ourselves as our legs and feet were aching, why we didn't just do an all inclusive and veg out on a beach??? But, then I guess we wouldn't have all the great pictures....
Honestly, I guess we just expected a little more special treatment and a little more free stuff!
