You may or may not have noticed that I disappeared. That is because I have been in the Black Hole of Honeymoon Planning.
As the name suggests, the Black Hole of Honeymoon Planning is a dark and treacherous place. There were points over the past week when I couldn’t remember my name or why I was researching that resort in Djibouti. Also, I literally got a burn on my thighs from my laptop. (Note to self: Change into pants before entering Black Holes.)
But now, dear friends, I can happily say The Scientist and I have chosen a country AND booked our suites! We’re going to…
ST. LUCIA!!!!! (cheering and applause)
We’ll be there for the last 8 days in December and I couldn’t possibly be more excited about it.
THE ITINERARY:
- December 22: Fly to Miami — Spend one night somewhere.
- December 23: Fly to St. Lucia — Spend first 3 nights at the Villa Beach Cottages in a 1-bedroom suite that opens up onto a perfectly white beach. We chose this so we could experience the beaches, nightlife, and amazing restaurants on the northern part of the island.
- December 26: Check into the Ladera Resort and spend the next 5 nights in a 3-wall, open-air suite overlooking the ocean and mountains. And yes, it has a private plunge pool. Swoon! Spas, hot springs, volcano tours, and private, secluded, black-sand beaches are on the agenda.
- December 31: Check out and cry all the way to the airport.
Now that we have the most important parts planned out, I think I can get back to blogging reality. But first I need a manicure. And burn cream. And a Pacemaker.

That’s going to be AMAZING! Sounds like it’s totally worth the laptop burn. So jealous.
Yay! Thank you! I had to book something good to make up for my disappointment when I couldn’t find the chevron contact paper at TJ Maxx :( They were all out!
Well I’m sure some time in St Lucia will make up for the Chevron paper woes! :)
So incredibly jealous! As always, I live vicariously through you. ;-)
:D
OMFG. Awesome.
Hooray! Thanks!
I am not even married. But I do think that my wedding planning will start with honeymoon planning. Seems like the big treat at the end of it all ;) Looks gorgeous - think you have ended up making the right choice.
Thank you! I highly recommend focusing all efforts on the honeymoon. I think it’s the most important part, after the actual vows ;)
Holy hotel room! I want to go too! This looks AMAZING! I hope you take lots of pictures for us back home and have a fantastic time. :-)
Oh YAY! I’m SO EXCITED for that crazy open-air room. I’ll definitely take lots of photos :D
awesome, awesome… awesome! :-)
Thank you! I wish you two could come along with us and photograph the whole thing! ;)
We just went and looked at all the photos on the websites, fantastic! I especially love the porch swing over the pool, so you can sit and swing and put your feet in the water… …
SO HAPPY for you! : )
Yay!
Stupendoooo!!!!
Grazie! :D
