The aftermath of hurricane Joaquin followed me to Jamaica starting things out a little rough! My 3 hr 50 min direct flight turned into almost a 5 hr direct flight so we could fly around it! Having an amazing flight crew helped! We made a giant Southwest Birthday cake, all the brides & grooms to be got veils and crowns made out of peanut bags & napkins, extra snacks for all, did air exercises that really turned into cleaning out back seat pockets for garbage but was a good laugh! And our pilot, WOW, I didn’t feel the wheels touch the ground when we landed #HeGotAHighFive
Customs/Immigration was a breeze in part due to our late arrival and with the new kiosks I cleared that bad boy in less then 30 minutes (woohoo)!! Something tells me this will not be the case when I return in December (wink wink Club Mobay)! My transfer to property was immediately ready, thanks to Perry our awesome tour guide/driver, we had a beautiful smooth ride with 2 awesome honeymooning couples (1 of the couples from Australia, over 20 hrs in flights to get to MBJ made my flight look not so bad)!
Upon arrival at the resort, I was greeted by the GM and Sales Managers smile emoticonEveryone in Club Sandals was like who is that girl and I’ll tell ya, this trip I was a photographer, nurse, school teacher, hehehe!!! Then off to see my gorgeous and gigantic room which could have easily slept 8 comfortably! Then I headed to the beach and I have to say in all of my travels to Jamaica I have never experienced weather like this, strong winds (to the point I was actually a little chilly), the beautiful calm caribbean sea was no where to be seen, wish I had a surf board (or could surf for that matter) because those waves were no joke! And then there on the sand, the demon haunting the caribbean in abundance had finally showed its ugly, smelly face in Jamaica- SEAWEED!
But it did not stay for long due to the top notch GM at Beaches! He was right out there with his staff clearing the beach for guests to enjoy. The next morning I woke up at 5 am (not sure why but I can’t sleep in the caribbean, afraid I will miss something, lol), so I head straight to the beach and there the GM is again, helping clean that beach! In between all of that he was hosting myself and 2 other agents! And he is the social media king, Facebook, twitter, instagram but I gave him a run for his money 🙂 I truly am not sure when this guy sleeps but by the end of day 3 his efforts had paid off, the weather calmed and the beach was back to its beautiful self!
Sorry for the long post! So grateful to Mr. Whitehead and his team for their hospitality! I swear Jamaica gets more beautiful with each visit! More to come and tons of beautiful pictures to go through! And a BIG thank you to my clients for their patience and understanding when I travel! Also, my mom for helping with my babies and doggies!!!
