"Yeah Man"

Our honeymoon was spent in Mont ego Bay Jamaica. It was paradise there. When first arriving to Jamaica I was in scardy cat mode. Of course Martin, made me seem like I was overacting to the situation. After going through customs we had to find out way to the hotel. Once finding a reputable transportation company we were escorted (by a maintenance man) to an unmarked bus. We were the only ones on it. The man then asked Martin for a tip and shut the door behind him. That's when i went into panic mode. Here we are, in a foreign land on an unmarked bus, possibly locked in, and Martin just tipped the man for our MURDER! Luckily though, the man turned out legit and got us to our resort alive.

We spent 7 days in paradise. Our hotel was all inclusive so of course we weren't going to leave. After awhile though we found ourselves in cabin fever so we decided to do an excursion. WELL, my idea of an excursion is relaxing on a beach after snorkeling. Martin's idea has to do with more extreme scenarios. We were told that while in Jamaica we had to go to Dunn's River Falls. It is a 961 foot water fall that is a must to do while there. So we found an excursion that would take us snorkeling (I wanted to do) and to the falls. So I agreed to it. The morning of Martin kept asking me if I was sure I was going to be able to climb the falls. I found this such an odd question. I mean how hard could it be going up the stairs of the side of a water fall?  When arriving to the falls I was in complete awe. The place was beautiful. Our guide told us to make sure all of our strings were snug on our bathing suit. So this is where I started to ask questions... Why? arent we just going up the stairs? Is the water that powerful on the stairs? Then he had us hold hands and told us that this is the safest way up the falls. I then start freaking! How steep is this thing? How many stairs are we climbing? Martin must have asked me a million times if I was sure I was going to be okay. I then realized shortly why he continued to ask me this. We did not go up the stairs, we went on the rocks in the gushing waters of the actual waterfall!!!! I am happy to say that we both made up to the top!





We tried to stay longer in Jamaica but sadly we have furniture arriving at the house in Georgia, and we had to get back. We are tired but glad to be home.
