July 23, 2010

We've received an incredible 7-day Caribbean cruise honeymoon as a wedding gift, and we are so excited. We've never been on a cruise, we've never been to this part of the world... and to be honest, we didn't think we'd be able to go on a honeymoon right away. This will be an incredibly fun and relaxing trip for us, a nice finale to the wedding fun, and a great finish to the summer in general. We'll be setting sail from Fort Lauderdale aboard Princess Cruises, and spending a day on many fun islands... Princess Cays, in the Bahamas, is Princess Cruise Line's private resort set up for shore excursion fun. That's the first stop. After that, onto St. Maarten's, St. Thomas and Grand Turk, part of the Caicos Islands. We're looking forward to relaxing on white sand beaches, snorkeling in clear waters, enjoying the spa onboard the ship, and sipping piƱa coladas, knowing we're stuck with each other for eternity... and that that's a good thing!

We created this registry, because, yeah, sure, we DO need nice towels and new sheets and all sorts of kitchen gadgets, but we know for some people those things aren't the most fun to give as gifts. Neither one of us has ever given a traditional wedding gift to anyone in our lives, probably. (Apologies to any of our married friends who received strange wedding gifts from us!) This is a way you can be a part of our honeymoon, without having to rub sunscreen on Jason's back or wait for Gina to finish doing her hair before going to dinner. We've set up shore excursions on the islands and spa days onboard as well as some other fun things here and there, and you can sponsor whatever you'd like. We'll be sure to send you photos of us doing whatever you sponsor (whether you like it or not)!

Thanks for checking out our honeymoon registry, and we'll see you July 23!

Pina coladas and a beach barbeque at Princess Cays in the Bahamas!

Clamshell rental at Princess Cays. Gives us shade on the beach and reserved lounge chairs. It'll be only 2 days after the wedding, so we'll need to max and relax!

While at Princess Cays in the Bahamas, we'll rent glass bottomed floats so we can lounge in the water and check out the sealife below! (We heard the water MIGHT be clearer than home on L.A.'s beaches...)

The Verna Grimm Memorial Gift Option... In memory of Gina's grandma, we're going bargain hunting! Duty free shopping is all the rage in the Caribbean, and that sounds good to us.

On St. Maarten, we're going Rhino Riding! Actually, a Rhino Rider is a two-man inflatable motorboat. Sounds... dangerous. But you all will be safely home in your beds, not running screaming up the beach, like the poor people of St. Maarten.

On Grand Turk, we're going snorkeling to explore their incredible coral reefs. But we're lazy. So we're using the help of really cool underwater power scooters to help us motor around and explore.
Gift Fulfilled
Underwater camera for our snorkeling adventures. If we find Nemo, y'all are gonna want to see him, too.
Gift Fulfilled
Lunch on Grand Turk... they're known for conch, and we'll hit a local restaurant to check out the delicacy.

We don't know what we're doing on St. Thomas! Suggestions? Have you been? What should we do?

Our ship has movies on the pool deck every night under the stars! We'll be regulars. Help us toast our new marriage with a little bubbly (champagne for Gina, Coca Cola Classic for Jason), while we watch movies under the starry skies.

Jason's gambling money... Yes, there's a casino onboard the ship! (No word yet if there are Cleopatra slot machines though...)

Hotels room in Ft. Lauderdale. Yep, it takes so long to fly to Florida from L.A. that we have to leave a day earlier and come back later as well. But honestly? Two more nights in a hotel? Twist our arms...
