It's been a brutal winter already, and we're so happy to be getting away from the mountains of snow. I just want to lay by the pool for 3 days straight, my body needs to thaw out!
It was a little tough finding a place to get away. We only wanted to go for a long weekend ( saving those vacation days for post-eggy) so a direct flight from Boston was critical. PR is perfect, 4 hours on a direct Jet Blue flight (yay for tv!) and we're there! We're staying at a new St Regis down there, which looks really nice.
More to come on the trip!

Beach palapas at St Regis - this will do for now... but pls come back in 5 mins to spritz me. |
UPDATE: so, this place is EXPENSIVE (maybe not for Ed's tastes, but for ours!). Rack rates are $1000+ / night! Fortunately, we used Starwood Points (LOVE this affinity program - by far the best) and are staying here for the bargain price of 20,000 pts per night. When we checked in, we were given champagne, and the butler is now coming over to our room to mix me a mojito and bring Lisa a chamomile tea! Why are we only staying here a few nights? Oh yeah, we went dry with our points!
We got here around 230PM today, and grabbed a quick lunch by the pool, and soaked up a few rays.

Beach in the background - Most of the guests stayed by the crazy nice pool, but the beach is so close too! |
Did I mention they have bocce ball here?! But they call is boules... there will definitely be a bocce/boule throwdown over the weekend...
UPDATE #2
We’re halfway through Babymoon, 2011, and we’re having a wonderful time down here! This morning, after a light breakfast on our balcony, we went kayaking for about an hour, where we saw lots of turtles/coconuts, iguanas (here Lizard, Lizard!) and golf holes. Richard was practically salivating watching the golfers out there, but the whole purpose of a babymoon is to spend time together, so he didn’t play (thanks Sweetie, I appreciate it!).

The afternoon was spent at the pool, where our lounging was interrupted a few times by sudden but brief rain showers. Its amazing how fast they swoop in and out, most only lasted for 5 minutes. In between, we managed to fit in a quick came of boule, but out of respect to Richard I can't tell you the outcome (only that it was practically a shut-out and he was not happy at the end of it!)
Once again, we are glad to hear you safely arrived in P.R.
