Jamaica: Day 1

This day was mainly spent traveling and settling in. We left early for the first flight to Miami (around 4:30 AM) and met up with the Martels and the Murphys.



Nolan and Lennon got reacquainted.



Katharine and Liam insisted on sitting together on the plane and worked on one of her art books.



Lukas sat next to me and checked out my DS. I was playing a Zelda game, and he was only interested in the intro movie that shows Link riding on a galleon style ship. Every time he sees a boat he shouts out “Captain Hook!”.



We connected to the Jamaica flight in Miami. Our circus procession consisted of 6 adults and 7 children (five and under). Liam and Katharine pave the way for us here.




Liam and Katharine sat together again on the Jamaica flight. I think that their apple juice must have started fermenting, because they got really silly.






Lukas sat with me again and fed me grapes (unfermented, alas), and then we played tug a war with his puppy using our teeth as the plane landed. That helped the ear popping a bit.

We landed and took a short bus trip to the resort. Liam and Katharine got a lei and all the kids were very excited; despite the rain.

We stayed at Half Moon resort. Check it out:

The crowds are small and the atmosphere is very quiet and peaceful (when we aren’t there J).

Our villa was beautiful. We had a nice view of the ocean, and a private pool.

Aiden and Lukas quickly became inseparable; bounding between putting their noses to the pool on one side of the villa to putting their noses to the ants in the garden on the other side. This was one of the more common sights around the house.
