Was This A Dream?

I can't believe we've been married 10 years! To celebrate, Courtney and I were able to take an incredible trip to the Caribbean. We stayed in St. Lucia for 6 nights, and then went to St. Vincent for 3 nights. It was absolutely beautiful! We felt like we were in a dream the whole time. But, since our pictures match the memories in our minds, I guess it must have really happened!
We left January 14th, and spent all day getting to St. Lucia. When we finally got in at almost midnight, it was so fun to step off the plane and smell the tropical air. It was so warm and brought back so many memories of when I lived in Hawaii. We had found a great deal on a all-inclusive resort in a secluded area in St. Lucia, and so we had about an hour and half taxi ride to get there. This was interesting! The roads there are crazy! Very steep and windy- almost every corner had a 15% grade sign, along with another sign that said "Hairpin turn". The steering wheel is on the opposite side of the van, and they drive on the opposite side of the road. Except when they feel like moving to the other side, which seemed like quite often! We finally asked the taxi driver if there are a lot of driving laws (it didn't feel like it to us!), and he said that the sheriff pretty well leaves them alone unless they cause an accident. That's comforting, eh? We finally made it to the resort, although a bit carsick! We felt like we'd just been on an exciting ride at Disneyland!
When we got there, we found out we'd been upgraded to this very fancy, exclusive resort. (Very out of our budget!) We couldn't believe our luck! They had a personal "room attendant" waiting for us, who totally took care of our luggage and never allowed us to lift a finger. Anyway, this is pretty well where the "Am I in a dream?" feelings began to set in. . . .
This is what we woke up to the next morning! This picture was taken from our room. This is the actual view from our bed. Our room (they call them "sanctuaries") was almost 900 square feet, and was actually missing the 4th wall, so the entire length of our room was open to the ocean and Piton mountains. It was incredible. Birds actually flew in and out of our room! Although they would bring us anything we wanted to our room, we did manage to drag ourselves to the beach everyday. As you can see, it was pure torture!
We had a beach attendant who would spread our towels out for us. Once we were settled, we had a yellow flag that we could stick into the sand in case we needed a drink, food, or milk shake. Sometimes they even brought us mint towels to refresh with, and sprayed us down with a mint mist. The beach attendant called this "spraying happiness".
This picture is of us at our candlelight dinner on the beach. Seriously, is this trip for real?
