Heather & Michael

A fully narrated and air-conditioned bus ride will whisk us away to the tranquility of Loterie Farm, a private nature reserve and historical site. From there, we will climb aboard an open-air safari truck for the ascent to Pic Paradis—St Maarten's highest point, nearly 1,500 feet above sea level. We will then begin a trek on foot into St Maarten’s only rain forest and hopefully encounter a few green monkeys, iguanas, or mongoose along the way. (..and, maybe, just maybe, Mike will let Heather bring home a monkey...fingers crossed!!)

We will explore the lush tropical beauty of St Lucia, driving to the Castries’, and the the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. We will then visit Caribelle Batik Silk Studios, located in an old Victorian mansion high atop Morne Fortune where we will be able to watch craftspeople demonstrate the art of batik and silk-screen printing. We will then continue to Pigeon Point and take in the breathtaking views over Martinique and Rodney Bay. We will finally end up in Reduit Beach for some fun in the sun, relaxation, and banana MARGARITAS!!! Yumalicious!

We'll enjoy a boat ride along the beautiful west coast of Barbados, gliding past pristine palm-fringed beaches, through the crystal-clear azure waters to your destination at Turtle Bay (it gets better!). We'll get our snorkel gear on and, then...it's time to swim with the turtles!!! After our turtle encounter, we stop at one of the nearby beaches for some fun in the sun.

In our Jeep, we will cross private land and drive through local rivers before entering a natural tropical rain forest. Here we will be in the midst of the luxuriant island vegetation, where we will then continue by road past valleys and mountains, and across bananas plantations. Our adventure finalizes at the picturesque Coeur Bouliki River.

After a relaxing drive through islands rainforest, this tour will take us to the residential cultural Carib Native community of Touna Aute, which is situated in Northeast Dominica. On our arrival at the village, the community leader and former Carib chief, will welcome us to their karbet (meeting house). We'll learn the history of community and the Carib people and then, afterwards, the Chief will invite us to visit the homes of the residents. At different homes we will participate in activities such as basket and bamboo weaving, sugar cane juice squeezing and learn to make cassava bread, which the Caribs have done for centuries. We will hear the secrets of their Natural medicine, which is still practiced, and the herbs used for healing. Touna means "water"—so we will go prepared to enjoy the beautiful crystal-clear river pools of one of Dominica’s 365 rivers. We will also get to visit the Warrior Village, a re-creation site with some of the huts used in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean II. Thinkin' Mike will get a kick out of the medicinal practices they have!!!

Can you say WOW!? Upon arriving to the Coral World Ocean Park, we will experience the other-worldly undersea environment through a sea trek helmet dive. We'll suit up with water shoes, gloves, and our sea trek helmet, which keeps our face and hair dry while providing air, weight and stability. As if we're moonwalking underwater, we'll trek around coral reefs and see their abundant marine life up close, 18-20 feet below the surface. When we eventually re-surface, we'll continue our adventure at Coral World Ocean Park where we'll see an amazing array of sea creatures in the Caribbean Reef Encounter.

In Half Moon Cay, Bahamas, on personal watercrafts, we will go to natural inner saltwater lagoons. Then, we'll depart travel along the picturesque shoreline of the island where we'll navigate around the natural reef formations, inlets, islands and sand spits. We'll also stop at the tidal outlet, the Indian village and at Stingray Cove.

We will indulge in a couple's massage, lying side-by-side, being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenating senses that will leave us refreshed and revitalized.

We will get rejuvenating facials helping us to look our best during our entire honeymoon. Our skin will receive a moisturizing and hydrating boost from the much heralded Padina Pavonica, a precious Algae that is embellished with anti-aging properties (oh yes!). As indulgent as it is effective, the Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Facial utilizes specialized micro-circulatory massage techniques which are combined with powerful formulations and an active mask to help smooth, sculpt and restore skin radiance. We will be young forever...oh yeah baby!

We'll start our bon voyage celebration, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and sail away in style with a bottle of champagne, toasting our new lives together. We'll then enjoy dinner at one of the ships best restaurants, the Pinnacle Grill, where we'll take a memorable 10x7" photo and finish the evening with a basket of chocolate covered strawberries (oh, yum!)

A dozen luxurious chocolate dipped strawberries will await us, in our stateroom, upon arrival...yum!

We will have dinner on our private balcony at sunset, while taking in the tropical afternoon views while the water passes us by.

During our cruise, and this will only take place on March 19th, one of the ships best restaurants is transformed into the legendary Le Cirque of New York City. Ranked among the best restaurants in the world by food experts, and famous for its celebrity clientele, Le Cirque brings its French Continental Cuisine to guests who desire an evening of unique celebration.

A romantic Venetian-style Italian dinner for two at the Canaletto Restaurant aboard our ship by candlelight!!

With your wedding gift, we'll toast to a round or two on you. Cheers!

For each momentous occasion that we experience together, and from each trip we take, we collect a Christmas ornament for our tree. For this special moment, we will have picked out a "Just Married" ornament from Lenox! Every single time we hang it, it will bring back the fondest memories of one of our sweetest days together.

A cherished honeymoon pic of of us on our cruise!

An 8"x11" Shutterfly hard-cover photo book for our honeymoon photos in remembrance of our Southern Caribbean adventures.

When we travel to our beautiful honeymoon destination, we will need of passport holders...the "Mr. & Mrs." ones are what we're going for. We will also need travel wallets that will fit underneath our clothing for security.

We cannot wait to see what moments get captured at our celebration and need frames to display them all around our house.

This camera will allow us to capture even the most elusive marine life during our underwater adventures!! We are very much looking forward to the pics that we take on our "Walk on the Bottom of the Ocean" expedition!!!
