our happily forever after: Booked. Paid. Honeymoon.

So, this is my first casual blog post ever. Bear with me. After about two weeks of searching ALL over the caribbean for a honeymoon spot, and within our budget, we finally found the perfect resort. Affordable. Beautiful (as you can see below). And All-Inclusive.

We will be heading to the Punta Cana district of the Dominican Republic and staying at the Majestic Elegance from August 19-25. Now we just have to wait 131 days. Oh, and we leave at 6:10 a.m. on the 19th... so those of you that know me, that shouldn't be any problem at all.

Who would have thought booking a honeymoon could be so tedious? We decided not to go through a travel agency and do this on our own, which may or may not have made a difference in the time spent searching. Knowing us, and our inability to make decisions (mostly mine), it wouldn't have mattered. But I feel 100% confident we found the right place for us.

We are staying in the "Adults Only" section of the resort, or known as the "Elegance Club". I know, right? High class. We actually just wanted it to be as intimate as possible for both of us, and the pricing really wasn't much of a difference. Plus, we get four extra bars, a private beach area, 24-hour room service, butler service (again, I know, right?). The list goes on.

In addition, the lagoon-style pool (above) ... it's 400 meters long. FOUR. HUNDRED. METERS. That's equal to a quarter-mile for those of you calculating at home. And I'm swimming the whole thing. Maybe. Probably not.

Well, I don't want this thing to get super long but as you can tell, I'm really excited about it. I haven't been to the caribbean since a family cruise when I was maybe 15 years old, and I'm really just looking forward to spending a week alone with the love of my life, free of interruption. I hope she is too. Because it's going to be the trip of a lifetime!

Finally, one more photo. This is a photo (below) of the room we reserved. You can see there is a jacuzzi over in the back right corner there as well. Of course, because we're on our honeymoon, the resort is supposed to be upgrading our room for free, based on availability, so this could very well not be the room we stay in.
