While celebrating my best friend's wedding in St. Lucia, I found a little love of my own...
We arrived in the Hewanorra airport at 1:30pm on Wednesday and after traveling since 3:30am all I wanted was a dip in the pool and a nap. However, that's not what I got. The trip to the resort was grueling. It was way too hot for the jeans and sweater I was wearing (appropriate for April in New York City) and the roads were like driving along a Chinese paper fan. When we finally arrived after an hour we were greeted with the infamous Rum Punch and a gift beach bag from the Bride and Groom. It took us about two hours to check in, but once we took the shuttle bus up to our villa we arrived in heaven.
He was the most magnificent villa I'd ever seen! He welcomed the bridesmaids with open arms and promised to make our time together enjoyable. We opened the door to a beautiful spire of poured concrete stairs. That's always been my favorite accent of a building and upon going down the first flight, he opened up into a large kitchen and outdoor living room/dining room. I ran my hands along his smooth stucco walls as I descended the steps to the bedroom and immediately changed into my bathing suit.
While in St. Lucia for 5 nights, we didn't spend an exorbitant amount of time together, but we had some lovely breakfasts together on the veranda and we took some dips in the plunge pool a few times. The fact he overlooked the shore below and had lovely mango trees for shade was enough to make a girl want to stay forever.
The night of the wedding, everyone got to meet him as we lounged in the pool and enjoyed some light appetizers. It was nice that he was so accommodating and I will always remember the lovely time spent on the island in the sun.
