hey everybody

jason hutcherson - Thursday, September 4, 2008 - 10:07pm

just got back a few days ago from the honeymoon from hell! we're still crazy about each other, but i'll just say that the trip was terrible. we stayed at one of those all-inclusive resorts down in jamaica and the brochures and website all told big big lies about what we were supposed to be getting. i'm not going to come out and say exactly which company this was for the sake of staying out of legal trouble so let's call them "flip-flops" at "eight rivers".

we expected private and romantic and got something akin to MTV spring break for adults! and then there was gustav! we were never in any actual danger, just stuck in the hotel for the last three days. with lots of people, cheeseburgers, booze, and booty shakin' music. seriously guys there was even a wet t-shirt contest, which under any other circumstances would have been a hoot but i was there with my new wife and some of the contestants were past there prime. about four kids past their prime.

anyway we're back, we're safe, and u.s. air found our luggage.

i think our next vacation will involve a pop-up camper!

Hey Jason,

Glad to hear your back safe and sound! Congrats to you and the wife! Sounds like you were in the middle of a big party, but understandably not the sort of vacation honeymoon you want to endure. I'm sure the two of you will have plenty of time to make for lost time =)

Cheers!

Congrats on the wedding Jason! Sorry to hear about the bad honeymoon. I'm always a bit leery of those all inclusive packages, although until now I've never had any actual reason. They always just seem to good to be true. Hopefully you and your new wife will get a chance for another get away soon.

Jason,
Congrats on getting married. Sorry to here that you did not like the flip flop resorts. I have stayed at them twice. One was the little small one at one end of the island that was kind of boring because the beach was across the road. But very quite and excellent food. Easy walking distance of the local shops where you can catch a contact buzz from the merchants smoking pot. The other was clear at the other end of the island by the falls area. Much better and okay.
Sounds like you stayed at the large resort in the center. Yeah that one is kind of the party scene.
I think maybe if Gustov wasn't there you could of had a better time. Snorkeling in the morning and site seeing tours in the afternoon. Oh well I finally made through all of the 64 different rum drinks in the little cabanas.

thanks everybody there will

thanks everybody

there will be stories to tell about this stupid adventure once the sting of getting screwed out of a couple thousand dollars goes away.

an entertaining addition, the pop-up camper started out as sort of a joke with my sweetie but earlier today i caught her looking for used ones on craigslist. not only are they nicer than they used to be, but cheaper than i thought as well. new ones can be had for under $15k with bathrooms ac/heat and hot water. i had no idea.
