Jamaica: Days 5, 6 and 7

The rest of our time spent in Jamaica was filled with many trips to the beach, snorkeling, a ride on a catamaran, and enjoying amazing dinners. <br /><br />Oh, and photo shoots.  <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Jamaica: Day 4

I began my first full day as Mrs. Busbee with a mimosa!<br /><br />Since I woke up most days between 6:30 and 7 AM, I would retreat to the balcony and do some catching up online while Joel slept.  I had plenty of messages on Facebook to keep me occupied until 9 AM when our breakfast arrived.  We were entitled to one day of breakfast in bed (except really, on our balcony).  This is how it was delivered to us:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
