Wanderlust Wednesday.

Today's post is inspired by Michelle over at The Vintage Apple.  Michelle is currently "researching" destinations for her honeymoon.  And one inparticular that I've stayed at.  Couples {Tower Isle} in Ochos Rios, Jamaica.  I stayed at Couples about 10 years ago and it has been remodeled and looks fabulous!  I'd love to go back.  Bernie and I also spent the day in Ochos Rios about 4 years ago on a cruise and loved it too!  It's a wonderful place to vacation, have fun, and relax.  And bring a stack of books.  There's nothing better than laying on your beach chair watching the surf with a frosty beverage.  Complete with "little" umbrella.  A fabulous book and your honey. 

I do love Europe but, I must say there is something special about a beach vacation...

Alright, my bags are packed.  Ticket in hand.  Bern's in the car.  We are headed to the airport.  And we'll soon be on the white sandy beach...  Oh yes!

The Resort:  Couples - Tower Isle (they've remained and remodeled the resort since I've been there).

Romantic walks and dinners on the beach.

This is a magical island that was part of the resort.  And "yes" I spent a bunch of time there as well.

Every morning I would come to "this" beach.  Miss it!

An absolutely fabulous spread, every day. 
And each days food was themed and coordinated with the evenings entertainment.

One of the three pools.  My time was spent "entirely" at the beach or the island....

When I went this was an Italian restaurant.  A beautiful walk along the water to get there.

The staff is fantastic.

I spent plenty of breakfasts and lunches here.  And a fabluous view!



A great view front our room on the cruise ship.  Looking out to see while in the port of Ochos Rios.

Bernie and I had a ton of fun on our cruise.  We really enjoyed spending the day in Ochos Rios.  We actually spent the day "window shopping" and trying on jewelry.  It was a fun day!  And a very relaxing trip.  I hope Michelle and her soon-to-be hubby enjoy it as well (if they choose it).

Have a wonderful day!  I hope you enjoy my trip down memory lane... I did.
