Names: Anne-Marie and Nathan

Ages: 46 and 45 (did i just admit that. the oldest so far on this thread, which is making me quite depressed as, when i am not thinking, i imagine i am still in my late 20's and its only when i am reminded like with details like this that i have to face facts - i aint that young no more).

How many times to CSA: This is our 2nd time. we got married at CSA in 2008

Trip dates: 2 weeks - (from the 18th June - 2nd July)

Room type: Booked the Garden Verandah (still undecided as to whether to upgrade the room to ocean verandah or use that money to upgrade our flight. tough decision but only one will win).

Reason for trip[/B]:

To recapture that 'connectedness'with my sweetheart, to chill (on the beach, in the bar, at the restaurant, on the catamaran, in my mind), to dance and try to recreate the rythm i use to have and still believe is still there SOMEWHERE, to eat all day/every day if possible the jerk chicken, the wonderful salads, the delicious fresh fruit, the ackee and saltfish, the breakfast delights that start off the day perfectly (sausage, bacon, fruit juice, toast, eggs, coffee etc) and to tickle my taste buds i want to sample the many culnary delights in the Palms, Lemongrass etc, to execise (aerobics, yoga and squash) to burn off any excess weight that want to spring up over my body, to drink the beautiful cocktails that the bartenders so brilliantly concoct, to gaze under the stars watching the sunset, to laugh and enjoy the company of others we may meet, to dip my feet in the beautiful ocean and lay on the soft sand dreaming of the paradise im in and finally, to wish the time to go as slowly as possible so that we can savour every minute of our time away at CSA

Where you from: Not so sunny London, England. Chingford to be precise.

What you're looking forward to most: All of the above and not having to go to work for those two weeks.


Drink you're looking forward to: Every cocktail the bartender makes i love. honest - i do not have a drink problem. there is this blue cocktail but i cannot remember the name but its lovely. Also love Baileys - just before i go to bed. (dont know why i like it - i only drink it when i am in Jamaica).

Kids: 1 beautiful daughter who is 26 years old and who still cries every time i go away on holiday cause she misses me so much. ahh!!!

Pets: i have a dog called Rio (as in Brazil) who is 4 years old. she is a staffordshire Bull terrier. everyone, even visitors who hates dogs, ends up loving her. she is so loving, gentle and intelligent. whenever we return back from Jamaica, she drags her bed up to our bedroom and insists on sleeping there. after about two weeks when she feels more secure, she moves her bed back downstairs. she is so smart, she even wipes her paws when she comes in from the rain.

Level of excitement; guys - its off the rictorscale.

Our pic: i have got to figure out how to do this picture on email stuff. i am purchasing a camcord so i can replay the fun times i KNOW we are going to have, again and again and again......

by my calculations, which i hope is correct - we have 80 days until we fly. WOOPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
