Long story short - Mr. B and I planned on going to Australia for our honeymoon. He has a lot of Delta Skymiles and Marriott points, making what would normally be an unreasonable dream a bit more reasonable. We wanted to go for two weeks to really get the most out of our long journey. Unfortunately, circumstances have created a situation where taking two weeks off right after our wedding will not work. We didn't want to postpone our honeymoon, though, so this past Saturday night we realized we needed a new plan. It took three days and an unreasonable amount of time on TripAdvisor but what we were left with is perfect.
That, my friends, is Scrub Island-a small island oasis just off Tortola in the British Virgin Islands.
We will spend two nights in a gorgeous oceanfront suite, just soaking up the rays, getting massages, and unwinding from life.
From there we will head two the Ritz-Carlton in St. Thomas for a bit more action.
We are staying in an oceanfront suite that will (hopefully) look like this:
We plan on relaxing a bit more but also seeing some sights and exploring St. Thomas. Any suggestions on what to do while we are there?
The only negative about the situation is how you get to Scrub Island. Here is what the Monday after our wedding will look like:
7:45AM - Fly from Savannah to Atlanta
10:00 AM - Fly from Atlanta to St. Thomas
Cab from St. Thomas Airport to ferry station
Ferry from St. Thomas to Tortola
Cab from Tortola ferry station to private dock
Private boat (provided by resort) to Scrub Island
(Insert cocktail here)
Eek, just looking at that makes me a little anxious. I know it will all be worth it, though! So there we have it! Has anyone else been to Scrub Island? St. Thomas? Suggestions?
