From Sam's perspective

WHAT A DAY!!! Lizzie is tied up right now and asked me to write about our adventure today.  It was beyond amazing!  Today was like living in a movie, or having a real life like dream, because it truly was.  The day started out with very little sleep from the night before, but because Lizzie is the most generous person i know, she got up early and took her roommates (crazy awesome girls) to work).  We then went to Sapphire beach and got a sweet deal on a jet ski trip.  We each had our own and just ripped up the ocean on these new, powerful jet skis.  The people here are so laid back and just seem so trusting.  They pretty much just gave us life jackets and told us to have fun.  And that's just what we did!  We even both fell of the jet skies to make the adventure complete.  Lizzie unfortunately lost her "pink" sunglasses in the process so we'll have to get her some new ones.  The adventure from the ocean on something so fun was just the way to start off a wonderful sharing time with someone so amazing fun.  We were able to see many of her favorite beaches and places from the view of the sea.  We were also blessed to just sit and visit on a picture perfect beach and play a bit in the water.  

We then changed gears and traveled the island by car, and by the way... they drive on the wrong side of the road.  It is still very odd to see cars zooming by on the right side and intersections are still just a trip.  The sights here are like none other.  The lifestyle is just fitting for what is seen.  I am very excited for Lizzie to be here and at the same time, very envious.  She took me to many of the down town shops and let me met many of her friends.  She is the talk of the island.  Everyone knows her and loves her here.  I even saw the pink diamond ring that she loves.  It's even better in real life.  

We then met up with the girls (roommates) again and headed to another beach and went snorkeling.  Holy shootskies... that is something everyone must do before they leave this earth!  Life is always better, down where its wetter, under the sea. :)  I saw a turtle even and a star fish!  We finished the night with an amazing pizza, oh and the crazy girls went and did their full moon party again tonight.  Lizzie will have to post something about that another time, i obviously didn't participate. haha. 

Its been a day in paradise!  Its not quite over yet either, time to watch a movie and maybe get a little sleep.  However, sleep might be a little unnecessary for such an adventure as the one we just started; we'll see.  I love being here.  It so amazingly fun with Lizzie!  We're having a blast.  I'm sure she'll fill you in on what I've missed.  Glad to be able to throw my two cents in on this amazing day.

You two are having way too much fun. It sounds amazing. I'm glad you are enjoying it, Sam. I think you both should write your blog every day you are there--fun to hear both perspectives. I can hardly wait to read about today's adventures, even though I have had a sneak peak of some of them :( I guess we have to "hand" it to Lizzie to come up with a twist on the vacation plans. But, knowing her, it won't slow you two down at all.
