A few weeks ago, Christian and I took the Jet Blue inaugural flight out of JFK to Antigua and Barbudo. Unsure what to expect, we boarded the plane with samba dancers waving us goodbye from the gate and a massive hose giving our plane its ceremonial spray.  Having believed we could run on empty, we were slightly delirious but couldn't wait to embark on our very first holiday together.  By the way, I've now made a note to get a very good night's sleep, even for the early flights, just in case I'm documenting the "very first" of something.  I digress.  Four hours and some later, we pulled up in a boat to and were greeted by the most hospitable and adorable Melinda from Jumby Bay, and our journey began as we embraced an island filled with rich history and divine beauty.
