We arrived to Jamaica being told we were the "Culprits" after going through customs,  We immediately thought that either they also thought we were supposed to show up Thursday morning instead of Friday, or that there was an overbooking problem.  Fortunately we were the Culprits because the Hotel was providing us a trip to the resort via a special Cadillac ride rather than the usual taxi bus. 

These are pictures from the first day.  We arrived at the resort and were very impressed and tired.
