| Travelogue Discovered my darling, my diamond, and my dear sweet Tobago |
Breakfast in Bed
The day began with breakfast in bed at our seaside hotel. Nothing-unusual there. There was no hint, as yet, that our weekend in Tobago was about to turn into a very romantic beach vacation.
We ate, dressed, and lazily made our way down to the beach. Once there, I settled into a comfortable beach chair and began working on my tan.
Romantic Coastal Cruise
The next thing I knew, my boyfriend was telling me that he had arranged a little island cruise for us, and that our boat, CocoMotion, had arrived. True enough a sleek powerboat was drifting just beyond the gentle surf.
Within moments, we were on board and streaking along the coastline, stopping to investigate beautiful Tobago beaches along the way. Suddenly, as we moved into deeper water, I noticed a small sandy island in front of us, complete with a beach umbrella, towels and a cooler.
I Adore Surprises
My prince charming smiled, this romantic, beach-vacation picnic had been arranged just for the two of us. Reportedly, I got all giggly about then, but that's just what he says.
Finally, seated on our own private Caribbean island, my prince charming popped the cork on a bottle of champagne and poured us each a glass. With the flick of his wrist and the dexterity of a magician, he produced a well chosen diamond ring and proposed. You guessed it; I said yes, misty eyes and all.
Candlelight Dinner
They say good things come in threes, and I agree totally. My third surprise was the best. No, there wasn't any candlelight at our engagement, just sparkling sunshine, white sand and aquamarine sea, but you can bet the candlelight came later, at dinner. Actually, it's a bit of a blur. I am not sure if the twinkling lights on that Caribbean evening, were stars or the candlelight reflecting off my engagement ring.
The Perfect Setting
Planning a surprise proposal, a romantic beach wedding or a Caribbean honeymoon?
Tobago is the perfect location for every type of romantic beach vacation and family get-away. The people are very laid-back, yet friendly and accommodating, which makes it so easy to pull together all those special arrangements that make Trinidad and Tobago vacations memorable. Thanks to the captain of CocoMotion, who doubled as our photographer, our engagement was captured on film for friends and family back home. Our perfect day was flawlessly planned and packed with astonishing memories.
