Central America Caribbean » Jamaica » Ocho Rios February 18th 2007

This was by far the best island of the trip.

My now husband, then fiance' took me to Jamaica to join he and his brother Mark as well as his girlfriend, now wife in Jamaica for some pure relaxation and some great fun. My husband hired a travel agent who booked our flight on Delta Airlines from Kansas City to Atlanta...and Atlanta to Montego Bay Jamaica.

The resident stated he was helping us by taking our bags to the shuttle. My husband then stated to him that ... read more
