Jamaica Travel Blogs

Background: Jamaica gained full independence within the British Commonwealth in 1962. Deteriorating economic conditions during the 1970s led to recurrent violence and a drop off in tourism. Elections in 1980 saw the democratic socialists voted out of office. Political violence marred elections during the 1990s.

3. On your first day in Montego Bay, Jamaica, find your way out of the resort area since it just sucks. Let your traveling duo be approached by a fellow, who only seems to want to show you that he excels in questioning you on where are you from, what do you do, and what is your name, blaah, blaah, blaah. Half an hour later, as the guy gets more and more tedious by the minute, exchange a few words in Finnish with your friend and decide to ditch the bore. Next, learn that labeling this dude dull was a serious [View Full Entry]

I have less than two weeks before our trip to Jamaica and I can't wait. Everyday I imagine myself sipping pina coladas on the beach, basking in the golden Jamaican sun and splashing around in the crystal blue 7 mile beach water. We are staying at my favorite resort of all time, Couples Negril. OK, I admit this is my 8th trip to Jamaica. I've been a lot of places in this world, but Negril - Jamaica is still my favorite. Couples Negril is all about relaxation and romance. I'm eagerly awaiting our his/her couples massage. I usually pay for an [View Full Entry]

I realized we had not taken a picture of the main dining area.
Well, the last day of vacation... sometimes not the best because as they say, 're-entry sucks'. This was not the case here. I can say that this was a very relaxing vacation, and the last day was a very pleasant good bye to Jamaica. We had fun, we were relaxed, and ready to go home. It was the perfect length of time. We had our last breakfast, and today, instead of heading for the beach to play when done, we headed to meet with our shuttle to the airport at Montego Bay for a 9:00 departure, for a 11:30 airport arrival.

Everyone is on board, ready to go. Except of course the folks that decided to come late. They didn't get to go on this trip.
Also known as Day Last in Jamaica. Tomorrow is our last day, but that day will be filled with travel, from the time we get up, to the time we land, will be a full day, so I can't really say that tomorrow is going to be 'in Jamaica'. Today we ate, and went on the daily activity of relaxing by the beach. Boys played in the sand, mom and dad took another snorkeling trip, and one more sail on the Hobie with Gregory, the chief on the beach water sports. He took us on a good 30 minute sail yesterday, [View Full Entry]

The dock, the beach loungers, not crowded because it is early. We've seen two weddings on the beach so far.
Day 4 - In Jamaica. Today, we thought we would let the kids enjoy camp, where they do activities like tie-dying a shirt, snorkeling, ride in the glass-bottomed boat, all while mom and dad enjoy the sun and beach, and take in some other activites that kids would not enjoy. We all got a 50 minute massage. It was a couples thing. These seem to be enough weddings around here that they put two massage tables in one room, they work you over, and you are very relaxed. They leave, you put your robe back on, then they bring you some [View Full Entry]

Day 3 is done. We slept until we woke up as we have done so far on the trip. Isn't that what vacations are for? Not to hurry, hurry on some silly schedule. We got up, made coffee in the room, had a couple of cups (can't get more than that out of this two cup pot), and then dressed for the day. Let's see, maybe we could wear swim suits today, you think? Have swim suits for each day except the days we are traveling (3 suits for 5 days). You wouldn't want everyone to see you in the same [View Full Entry]

No, not from our room, but on the way to breakfast. It is beautiful
Well, this is the blog of the results of day one actually. The first day was getting here. This is the first day of doing things here. Up early, went to breakfast, planned the day. Let's see, how about we go to the beach? Maybe play in the water, talk to the tourist hustlers selling trinkets, ride a catamaran, a kayak. Swim in the pool, slide down slides, big slides, long slides, get tired, lock our selves out of the room, and fun things like that. No pictures of locking our selves out of the room. Hard to believe isn't it. [View Full Entry]

To say it was a long day is an understatement. Early up, so you can wait in lines. In Houston, no problem. Made it through security, got to the gate, and waited for boarding. After we got on board, before take off, someone got sick (rhymes with arf) and we had mechanical delay. Something about gas tank gauge not reading full. Then off to Jamaica. Capt. and flight crew did a great job of flying, and landing. They were not informed as to how customs processed arrivals however. They passed out the Jamaican forms, and clearly said "one per family. up [View Full Entry]
