Central America Caribbean » Jamaica » Montego Bay December 30th 2010

Once again we set off through the countryside of Jamaica, this time venture to Negril. We passed thru towns full of people, shack like stands and pretty little homes. After shopping we went to the famous Rick's Cafe to watch the cliff divers and ended the evening with a Jamaican dinner. The next day we left the Whitehouse resort to travel to Montego Bay for the remainder of our time here. After visiting the hip strip, and meeting at Margaritiaville for the daring slide we went for a swim with unusual friends--- dolphins! We learned about the dolphins and tested their strength as they swam around us jumped and flapped their tails. Of course we got a kiss and petted their bellied before they waved good bye to us with their tails. Our trip is drawing ... read more

Resort Days! Xmas day began with the sounds of a caroling choir and wonderful buffet breakfast . Santa arrived by boat and we all lined up for the photo op. He even gave out gifts, we each received Sandals brand plates. Since we hadnt yet explored our 2 miles of resort beach, we spent the day wandering the grounds, swimming in various pools and hot tubs, eating and drinking in all the stands and restaurants. At sunset we gathered at the Dutch beach for a photo shoot , sunburnt and beat we ended our excursion there in time for the Xmas caroling at the piazza . After dinner we were treated to a musical act reminiscent of the all girl groups from the past that sang everything from the Motown to Lady Gaga. For the day ... read more

A quick 3 hours flight got us here to paradise. Old school was the name of the game on our AA flight. We had the window and the middle seat but next to us was a man , late 60's I supose dressed in a suit , tie and hat and sat politely in his seat with his overcoat in his lap never removing his hat. On arrival we boarded a bus to our destination Sandals whitehouse. The 1-1 1/2 hour drive quickly turned to 2 . But enroute we passed many houses ,some big, some small and all brightly painted. Some grand, some crumbling , however all one next to another with little difference between rich and poor. After meeting our friends we settled on a seafood dinner at the resort and ended our evening ... read more
