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 http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-422820.html Well the last day of vacation... sometimes not the best because as they say 'reentry 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.

The most beautiful place in the caribbean. I have been 3 or 4 places too. Nicest people and the parties are the best. I stayed at an all inclusive right on Doctors Cave Beach in Montego Bay. http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-372385.html Christmas in the sand Wow this is so cool or hot rather... We decided to spend Xmas day with the birds hummingbirds that is . We call our Rastaman driver and headed to the hills to a bird sancturay. He was excited because he hadnt had a chance yet to bring any tourists there and had been wanting to go himself. We arrived at the old house and was greeted by the caretaker. The woman who had orgin http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-358591.html is now located on Sandals property of their Royal Caribean resort. As guests in the flagship property we had privledges to visit . Today we shuttled over to Sandals Royal Caribean to see Kokomo now called Sandals Cay. It sports a swim up bar a jacuzzi and a parrot. It was quiet serene so we took a walk a dip a drink and headed back to the mainland. There we tried a different water bike but http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-358254.html The title is an old Jamacian proverb that basically means little by little we get the job done. We have realized it wont be possible to blog from this resort but not to worry with pen to pad I'll get the job done. Today we did everything there was to do here on the resort. We sailed a small sailboat tried a wave cycle kayaked the beachfront took a snorkel trip and watched the fish and the cor http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-357993.html Ohh New York and her snowstorms . After 3 hours on the runway we finally set off on our 3 12 hour flight. The good news is I finally got to see what deicing looks like. Basically they drive the plane into a hangar and a truck with a crane hanging off the top drives around the plane spraying green liquid on the wings. Woila Now we go....At the Sandals arrival lounge we were told Congratulation http://www.travelblog.org/Central-America-Caribbean/Jamaica/Montego-Bay/blog-357987.html Friday morning at 450am I wake up. Get ready and walk with Keith over to catch the bus to head to Montego Bay. We stand in line to check in and I notice that the woman running the office is the same one from when we went to Ocho Rios the same one that told us last time that there were no open seats on the bus. We check in without any problems and board the bus.
