Now when can I go back?
When my Aunt and I arrived at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort in Montego Bay on Saturday we both had our hair braided in cornrows, but we took them out that night because they itched too much. It took us four hours to undo them so we were up until 4:30 a.m. taking them out. […]

Hi everybody – just returned from our first trip to Jamaica!! It was fabulous. I’ll try to make this report concise and factual for other new people like me – I don’t think the old pros like jtgogo1 need my help! We stayed at Negril Beach Club Condos and were very happy with our accommodations. […]
Couple Negril March 2002 Trip Report
Travel – We used TimAir in lieu of the bus and paid $240 in cash for two round trips to Negril after making the web reservations in January. Could have used plastic at the TimAir counter in MoBay but opted not to and avoided the additional 5% credit card fee. From what I saw, nobody […]

Day out in the country….Mayfield Falls!
It was a spur of the moment decision to take a drive to the country. We were in our first week of a two-week holiday in Jamaica and we were staying in Lucea, a small town about 30 minutes from Negril. Our party was unusually large, but it was also our annual get together in […]
"Second Honeymoon" – Day 4 & 5
