"Second Honeymoon" – Day 2

We were awakened by a big sound on the zinc roof. Maybe it was a breadfruit or almond from a tree on the property. I peeped out the window facing the beach and could see Chris raking the property. Karen was still lying in bed half awake. I could smell something nice coming from the […]

"Second Honeymoon" – Day 3

We awoke to the beautiful sunrise today. As usual, I headed over to the kitchen and made breakfast arrangements. As I walked back from the kitchen and looked out to the sky, in the direction of beach, it was clear with not a cloud in sight. I sat out on the porch till Karen was […]

Paradise, aka Jamaica…

We returned home from our stay in Negril with only 2 SHORT weeks remaining to prepare for Christmas. Because of this, there has been no time to sit and type out a ‘report’ of our trip. With the holidays now behind us, here goes. My husband and I arrived in Mo-bay to find Solomon “Sala” […]

All You See is Beauty

I have been going to Jamaica for the last 5 years. Sometimes as much as twice a year and if it were for some of the people there I wouldn’t have been so often. The first time I went I was blessed to have gone to Kingston from Mandeville on a bus and the sites […]

The Dichotomy of Jamaica…

I like to end on a positive note so I’ll start with what I did not like. It didn’t take long after arriving to realize that tourists are looked on as money. And most people I ran into did not understand the basic economic rule of supply and demand, i.e. Higher prices lower demand. Lower […]

My Trip to Run Away Bay

This being our first trip to Jamaica, we had many questions. By looking at many sites on the Internet, we were able to get many of our questions answered but not all. For this reason, this report will be a bit long and detailed. We booked with Super Clubs and ended up at Breezes Runaway […]

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. […]

Negril Beach Club – Part 1

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. […]

Land of My Parents

My first trip to JA was 4 years ago in early January. My parents and older brothers and sisters were born there, so I grew up listening to the fascinating stories of life in St Andrew and longed to experience it myself. I was not prepared for the ‘I’m finally home!’ kind of feeling, after […]

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 […]
