I had an unlce who used to go to Jamaica regularly (and just started going again, actually). I used to work the overnight shift with him at a truck stop, and as time went on, more and more of his "Jamaica" stories got told, and each one intrigued me more than the last. When it came time to get married and plan a honeymoon, it wasn't hard to decide where to go for my first trip out of the country. While not exactly getting the true Jamaican experience, we did enjoy our week at Couples Negril, and did sneak off the resort a few times to get a feel for the place. We swore we'd be back, but somehow ten years passed, and it never happened. However, we decided there was nothing we'd rather do than celebrate our ten year wedding anniversary in Negril, and have the Seastar booked for a week in late sept/early oct, with our wedding anniversary falling right in the middle of our trip! If that wasn't enough excitement, my THIRD trip to Jamaica is already in the works, as my best friend is planning a wedding at Riu Negril for Oct of 2015, and being the best man, I suppose I'd better be there! September 30 seems sooo awfully far away.....but not NEARLY as far away as when I planned this trip in January!
