Why do you always go back to Jamaica?

[captaind & Linston]

I can get a beach and warm weather in a lot of places so for me it's the people first and the food second. And hey, Cap, can I visit your money too???

Nikki,

I believe you've stood right on it

The people, the beach, the cliffs, the music, the food, the combination of all those things.
I try to play down the place a bit... tell friends that Negril is not for everyone... you know what they say "call something paradise - kiss it goodbye".

Have to agree with Georgia. Winterpeg can get pretty cold. there's nothing like an ice cold red stripe on de beach ! it is paradise to me but not for everyone. more for us mon !

This year, the weather is pretty decent in Winnipeg though isn't it?! But not as decent as the Jamaica weather
Are you heading to Negril this winter, Stoners5? We got talked into returning to Hawaii, and although I know it will be very nice, I am already dreaming of Jamaica for next winter!

i get asked that a lot . . . go to mexico with kids yearly, but it just does not cut it for me.

feels like home but always something new!!

now let us be honest folks...come on.....the ganja is a big draw, no?

It is easy to get a non stop from Philly.
The price is comparable to the Jersey Shore.
It takes little or no planning.
Good food.

However, we tend to take an adventure trip yearly, which is not always easy to get to, not always cheap. and takes considerable planning.
Last February it was the Ecuadorean Amazon and this March we are headed to Nicagarua.

And as far as Mexico goes, we have been many times, but not so much for the beach, but for the Mayan ruins, cenotes, colonial architecture, none of which Jamaica has.

Regards,
Bob

Ditto this. Especially the comparison to the Jersey Shore. The wife and I are looking into a long weekend at Cape May for Valentines Day. Hotel prices are easily $200+/night - in the wintertime, when you can't even enjoy the beach! (That's another thing - in Jersey the ocean is really only warm enough to swim in 2-3 months out of the year. Jamaica enjoys a warm current all year round.) I could get a pretty sweet room in Negril for that price, even during high season. In fact, I have never paid that much for a room in Negril.

Basically, it's hard to justify paying more for a destination when you know you will enjoy Negril more. The food, the music, the people, the activities, the vibe, the culture.

i tell everyone that asks me. the music the food, the people, the vibe, but not in that order!!!
