You have no idea, your trip report have me reminiscing so bad. That saying once you go u know is so true. I left jamaica in August 2011 and immediately booked my next trip for January 2012 for a 1 month stay. This wil be my 14th trip since 2000. On my first trip I traveled with my sister and friend. I met up with an old friend i met in the US that I haven't seen in 6yrs who moved back to Jamaica. He met us at the aiport at mobay then off to negril we went. I love a little adventure so we left the sister and friend in Negril, they was satifisfied with Negril alone. I went to his home in kingston, to do the native and local thing and hung out with his friends and family. It was my birthday weekend, and also carnival time in Kingston we did the carnival the club asylum, and off to Dunn's river in Ocho Rios the next day. The following day, back across the other side of the island to negril, picked up my sister and back to Kingston, asylum and Dunns River. We stayed in kingston for the weekend then back to Negril. I did all this in 8 days for my first visit. Each year since, my stays were longer and it's been more and more of an adventure. I can't explain of how excited it's been and how Jamaica has had such an impact on my vacations. I have explored the whole country and stayed in almost all the 14 parishes. I have traveled to many places but none can match Jamaica. I say, leave the All Inclusives and explore Jamaica. Trust me you can make a best seller based on your writing skills. I am a self-proclaimed writer and I will love to write a book about my adventures as well. Just haven't gotten around to it. You started your novel on the Negril Message board on your first visit. You go girl, LIVE SOME LIFE. Book your next trip so I can relive my adventure through you.
