We try to go once a year for about 10-12 days. We try to plan it so we have 2 full weekends in JA. Our work, vacation days, and co-workers vacation days dictate when we can go. My husband has to work his vacation schedule around 2 other people. They have it worked out that they rotate the holiday seasons, so every third year we will get to squeeze in an extra trip over Christmas/New Years. We were there Feb 2011. In 2012 we will be visiting Jamaica in Jan, then again in Dec/Jan 2012/13 (holiday season). To be able to go over the holiday season we will be "borrowing" a few vacation days from 2013 which means we won't be able to make it back until Jan/Feb. 2014. Does that make sense? lol. It's crazy that we plan our vacations that will be 2-3 years from now.
