After spending almost two years in "Why Not Minot", I can certainly understand your wanting to escape!
I have the advantage of living both here in So. Florida and Accompong Town Jamaica so I only need to do one trip a year! I would go as many times as I could if I did not have this advantage. I find 6 months stays to be just perfect. I am ready to return in 6 months and equally ready to return to Jamaica in another 6 months. This time is a short 70 day visit though.
Peace and Guidance.
