    At the airport about to board in the next 10 minutes, excited is an understatement. I traveled to JA 3 times before, the last time was in the summer '18 for almost one month. That was my longest stay to date and I had a blast. It was the first time I ever visited Kingston, and I loved it. I booked this trip almost immediately after getting back to Europe.

    What I'm hoping to experience this trip is lots of running and outdoor activities, great food (as always), awesome music, lots of dancing, meeting cool people both locals, expats and people like me visiting from foreign. The plan is to live a 'normal' day to day life, meaning work (since I work remote), train and hang out. Only I get to do it in my favourite places/environment with the most beautiful sunsets on earth.

    I'm looking forward to catching up with friends, some local and some who recently relocated to JA, maybe even running a shorter distance race, like a 5k or 10. I'm also going to try my best at securing a ticket to go and see Buju Banton's concert in March. I have a feeling it will be a historic event and would love to go. I might pop by BritJam in Montego Bay to celebrate my birthday and I'm looking forward to the St Paddy's day party at Canoe on March 17.

    I've taken notes of all the recommended spots to visit, by boardies on this forum. I learnt that the Alcatel MiFi modem from Digicel has the same speed and connection as my mobile data, so I decided not to get that. Instead I'll top up my mobile data and spend the money I would've spent on the modem at local WiFi spots. Hopefully this will work out well, and I won't have any issues getting my work done.

    It's time to board, let the adventures commence

    Angelica, I hope that you have a safe flight to Jamaica. If time permits when in Kingston you might want to consider taking a visit to Holywell Park up at the top of Hardware Gap. It's a beautiful garden high above Kingston. It might be worth your while checking it out. Very cool spot!!

    Hi Bnewb, thanks for your kind words and recommendations, if I remember correctly you have helped me with recommendations for places to stay on for a few of my JA/Negril visits. I really appreciate it, most helpful.

    Negril has been wonderful, and I can't believe 1 month has passed already, I could easily stay longer. But, I'm excited about heading to Kingston tomorrow and will check out the places you mentioned and report back at the end of my stay.

    Thanks again, if you're coming to the St Paddy's get together at Canoe in March let's say hello!
