Sorry to hear about the shake-up in your plans, Copper! Something very similar happened to me this year (I reported it on this forum back in Nov.)....... it sucks when you think you've established a relationship that's gonna work, and you've put all that energy into it .... and then your "prince charming" lets his true side through, and it isn't so "charming" after all. But the good news is, you figured it out before it was too late, and YOU'RE GOING TO JAMAICA!!!!! Even if Jamaica IS for lovers, it's more fun going solo .... no one to tell you what to do or get impatient with you, and your schedule is yours and yours alone!! Consider doing a May Roll call on the forum and see who else is going to be in JA ... you might find some other travelers that want to do some exploring with you and share some costs ..... not that you'd hookup in the 'biblical' sense (I'd be wary of some of the behavior that some of the boardies boast about .... STDs are rampant in Caribbean), but could share a driver or gas, etc. And if I were going to spend time on the north coast .... it wouldn't be MoBay for an extended time..... but maybe something between MoBay and Ochie. Duncans has a nice little retreat call Silver Sands, and from there you could take in the Glistening Waters in Falmouth, the Green Grotto caves in Discovery Bay, maybe go for an excursion through Fern Gully near Ochie, and hit Nine Mile to pay respect to Bobby, eat breadfruit and roast yam at Scotchies ..... Then of course, there's Negril...home base .... and any of the south coast excursions that others have mentioned. You're gonna have a blast!!!
