Brasi, I agree with all of you, particularly the escape winter part .... HOWEVER, we did Jam last June and it was AWESOME. It's off season, and there are few tourists, and everyone has time for you. Everyone! You really get to know people and get a feel for life in our beloved Jamaica! It's hot. Stinking hot. But just amazing! I would highly recommend June/July. If you do go, pack light. Bigger, looser clothes than you would wear on the hottest day up here. Worth the trip! Even the vegetation is different - 99.9% of all plant life blooms there, for crying out loud! Those gorgeous trees that are so lovely and green in Jan/Feb have freakin' amazing flaming red blooms in summer! I mean, scrubby, crappy weedy things you don't think twice about in winter are amazing to see in summer. My vote: Give June a shot. You'll not regret it. P.S. it was amazing enough that we are going again this year end of June beg of July. Try it.
