We've travelled loads through work and play over the past 30 years. Negril (Ja) is just different. We cry, always have. Shallow, maybe. I would like to think it's the dead opposite. It's a feeling deep in the soul, that brings out emotion not given freely in 'normal' situations. (I've been knownto bury something of mine, just to leave something hidden and know that one day I'll have to return to find it)
Rise early, treat everyday as though it's your last and your last day as it's your first.
I have a new adventure every time I go to Jamaica. See new places I haven't seen before, meet new people. Even have different adventures at the same place I visited before. I'm not one to sit on the beach and drink Red Stripe. I get bored fast. This year I did the One Love Bus Bar Crawl, parasailed and the highlight of the trip was visiting a school and gave out school supplies to 3, 4 and 5 year old kids. Some amazing places and met some amazing people. There's so much more I haven't done or seen yet. The key is to get off the resort and off the beach. Eat where the locals eat, go where the locals go. That's the main reason I won't do AI resorts. If you stay on the resort, I don't think it matters what country you go to. There's beaches and beer everywhere. It's the Jamaican people that keep me coming back.
I think PhineasFreaker summed it up perfectly.
If someone would put me in their luggage, I would be SO down with April!!
Like someone said, there are beaches everywhere. There is just this "something" that I don't feel or get on any other trip
to other places. It is just so weird that it's unspoken and it happens to a lot of people.
I have NEVER cried leaving a place I visited for a week and I cried when I left Jamaica. Now I hear other people are
affected the same way? What the heck?
I agree with you Brasi. When in April are you going? My husband and I go April 7th
