As long as you can and then as often as you can. Once in a lifetime, once a year or more. Maximize the airfare investment.
You had a fantastic 6 days. It only gets better the longer you stay.

I can't really get the fix I need in one week, and it never is actually a whole 7 days anyways. I would say that 10 days and 10 days would be the best I could do. Last year we did 2 weeks, plus 2 days and it was super. If you can, add to that 2 weeks an extra day because then you actually have the full 2 weeks, not 12 with two days travelling back and forth to airports.
I would think that if I could go 3x a year, I might be able to keep the vibe so that one week at a time would be enough.
I need days and days of nothing and then I get my second breath and like to explore - in one week that doesn't happen. Clearly, if you are staying at a resort and mostly go back and forth from the beach to the bar, one week might suffice!!
I have only gone on a one week vacation once and that was 20 years ago - to Antigua. It was pretty low key but my hair will still wet from the pool when I was walking across the tarmac to get on the plane and I was crying....not a pretty sight!
I couldn't imagine not going less that three times a year.. but if I had to it would be b...
Going on a trip to Negril every Month![]()
I, personally, can't wait a whole year to get back to Jamaica. I often find myself planning the next trip a month or so after I get back. So, I try to go every six months. Summer trip is usually for 10-12 days, winter trip is usually 7 days.
I would rather go 2 weeks twice a year but the airfare is a bummer. So, We just go for a month once a year..

I work under Plan B - only because with work it is easier to take a week or 10 days (with a holiday included) at a time so I am blessed to go twice a year on average for a week or so. Now what is worthwhile is a the really long wait and saving for a true sabbitical. Life changing. Took a year and 3 jobs but was able to swing 4 months one year. I am so grateful that I have been able to go so often. My longest wait was a whole year and it was pure agony. Markus is right about patience though .... it takes every bit in between trips.
Great question.
