NorternCaligurl, I usually travel to Jamaica the ending of January for 3-4 weeks however, last year I came the ending of July. I stayed for ATI, Indepence Day and St mary mi come from and also, the reggae wine festival. This year the Independence celebration should be bigger and better because it's the 50th year. There was a lot going on around that time, I had a blast. I will be doing a repeat this year with a little twist of port antonio this time. I am a solo traveler to Jamaica but always meet pretty cool people. Maybe we can hookup along with other boardies in August.
