I am back from Jamaica. My Family LOVED Negril!

[Clarity]

The whole trip was incredible. This was my first time traveling in August and it’s a great time to go to Negril because you really feel like you have the place to yourself. There are amazing deals with hotels during this time so it’s really affordable. The water temperature is perfect and the vibe is really relaxed. You'll probably want to stay at a place w/ air conditioning though. It gets really hot at night. Be aware that you may deal with a brief storm or two because it’s the start of hurricane season, but it passes quickly. The rain is so refreshing. A nice respite from the heat…

My father didn’t get to meet all the family he had hoped to because we were there for such a short time, but he’s in touch with all of them now and he is planning a trip back for July 2013 to meet up with the rest. I’ve planted the seed, they are hooked and my work here is done

I don’t think I’ll be writing a full fledged detailed trip report this time, but my little 17 year old sister, Amber took some great pictures that she uploaded into my computer. I’ll start another thread in a few days with those images because it’s really special to see Jamaica through the eyes of a first timer.

We’ll also get back into finishing our One love trip report as soon as we can– I’m determined to finish that.

Thank you everyone for your caring advice and all of your help in planning this trip! I truly appreciated it and it meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I got to show my family the Island I love and re-introduce my father to Jamaica. It was a special trip for all of us, the only sad thing is that it went by way to fast.

5 days just isn’t enough time to take it all in.



But I’m grateful for every minute of this family vacation.

Even though my trips to Negril are coming to an end (for a while anyway) as we’re planning to start a family of our own and need to put money away…

For my sisters and my parents, this is JUST the beginning...
