We live in SwFl close to the beach, you can get a room on the beach in Negril for half the rate of Fl on the beach. You can go all inclusive/inc air to Jamaica for less than most nice rooms cost in Fl on the beach. Plus it's like a whole different country, international jet setting, in about 1.5 hrs. That is only the economic reasons involved. The love of most everyone we meet in Jamaica is a wonderful thing, there is truly something magical about the place. I know; "it's irie pon de rock mon!".
