After visiting Negril, who else has nixed future plans for other destinations?

[gerryg123]

Here's what happened. Just the facts.

I had been to Cancun and Cabo and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. I had been to a couple of the islands in Hawaii. I had been to the Bahamas. I had even been to Bora Bora in Tahiti.

Then I took a trip to Negril.

That trip to Jamaica got this beach-lover to vacation more than ever .... but only to Negril. I never go back to the other places.

Can anyone relate?

Good thought,We have NEVER been "other places".My wife has thought about for our kids to see other islands.But I think our heart for Jamaica will not let us)~But Bora Bora would maybe be nice? naw JAMAICA for us!!

Same here gerryg123...1st trip to negril in '88 thru '99..then tried Turks & Cacios...Mexico..all over Hawaii & after all that I just had to come back To Negril in '05 & every year since..to be continued 01/30/13for my 5 week stay. Been asked by many why I keep going back. I just can't find that vibe & peacefullness I'm looking for anywhere else or the wonderful smells..the hard working Jamaican people that I have so much respect for busting their butts everyday to make a buck & never ever do I here a complaint. I like the fact that it just hasn't changed all that much since my first visit..just keep it simple. You either get it or you don't...but I know it's not for everyone & respect that. This year I have a freind coming to for himself for a week to see what it's all about....we'll see if Negril hooks another one!!

Our oldest son will be graduating from high school in the Spring. As a gift to him, we booked a trip with about 5 other families of students that are his friends to Maya Riviera in March. Everyone is so excited for the trip and constantly sending out countdown reminders......but the wife and I have very low expecations that it will come even close to comparing with Negril. We spend more time talking about our trip back to Negril next December than our upcoming Mexico trip. I try to excited by looking at pictures on Trip Advisor, bit it just ain't happening. Who knows, with our expectations this low, it shouldn't be hard for them to be surpassed....Also a little nervous that our 18 year old son will be legal drinking age...should be interesting.

This may very well be the last time we do a tropical vacation anywhere other than Jamaica.

Been alot of places but always compare them to Negril.Every beach destination I always long for sweet Jamaica.Thats why we always come back I haven't found a place like it.

i soooo concur!!! I have been to Puerto Rico, Bahamas and St. Maarten...but Jamaica has my heart and soul!!! I am doing 2 trips to the DR next year and trying to figure out how I am going to squeeze in a trip to Jamaica!!!!

I do the juggling act ~ Negril & Akumal and, it's working out very nice....

[captaind]

I can't be objective as Jamaica has been part of our lives and family for so long. Even when we were away.

I can only say that after being away for so long it was like I never left.

It occurs that I have had roots in Jamaica longer that anywhere I've ever lived.

Everywhere else is a vacation but Jamaica is coming home

The only beach vacation I've wanted to go back to other than Jamaica was Railey Beach in Thailand. Stunning vistas, clear water and very cool vibe, especially at night when the day trippers leave. If only it wasn't a 20hr+ trip away. Amazing food.

So.... he already has 3-4 years drinking experience.... no problem!
