I have been in 2 hurricanes in jamaica.. Just go with the flow..
Went down Oct6-16th, 2007 and had one sunny day and 9 days of POOURING rain. Never will do another Oct for me.
I just booked for Oct 18-26... I've only ever been to Negril in Feb, so I feel like this is risky, but the deal was too good to pass up.. Like you said, go with the flow. A bad day in Jamaica is still better than a good day at my desk?
We are going the last week in August, still hurricane season...hoping for the best.
I LEFT MY HEART IN JAMAICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hurricane was coming the day I was leaving. The Airport was closed.
When I called, Airline Information told me that i could go to the airport on wednesday (It was Sunday)and fight for a seat with 1,000 other tourist trying to get home.
I said "forget that".
My hotel let me stay 6 more days for free!
"pay us when you come back Mr. Spoon" is all they said.
It was glorious.
When the hurricane came , I think it was Emily or Dennis.
About 5-6 years ago when they hit back to back.
Anyone remember?
Funny though, I was so happy when the hurricane hit the week before i was to leave.
"there could not be another one too soon" I said to myself.
Man, was I wrong.
The hurricane was something to behold.
Very different colors in the sky.
Folks still out and abouot, not many, but some.
Good thing my in- laws shop was still open that morning.
We ran over, stocked up on all kinds of things and headed back to the hotel.
Fun was had by all.
Yep, that was 2004 Markospoon
We had a hurricane every weekend in Florida for about 4 weeks....every week someone else hosted the hurricane party....what else was there to do? Lol
I've been 4 times in September. Two times I had great weather and two times it rained my entire trip! I don't plan to travel to Jamaica in September again. I love the beach and that is my one of my main purposes for travelling to Negril.
