My husband travels extensively for his work. Mostly to Thailand and China, but travels all over the globe. We travel as a couple as well, we have been together since 1973 so we have vacationed quite a bit at this point. Hey, we were kids back then, and though we are getting "up there" we are young at heart! We love a beach get away in the winter and head to the islands. Done many, but have done Jamaica for our last 5 trips. After he spent 8.5 weeks in Thailand this winter/early spring his boss said he would pay for a trip for us to get away. He really wanted us to try someplace new. Husband really just wanted Negril. He just wants to stay on the beach and take walks, head to the cliffs for drinks at sunset, that is about the extent of the activities he wants after working non-stop for over two months. I spent lots of time researching other destinations, Tulum, Isla Mujeres, Culebra and Belize. But in the end, we went with what we love, what we know and what we want. So we are heading to Negril on the 14th. Just something about the beach and the water and the trees and the sand and the sunsets and the low profile buildings and the food and the people and the chance for us to do nothing but be together. Of coarse everyone we know thinks it is kind of strange to keep going back to the same island, aside from my two sisters who joined us one trip and look forward to another vacation with us in 2014. Soon come.....indeed! I am so ready and love that I don't have to fret about what to pack, what to wear and dealing with all the other hassles that are part of a trip to other destinations. Fancy don't mean a vacation from regular life. Negril, for us, does.
