Personally I don’t use the word “magical” to describe the effect(s) being in Jamaica has on one’s mindset. In the midst of the thick, thriving foliage surrounded by turquoise waters with intoxicating aromas hovering in the warm air, life’s realities outnumber the fairytales. While Jamaica can’t be blamed for a relationship’s demise, neither can it be credited for its success. But being immersed in the sights, sounds, smells, voices, and textures does fuel honest emotions from deep within one’s heart motivating them to act/react. In other words, as you stated, it’s up to the individuals to do some mending if needed.

Amerapress, your relationship sounds a little tender therefore you’ll be giving it a lot of thought while you experience Jamaica as a couple. Trust me, I know…I’ve been there. You will enjoy unexpected personal blissful moments when uncertainties become so clear. It’s during those moments you’ll find yourself face to face with questions then answers to how to ensure that inner calm feeling will continue beyond Jamaica.

I think your travel order is perfect. Negril’s pace will keep you both busy, while your steps in Port Antonio will be a lot slower and intimate. The scenic ride getting there, for starters, is tranquilizing.

I LOVE Port Antonio. If you can work it into your visit, try to go to Reach Falls. Wear a cute bathing suit and good water shoes. Wade in the still waters or let the force of the falls massage your body. Splash together or just watch him. I’m not a fan of disposable cameras, but get one and give it to the life guard so he can snap candid pictures of the two of you that you won’t see until you return home.

Jamaica provides an ambiance for any relationship in any stage or condition…the rest is up the couple and, IMO, that’s the easy part. Go with it honestly.

Please enjoy yourself. Enjoy each other. Remember what made you fall in love with him and say it out loud.
