bravo vi!! beautifully done reporting . . . and yes, as i said, ja folks are "rough rough" with their own, absolutely, see it over and over again. and yes, that's the cycle that continues that needs to be broken. . . . i'm a realist, not in my lifetime!!!

as much as i love winnifred, i can only handle so much of the local intrusion . . . san san and frenchman's are my getaways from the local scene. i've been to san san countless times, spent better part of the day there and be the only person there. just the way i love it!!!

Jitterbug, I want to thank you for your contributions as well as support with the report. I'm just beginning to see all that is common territory to you so your input was highly appreciated.

San San is on my list for the same reason you mentioned. Sometimes you just need to be with you and God (or whom ever one connects with spiritually). Under the Rock is close, but it's not a place I would want to do alone. However Frenchman's Cove is. From now on FC or San San will be a must for me when it's time to say goodbye.

Jitterbug - Can you clarify what you mean by "local intrusion"? I have heard only excellent things about Winnifred beach. Am I missing something?
We are coming that way in December and are really looking forward to seeing that part of Jamaica.

*Vi* - it took a while but finally finished reading this thread. What a great trip report. My wife and I are travelling to Portland area for a couple weeks at Christmas. It will be my 6th trip to Jamaica, my wifes 4th. We have always gone to Negril but have talked about getting to the Port Antonio area for a change. It's finally going to happen.

Thank you, thank you, what a beautiful report with fabulous pictures to go with it. I was on this ride from beginning to end and totally enjoyed it. Love Portland but haven't been in years, Frenchman is my spot, love it there, again really enjoyed the ride and could feel your love for Porty.

sandman, nothing bad at all, love winnifred . . . it's great . . . at times, i just wanted to get away to a quieter spot and be spoiled a little . . . my holidays were spent in local environment and it sure was wonderful to be a tourist, especially at frenchman's, there is service right to your lounge chair . . . . you will enjoy winnifred.
