Why do you always go back to Jamaica?

3.5 hours from NYC...so close but a world away.
The food and the people. Good vibes.
The beach is a huge bonus.

Agree with the replies. There is NO place on earth like Negril. I try really hard to explain this to friends who insist that Mexico or the DR is their "place". Whatever. The saying "Once you go, then you know" is really true. {Except for the travelers who stop in Jamaica on a cruise ship} . They get hassled too much, and say "we are never going back to Jamaica again" This fact is something the Jamaica tourism board should be aware of, and address. Whatever. There's another saying I like . "Either you get it, or you don't!" For me, it's the great people, the food, the irie vibes, the peace of mind, the emptying out of my brain, do not turn on the tv, do not tink about stuff back home, the ice cold Red Stripes, a really good dirty banana once and a while, da beach, da cliffs mon'. The "Skip" sightings, the Saturday night Seastar Inn entertainment & food. Hanging out at Sunnyside bar, Sun Beach, the afternoon entertainment at the Boat bar, Drfiter's bar, The food at Best in the West, Lenbert's one love bus pub crawl, Our JA family in Likkle London, 3 Dives, Our friends at NTH. etc. There I could go on, sorry Rob {grin} Too long? In January will be my lovely wife's and mine 15th Negril trip {in 11 years} still newbies? One love, RESPECT. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Todd & Deb
