Counting the Days

By Lori

Published Feb 1, 1996

Our first trip to Jamaica was in 1995 for a friends 40th birthday. Neither my husband or myself had any desire to go - and our friend had not prepared us for what Jamaica was really like. Since our first visit we have returned every

year - in between visits we have what we call "Jamaica flu" (that is the yearning to return!)

We stay at a small boarding house on the cliffs of Negril, much better than an all inclusive since you get out to meet the local people. The folks in Jamaica are the warmest and most sincere I've ever met.

At this moment am waiting to return to Negril (soon come). I think I'll kiss the ground when the plane lands!

Go to Jamaica, get out and meet the people. You will never be the same!

One Love-

Lori

Negril & Legends fit the bill once again - Jamaica Trip Report
We just got back on Sunday from another awesome Negril trip. I hate to say it but we had no mishaps, delays, disappointments, etc, etc. Everything thankfully fell into place and we all agreed that this was 110% better than last year's trip.

Don't Teach Your Garbage To Swim - Jamaica Trip Report
This last visit was very different for me, but not in a bad way...I've been having a hard time trying to explain it, so the best I can do for now is to say that it wasn't so much a vacation as it was my moving my life, my day-to-day existence, from New York to Jamaica...I've never felt uncomfortable there, but I reached a level of comfort that really surprised me....for example, there were entire days that we didn't take pictures, in fact we have no photos from our first two days...
