6 Years a Tourist

By R. Ducharme

Published Sep 1, 1998

We first started visiting Jamaica was in 1987. We've probably made more than a couple dozen trips since then. Typically we go to Negril--to party-- but now we want to take our 2 teenaged sons to the island.

Since we've been travelling there for 10 years we're looking at possibly retiring there. Does anyone have suggestions for travelling with teenagers (both of whom we do not wish to expose too much to the drug scene) and what would be the tips for possible land purchase or development for our retirement? Please be candid. Since our first trips, it appears that the countryside from MoBay to Negril has decinegrated...there is much more pollution and trash. Is there a way for us to take part in a "clean up" as investors?

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...
