A week in Negril

By Karl

Published Sep 1, 1999

Dear Jamaica,
Thank you for the most relaxing week of my life. Your people are freindly, vegatation stunning, beaches gorgeous and coffee supreme. And I would be remiss not to mention the food, rum, and Red Stripe.

Many people warned us of the horrors of Jamaica when we chose our vacation and they were all wrong. The travel is a bit difficult between Montego Bay and Negril, and the vendors at roadside craft fairs can be overly aggresive. Other than these two minor negatives, Jamaica was wonderful. I will never forget Orin, Stephanie, Jules, and Danny Boy, a few of the great staff at "Beaches" in Negril. Everyday I will think of the crystal clear torquise ocean and inviting beaches that I had to leave behind.

If anyone out there is considering Jamaica as a vacation spot, I encourage you to go and expierience this wonderful piece of paradise. But don't stay couped up in your resort all the time, while the resorts are wonderful treat yourself to some of the beautiful people that this country has to offer and travel beyond your resort.

Thank you Jamaica, It was Erie Mon

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...

This past April, a group of us left Toronto on a mission trip to Southfield, St. Elizabeth. Our first eight days on the island was extremely busy, and so the pictures in this report are of the two days we had to ourselves, plus some from the week I spent in Kingston.
