My First Jamaica Vacation
On my first Jamaica vacation, I was so excited...I could not wait for the plane to land. As I exited the aircraft, the moist Jamaica heat embraced me…unmistakably tropical!
Although Kingston Jamaica was our main location, my first step one of Jamaica’s sugary white sand beaches was at Doctor’s Cave Montego Bay…so amazing!
Norman Manley Int Airport KingstonMy First Jamaica Vacation - Exploring
Montego Bay - With beach sunbathing done for the day, we went for a walk along the “hip strip” (Gloucester Avenue Montego Bay), checking out the various attractions along the way – we discovered among others, Aquasol Beach Park at one end of the Avenue and a Bird Sanctuary at the other.
Road into Montego Bay from Rose Hall endSoon we were exhausted and hungry and went in search of food. We chose a restaurant from the many on the “hip strip” and our ackee and salt fish brunch (Jamaica’s national dish) link was delish...yum yum!
National dish served boiled green banana and sweet potato Negril - Next we checked out the activities in Negril for a couple of days; then a visit to Ocho Rios and the famous Dunn’s River Falls. Port Antonio was next on the agenda where we had fantastic visits to Frenchman’s Cove Beach, San San and Winifred Beaches.
Negril Beach at Tree House HotelSt Elizabeth - a trip to Jamaica’s south coast was a must so laid-back Treasure Beach St Elizabeth was the next stop. Before we knew it, 8 days had slipped away.
Kingston - The last couple of days were spent in Kingston checking out a few sites - Devon House, Bob Marley Museum, Port Royal and Lime Cay Beach.
