... br><br>Our flight from Quito was delayed which meant we missed our connection and spent a night in Miami to catch an early flight the next day. In our already relaxed state of mind we just rolled with the punches and got to Montego Bay a day later than planned, no biggie.<br><br>Upon arrival in Montego Bay (or Mobay) we were immediately introduced to the relaxed island vibes!

... reviews on Trip Advisor and quite a few travel agents don't recommend it, mostly due to it's close proximity to to the Montego Bay airport, which is coincidentally just across the street. But there is also a reason this resort boasts the most returning guests of all the Sandals Resorts. Obviously there must be something about Sandals Montego Bay that keeps people coming back, and I'm pretty sure it isn't the ...

... even buy citizenship if I think it'll get me into those countries that might not like a US passport. I'm serious. Current rate is $300K investment and $35K for paperwork. Who knows? Maybe they'll let me run for president. With another little side trip from Miami to the Bahamas, I'd then have the Caribbean zipped up, all thirteen countries. <br> <br>So I'm already planning two or three trips ahead while sitting in Montego Bay, probably not the ...

... were some magic way to simply Chomsky-like absorb a language, and Rosetta Stone plays and preys on that philosophy, but I don't believe it. If you want to learn a language, crack the book. I didn't notice Chomsky speaking perfect Spanish on Havana TV. He spoke English. Actually you don't need a book now, much less a dozen. You just need a laptop and internet, ditto for guide books.

... at around 9pm as people chatted around me. I absolutely love to fall asleep like that. Everyone was so worn out by the full weekend and the sun. We cleared out of the hotel by 10am this morning and took the two flights back home. We expect Scooter's friends from Switzerland later today- they are spending a couple of days here and then traveling to Florida and New York. I can't believe we leave in a week!

... lobby. I have no idea what he looks like though because he never puts his pictures on the internet or our forum. But I KNOW he knows what I look like because my pictures are all over the forum. It was so cool to actually meet him! We laughed for some unknown reason, I guess because him and I have been moderating that forum for so long up til this point and have never met! He was awesome! I was embarrassed because I was the only person who dared show up in ...

... would still require some rest, and that a beach holiday shouldn't aggravate it. We stayed about halfway down Montego Bay's 'Hip Strip', which contained a few overpriced eateries, and a terrific fast-food style jerk speciality place called the 'Pork Pit'. Downtown Montego Bay is best avoided at all costs any time after 6 pm at night, for safety reasons alone, but it was pleasant enough to stroll around the city area in the daytime ...
