Emerald Escape Beach Resort Montego Bay

And so, the backpacking part of our trip has ended and as we had no time to travel Central America, we decided it would be a good enough substitute to spend a week in Montego Bay, Jamaica. When we first planned our trip we vowed that we would spend the last 10 days or so just chilling and taking it all in on the beach somewhere, so when my brother, Craig, mentioned we should meet him in Jamaica we jumped at it! What a tough week it turned out to be ...

I spent almost a week in Negril, a long stretch of beaches along the western tip of Jamaica. Very popular with tourists. I walked the beach several times and I've been annoyed by the "farmers" and the like on a regular basis. They are sometimes aggressive. Better to walk along the road than the beach at night to/from the restaurant for obvious reasons. Nice sunsets.

... with Brazil wasn't right. He had to go all the way back and that road is notoriously bad. The f**ry of course depends on a t**rible road on the Suriname side, so that remains to be improved. Passeng**s could cross without it in small boats of course, if Immigration and Customs w**e willing, so the problem is as much one of will and motivation as logistics and money. They seem oblivious to the problem even though passeng**s like me are ...

... where Ricks Cafe and the lighthouse are. So we hopped a cab from the beach and headed for Ricks first. From there we could walk to the lighthouse. When we got to Ricks I was disappointed to see that none of the divers I knew from all my previous trips, were the guys I knew. And I was excited to see the BIG changes at Ricks since I hadn't been there since before hurricane Ivan had destroyed almost the entire property! It was bigger and better than ever ...

We have arrived and none too worse for wear. We were really lucky in our seats, since we sat in the emergency exit isle. Lots of leg room! Jeff had his PSP to watch his TV shows and I watched Waiting to Launch on the screen. It was ok...I guess the real interesting stuff happened once we set foot on Jamaican soil. We had met a really nice couple at the airport (Greg and Shelly) so it was nice to know they were staying at the same resort. But figuring ...
