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 ...

Host Family came back from Florida last sunday. They brought a ton of canned food...things like spaghetti sauce. Ive never seen any jamaican eat spaghetti so I wonder what it's for. There daughter and son in law, Hilary and Tony, came back with them. Hilary is a nurse and told me that they would be having a health clinic at the school all week.

... most part, the service at the Starfish was great, and the entertainment staff made it a fun and enjoyable place to be. The evening entertainment was a little hit or miss, but it was probably because the resort wasn't full, so it was hard to get critical mass at the evening dance party at the on site club (Bubbles). The concert by A.J. Brown on Wednesday night was probably the highlight - he has a great ...

Spending: -$25 for food (3 meals) -$50 for ATV Safari -$5 for crate of bananas -$2 for root beer

... and do the same the next day. Only this day Sista Grace was actually on time and we made it out to another slum called Ferry. Here, the large males on the trip (strangely including me) were appointed to help tear down the wooden roofing of a building behind the school. The others were out front weeding and making it appear somewhat respectable to people driving by. One of the hottest days there, the most tiring work thus far was capped off by standing on the concrete roof we ...

These excursions include the obvious climb up Dunn's River falls, to rafting on the Martha Brae, and a day trip to the glorious beaches of Negril, and a stop at Rick's cafe, where cocktails, cliff ...
