La Mirage Hotel Montego Bay

... our last day we got a local taxi driver to take us down the road to Negril, another town on the west of the country. There is a great beach there (7-mile beach) and some cliffs with the most amazing turquoise water crashing beneath.<br><br>To sum it up, Mobay served its purpose perfectly: gave us a chance to catch up with Craig, do some swimming, catch a tan, drink some beers but most of all just take it easy and relax and have a holiday form our holiday!

... and sewage and God knows what? You don't swim in Pattaya, Thailand. It's not healthy; everyone knows that. Can you safely swim in MoBay? They got two tourist police for each tourist here. Why can't they hire some people to pick up some trash, too? But there's no time for abstract speculation. I need an exterminator... fast, before the Thing decides to franchise and found new colonies. I need a weapon. I need antibiotics. <br> <br>It's hard to ...

... worst. But when you stay in your room in Jamaica to stay warm, not cool, and the AC takes a full day off, then you know you've got some bad weather. The East Coast has been getting battered all season, so I hear, while California has been getting fried, basking in record winter highs, so I tell my wife. This is good to remember, because I got chills to the point of going to bed early and getting under the covers. That's not normal; I ...

... you wear a bodysuit or protective water shirt and sunscreen on your neck and the back of your legs particularly if you plan on snorkeling for anything longer then 20 minutes. We swam from the beach to the reef passing dozens of dark spiky sea urchins. At times we passes hundreds of small jellyfish about two to three inches round. Most jellyfish were attached to the coral reef itself. At points the water was ...

... He stays all day and we hang out on 7 mile beach and at Rick's to drink and do some cliff diving. Negril is awesome and would probably go back upon returning to Jamaica. Other activities we did: kayak, snorkel, volleyball, drinking games, shopping, sight see. After shopping on the hip strip and seeing the hustlers, drivers, and shop owners we had grown very weary of shopping. One point get your liquor in the airport.
