... 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 ...

continued from previous So I've 'done' over half of the Caribbean countries now, seven down and only six (depending on current political events) to go. 'Big deal' you say, except that that's a lot of flights and connections, not to mention expense. You don't see many backpackers here, unless they're sailboat-savvy. I hear you can get on boats in Antigua (drop the 'u' to match local pronunciation). That's a greater number of countries than in all ...

... to shake it off, deny the existence of the other now inside me. But it's too little too late. I have no choice but to ride it out now, let it run its course. But what is it? It's not some drug I voluntarily ingested and now I've changed my mind while waiting for it to 'kick in'. It's another being, another life form that's found its home in me, whether by accident or design, sitting in the driver's seat and taking over the wheel. They ...

... out. Sometimes it's nice just to blend in to the point of being ignored. Anything else is a subtle form of racism, however benign. But it CAN be fun, all the extra attention, especially if you're a novice traveler looking for thrills. Me, I'm past all that; yeah, right. No, me, I'm just looking for a wi-fi signal. What was optional a year ago is no longer so. I'll pay extra for a wi-fi signal and even go without cable TV. I just opted ...

... here and always willing to help. We stopped on the way at Scotchies Restaurant for some "jerk chicken and pork" which was a little too spicy for my blood but the husband loved it! We had to try the famous red stripe beer of course, by this time the kids were fast asleep. After stopping at about 4 hotels to drop off other vacationers, we arrived at the resort about 1.5 hours later. Now time for our vacation to begin...

... we got back to the hotel, we set up our simple surprise for the bday celebrant....Moet Champagne and us singing along with our gift to Syntra - the Magic Sing Microphone....I could tell she liked it...We all dressed up for dinner and it was great....buffet with roast lamb yummy.....Dinner was really fantastic...we all enjoyed it....As for drinks......I guess I can briefly describe it with 4 words....Long Island Iced Teas.......that meant trouble to say the very least ...

... and live musicians created the atmosphere just the way you'd have wanted it to be. All in all, it was a far cry from skiing down a mountain, but then again, winter sun never goes amiss, and as I left the place armed with a souvenir T-shirt, a whole bunch of photos and terrific memories, it comes as no surprise as to why I began to consider a healthy travel schedule to be something as worryingly vital as breathing in air.<br>

First of all, everyone should check out the new photos that I put up on WebShots (http://community.webshots.com /user/murraycarlson). Second, I think that I really seriously hurt myself this weekend. I dove off a 10ft. cliff in Negril and my back hurt the second I hit the water. Jess thinks I hyper-extended it, but I haven't been to the doctor. I wouldn't mind so much, except the Falmouth Volleyball Tournament is on Saturday, and I was really looking forward to playing.
