Sunshine Village Apartment Hotel Negril

Stayed at Roots Bamboo for the 1st two nights, then moved down the beach to Coconuts "International".
Met up with Woody and Linda at SeaStar.

We found Whitey, the bartender from Fellingham's in Southampton. He's been coming down here for 20 years and has pretty much been adopted by a Jamaican family that he stays with every year.<...

We arrived to a stinking hot and humid day in Montego Bay wearing our gear from a freezing cold Dallas morning. Waiting in the customs line at the airport we got the low down on how to survive in Jamaica from this nice guy in line behind us. After getting through customs (and buying 2 cold Red Stripe beers for $6.50 each!) we arranged for our sh...

Well, very nearly at the end of this blog now. Later today we will transfer to Montego Bay airport, and (all being well) take off for the UK at 7.05pm tonight. We should be back at Gatwick for 10am Sunday.

It is strange to think we are going home. This break has been truly amazing and it is a shame that it is coming to an end. I guess ...

Hi all

Just a quick update. It's Friday morning, and we've just had breakfast. As ever at this time of the day, the sky is a brilliant blue and the sun warm. The view out over the Carribean was spectacular.

This is our final full day on honeymoon, which is sad. Tomorrow evening we fly back to London, arriving at Gatwick at 10a...

Hi guys Just a quick update via the phone to let you know that we are safely settled into The Caves in Jamaica. It is, as you'd expect, beautiful. Yesterday's travel was a bit stressful - we had a manic/comical dash through Miami to reach our connecting flight - but it all worked out OK, and we arrived here at 10.30pm last night. There were a co...

Sondag 11.april JAMAICA!! Naa er vi i Negril paa Jamaica, og jeg vet ikke engang hvor jeg skal begynne med aa fortelle om hvordan det er her. Det er akkurat som alle ryktene tilsier :) De sier faktisk "Yah Man" i hveer setning, uavhengig av alder, kjonn eller hvem de snakker til. Og maaten de snakker paa er et helt annet kapittel.. De snakker en...

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 r...

Even though Dorothy and John were celebrating their 30th anniversary, we were celebrating our third one and it was awesome. The resort looks exactly like it does on the website and the rooms have full bottles of liquor in them that are included in your overall cost. There are several restaurants on property that are open and offer a variety of f...

Another beautiful morning in Jamaica. Blue mountain coffee, fresh fruit, and baked goods delivered to the room. They told us about the botanical tour during orientation and we plan to attend this morning. The tour was conducted by an employee on the grounds staff by the name of Fitzroy. He was a quiet spoken young man who had incredible knowledg...

April 2004 My mission: To convince a city-slicking 12 year old boy that Disneyland is not the best vacation in the world. The tools I have to complete my mission: a tight budget, 2 tickets to Jamaica and a 12 year old boy with an attitude about going. He thinks that just because its my favorite place on earth, why should I have to inflict it upo...
