... gift shops, bars, restaurants and taxis. One of the bars there is the Bobsled Bar which is famous as it contains the first original Jamaican Bobsled from the 1988 Winter Olympics. <br><br>Montego Bay has some incredible beaches, the best of them being Doctors Cave. A short strip of white sand with trees and palm trees and the perfect clear Caribbean sea lapping on the sand... They have some floating trampolines out on the water and its great for ...

Sandals Montego Bay...<br>Some great things never change!<br><br><br>Way back in 1994 my wife Karie and I spent 8 wonderful nights at Sandals Montego Bay for our Honeymoon. A young couple lured in by glossy pictures and glittery advertising, we somehow found our way to Jamaica. What is even more interesting though, is that we found our way back to Sandals Montego Bay 5 more times. <br><br><br>Sandals Montego Bay gets ...

... this travel blog then it'll definitely continue on TravelPod at http://www.travelpod.com/members/hardie k where I'll eventually tell the stories of all my travel both past present and future, at least until I reach the official UN total of 192 countries. The Thailand-to-Timbuktu blog may revert to its earlier trial role as a world music mouthpiece for promotion and criticism. World music is a worthwhile cause that needs all the help it can get. Stay tuned.

... have to transfer at Lucea. That's a lot of hassle just to go look at another geek-ass tourist resort. What am I going to do with seven miles of beach? If I could run naked down it that'd be different, but I doubt that's the case. That's the first thing I did the very first out-of-country trip I took over thirty years ago to Yucatan. I ran down a deserted beach naked. The rest is history; now I look for simpler pleasures. That's the nice ...

... Downtown c**tainly isn't, what with its dark murky streets. Barbados might rock out, but it wasn't obvious from my vantage point. John Barleycorn and I have a deal that I don't drink unless th**e's something else in the off**, so my obs**vations are mostly just that, and from a distance. For transportation Trinidad wins hands-down with a t**minal and buses with signs, real civilized, not that I actually went anywh**e. The two ...

... you go elsewhere. We arrived just in time for our kids to pickup a few things from the crafters at our resort who show case there crafts twice a week. Amanda bought a custom made summer outfit for $25.00. She picked out the style first, which was a halter like top with cropped pants that looked like a dress. The very nice seamstress took her measurements then Amanda picked out the fabric. We paid the seamstress and she told us to come ...

Arrived in Montego Bay this morning after a 3.5 hour bus ride on the Knutsford Express. It wasn't as bumpy as I expected and the quick stop in Ocho Rios gave me a few minutes to catch a local soccer match. The Ocho Rios "Rock Stars" were playing the MoBay "Playaz". O.K., I made that part up...but there was a local soccer match going down. These guys have got some serious skillz. Too bad I'm ...

... road a ways we pull into the Ritz, it looks super nice even if I'm not a fan of resorts. Hell, its free - who am I to complain? The promoter gets us checked in and a bellman shows us to our room. When we walked the room was fairly impressive, the bathroom was super impressive! The large patio door opens onto the most beautiful courtyard I've ever seen, even though we did phone the front desk to see if we could switch to a seaview room. There were none ...

... and take in the full flavour of its Caribbean city appeal. One huge downpour of rain resulted in cars floating around in the town centre, which made the place look spooky, and it was good to discover that a 5 minute walk further up from the payable Doctor's Cove beach was a stretch of beach equally enjoyable, minus the full extent of facilities, but cost-free, and the kind of beach with which I would associate a Caribbean ...
