Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa Montego Bay

... braids and finally an offer of some weed!

One such conversation we will never forget though. Craig and I were swimming at Doctors Cave and were about neck deep in water when suddenly a local guy popped up with goggles on his head. The conversation went something like this:

Diver: Yah mon, I'm a diver. Welcome to Jamaica.
Us: Thanks!
Diver: So you wanna buy some shells? These are special shells that never age mon.
Us: No thanks ...

... schedule through out the week based on demand, Please check with the restaurant reservation desk after you check-in. I wanted so badly to eat at Luna de Mare but it was closed on Sunday night. To my delight I dined in Three Palms Restaurant, a beautiful setting until it started raining and the RAIN BUG came out – (You don’t want to know). The restaurant did an amazing job of moving everyone inside.

A few pointers – The Gold All-inclusive ...

... If you get lucky, you'll have a chance to hear Rory Frankson, an upcoming Jamaican classical music singer, who performs weekly at different Sandals resorts. When I was first told that Sandals hired Rory to perform classical and opera, I was a little skeptical, but it works and the guests rave about him. He's now a close friend, and I would encourage you to get to know him.

... good Muslims that they are, will never give up, always trying to regain turf that they've been forced to cede over to modern antiseptic societies. They probably will. It's just a paradigm shift. In their world view we work for them, giving them shelter and transportation in return for some time on Earth. At least we can understand bacteria; they're like us. Viruses are another story. They're like another dimension, DNA in a condom and nothing ...

... 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 ...

... mix of heavy industry in the city cent** is a bit of an eyesore, and the country is densely populated compared to the oth**s. I hear the beaches are okay. Barbados is classic Caribbean, ging**bread houses and fancy resorts, blue skies and sandy beaches, not like the muddy ones you find on the north**n coast of the continent. When I'm feeling beachy, this is what I dream of. Georgetown and Guyana also has some nice spots but the ov**all ...

We purchased the Chukka horseback ride'n swim in Montego Bay, they also have a website. Our children had never been horseback riding and although we can horseback here in Canada the age restrictions are higher. Here kids can horseback starting at 6 years old. The bus picked us up at the hotel, the bus driver told us little stories and pointed out interesting things along the way. It was a good way to see parts of Jamaica you mostly wouldn't ...

... to the UK in one hit - we had to refuel in Gander, Canada - adding 2 hours to the journey and waking us up mid-journey! Gander was -3 degrees and snowy - on a Caribbean trip we had to get the plane de-iced!! Pilot opened to door beside us to check on his wings - what a wonderful blast of fresh air!! - The a300 was smaller than the intended plane - down to narrower seats with less seat height we hardly slept. - The aircon was not working properly - we were ...

... excited the night before and didn't get any sleep. But I was running on pure adrenaline and retold the story a hundred times to coworkers and my boss.....who had to approve last minute vacation time for me. hahaha. **************** Skip forward 2 weeks...........July 21 and its my day to leave!!!! I'm traveling with a long-time friend of mine, Debbie. We've known each other for 20 years, and I can't believe how hard it was to find someone to go on a FREE ...

... a beach holiday shouldn't aggravate it. We stayed about halfway down Montego Bay's 'Hip Strip', which contained a few overpriced eateries, and a terrific fast-food style jerk speciality place called the 'Pork Pit'. Downtown Montego Bay is best avoided at all costs any time after 6 pm at night, for safety reasons alone, but it was pleasant enough to stroll around the city area in the daytime, and take in the full ...
