Thats funny, i was gonna ask if they were ur kids!!

Loved reading your travel diary!
I noticed too that smokes were 3 times what they were 4 years ago!
It was pouring rain when we got to JA this time but very sunny when we left which made it so hard to leave.
His kids are gorgeous! You look so happy together - it must be very hard to leave.

Its always hard to leave...and not just because of them but because it really is home for me....where i am the happiest and most content

I was just saying that to my co-worker - that the happiest times in my life were in Jamaica.

Ok reading this from the beginning and making a few notes as I go.......

Totally hear you on negril, it’s never been my favourite place… I do like to party there in the summer and enjoyed my wedding, but it’s not a place I will ever love… sorry negril fans!

Santa cruz, now there’s a place I could love… can buy anything there

and it’s actually kinda pretty… we talked about it when we pass thru last time and said that if it wasn’t so hot, we could live there

Cave Valley… I had some of that yam

Milk river… the flood was in the gleaner… I’ll dig up the pics, hubby sent them to me saying it could have been us! we were down in milk river for the day on the 15th... it started raining on the 16th and we left clarendon the next day, it apparently rained for a few days and then started flooding around the 18th or there abouts

Portland… the raft guy was partially right.. blue lagoon was where the tom cruise movie was filed, but not the movie “blue lagoon’ itself… they tell everyone that apparently tho

it is beautiful and those villas are beautiful.. there’s a small, really cute one that’s actually relatively reasonably priced… well, it's under 200 a night... not bad compared to some that are thousands a night...

from the little I see in your pics, the roads in Portland do look GREAT… last I went they were old Portland roads which were scary… pot holes that had dogs sleeping in them and crap… did you get past PA over toward manchioneal? Curious how far the road has been laid that way… looks like boston bay in a couple of those pics, so I guess you might have… how were the roads? (and just read that it boston)

alligator pond on southcoast from Portland? Wow, maybe someone who likes driving more than me… never been, it (and gut river) are on my “list”… how was it?

ahhhh hellshire…

if someone can tell me how to get there without going thru portmore, I’d love it more

great pics and story…. Everyone looks so happy!… thanks for sharing….

Great trip report. I really enjoyed the pics especially the ones of the kids. They must have had a good time going around the island.

damswell · #72 (**permalink**) 06-27-2009, 09:59 PM
