Jamaica ya mon!

Yes the locals say ya mon after EVERYTHING.....annoying?

We flew to Jamaica on Saturday morning after returning to Chicago on late Thursday morning.  We had already planned this weekend trip as a part of our southwest companion pass ticket before I decided to leave my job and travel.  So no, going to Jamaica wasn't a part of the world tour but I guess you could say it kind of fit into place!  We went with no plans except to relax!  The saying is true sometimes you need a vacation from a vacation.

We stayed on Negril beach which apparently from many sources here and people we met there is the best beach and most beautiful in Jamaica.  I'm by far a beach snob, but after spending last years holidays over thanksgiving in the Caribbean and going to Grenada, Barbados, st. Kitts, st. Lucia, st. Vincent, and Antigua I'd have to disagree!  My take on Jamaica is party and party for old people and cheap accessible weed (and a lot of American tourists).  Will I return to Jamaica, maybe?  Would I go to st. Lucia or any of the above again from last years trip, most certainly!  And it's very expensive there!!

Now I sit in Chicago - we have Wednesday , Thursday and part of Friday before we embark on that one way trip to global world tour.  I'm just so excited and thankful that I have the means to do this!!
