Jamaica, Mon...

Yes, we spent this past weekend in Jamaica. Although it was a very short trip, we did quite a bit. Thursday was mostly travel, but we did get to enjoy a the resort a bit by having dinner in the "fancy" restaurant. On Friday, we headed out to the beach for the day. It was a great beach with many trees to hang out under to avoid the sun -- something both of us needed to do. In the afternoon, we headed out on a large catamaran for a sunset cruise with everyone who was there for the wedding -- about 30 in all. We were able to go snorkeling and cliff jumping while on the cruise. Yes, I (Holli) was crazy enough to try the cliff jumping -- much to Chris' dismay -- but he didn't let me know this until AFTER I did it. Saturday was the wedding in the afternoon, but we got up "early" to get out to the beach by 9:00 AM -- that's early in Jamaica -- to go parasailing. WHAT A BLAST! That was one of the best parts of the trip. The ocean was clear and beautiful. The landscape was beautiful. I would do that every day if I could. After that, we just hung out on the beach all day -- rough -- until we had to get ready for the wedding. Sunday was pretty much just another travel day.



This is us parasailing -- it was great!

Here's Holli's cliff jump.

This is our "hut". The building had two rooms that shared a central stairway. Each room had a balcony on each end of the hut.

It looks like you made the most of your few days! What a beautiful place! I can not believe you Cliff jumped! You would NEVER find me any where near a cliff that I would have to jump off!! You are a brave woman! I am glad you were able to get away and have a great time! Lis
