I agree BC (YD?).... I have a definite love/hate relationship with Jamaica.

Van, you speak great truth in safety issues being everywhere. I guess I see the difference is that the Mexico tourist destinations understand that we are their bread and butter, and if we are happy and safe, they are happy and reap the benefits. In the end, I am a traveler - a tourist in another country on vacation. I want my vacation to be restful and stressless, which I used to feel in JA, but not so much anymore. I don't want to stay in an AI in order to feel safe. It was wonderful to see everyone working on Isla, and to see them smiling and welcoming us. They made a decision to count their blessings in living in a place people want to vacation in, and in turn keeping the nonsense to a minimum. The first picture is after a heavy rain... only one day...we ducked into a bar and watched the goings on. The last is taken from our balcony. See the red starfish? There were 3 hanging around that day

"The coast from Big Sur up to north of S.F. is just incredible"
Probably the most beautiful drive on the planet - period.

Ha - Wendy! That is my bathing suit!
I don't have many pictures -I tend to point out things and let Dread do the snapping.
Sunset from the Bally Hoo - where we sipped on frozen strawberry margaritas and enjoyed scallop/shrimp Seviche and Guacamole.
Dread stops to pose while shooting another incredible view from our hotel
One of our favorite breakfast spots. I love the tables filled with sand and shells
Bobo - Jabailey and Dreadneck - we are off to explore the island
Time to try Tix'n xic - a Mayan style of cooking the fish- we heard this is the place to go-
This was my favorite fish dish on the island - rubbed with achiote grilled in banana leaves - this huge filet was less then $10.00 US
I loved the faucets at that restaurant
I had to take a foot shot - we didnt get in a lot of beach time - it was pretty windy and chilly most of the week -
Reading "The Help" after all my book downloading, I only managed to read about 100 pages total..... I was too busy having fun!
Smile!
