Hey Everyone!
I am a recovering Jamaicaholic. I first visited Trelawny in 1978 and returned the following year for a rather crazy & memorable trip with my brother to Negril. And the rest they say is history. I am proud to be a member of the infamous Negril Map Team along with Ohliz, Rastagirl777, BrenJaLee and a few others. Recently I have become discouraged with the way things have changed on the island with the direction of tourism development and increased numbers of opportunists. There is an uneasy feeling about the runnings now that did not exist for many years. The more I have learned the more discouraged I have become. So I started going to the Puerto Vallarta area where I have friends who live there year round. Although I prefer the 'original' Negril vibe (I know Ohliz, I can hear you now saying try Treasure Beach), I haven't written Jamaica off, and will likely return sometime in the future. For something a little different I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Tulum next winter with another couple. So for the time being I'm feeling more at ease in Mexico and hope to eventually retire there when I win the lottery. This photo is taken in the marina district just north of PV.
