"I did - and I'm not an "oldster" by any way, shape or form. Probably around the same age as you Tim as far as I can tell from your pix...granted I was fairly young on my first trip"
Well 30 yrs ago would put me in junior high school. Back then my parents sure didn't have the money to bring us to the caribbean. The one big vacation we ever did was a trip to Disneyland around that time. Obviously if you were travelling to Jamaica at 14 your family had alot more resources than mine.
Anyways, why not post some photos of yourself? You have made the decision we are about the same age by my pictures, well show yourself!
