Trip to Jamaica

A nice place for vacation!!!

Just back from a 10-day vacation to the wonderful island of Jamaica! Ya Mon!

Stayed at the Sandals resort, which was ok, not great! Room AV/AC was not working properly so all clothing got damp. Ugh! Food was average. Wine was Robert Mondavi Twin Oaks, about $8.50/bottle. Below average. I thought lunches were hard to get as most restaurants were crowded and slow. Several times it took 45-50 minutes to get meal.

The servers were very good. Special recognition to Andrewnique, Javel, and Ishmael.

During the stay, we re-connected with a lovely couple from Houston. Young people. It was Karma that their room was next-door. N and V are all class!

The highlight of our stay was meeting a crazy woman from Florida and her tolerant husband. She kept us entertained with her various stories and antics. She adopted one of the resort’s feral cats and allowed the cat to sleep in their bed! B and B were great. I hope we see them again.

Covid testing was required to re-enter the US. The resort provided that service. And Global Entry went well. No waiting!!! Returned to see masses of illegals crossing our southern border without testing. That situation is wrong and very dangerous!
