Hi Andrea,

A hearty congratulation on your golden years!. That's what they say - (10 is tin, 25 silver and 50 gold etc.)

Good for you though.

The best spot depends on what type of activity (or lack of it) you are expecting.

Negrili for example is always have a buzz, Montego Bay - been the tourist capital (and Ocho Rios) also have lots of tours, sightseeing etc.

Take a look at this page.

In terms of getting to Spanish Town, it really doesn’t' matter where you are, remember Jamaica is just about 146 miles from one end of the island to the other.

Here are some tips about how to choose your Jamaican tour guide.

Again, I wish you the very best Andrea.
Do enjoy!
