My wife and I were married in June of 2010.
We choose Jamaica because we wanted something tropical, and everyone who we knew that had been on a cruise with a port call to Jamaica told us that this island is the one they would most like to return to.
This was a double treat for me because I had never been out of the states.
We landed in Montego Bay and immediately felt more relaxed. Getting through customs was a breeze, everyone was most helpful.
We stayed at the Sandals Resort in Ocho Rios, so after gathering our luggage, we boarded a tour bus for the hour and a half ride to the resort.
About 45 minutes into the trip, our bus broke down....we were told that it could be another 2 hours before another bus could pick us up.
So, here we are, stranded on the side of the road, somewhere between MoBay and Ocho Rios...with twenty or so other couples. Too bad you say? Not really!
We broke down in front of a local rum bar called Girley's Bar and Restaurant. My wife and I thought it was the coolest thing, I mean, you're in Jamaica, just enjoy the experience!
We got to experience a little of the real Jamaica, right off the bat, and unless you go off the resort, you don't get to do that!
Our bus finally came, and we boarded for the rest of the ride. Our bus driver was most knowledgeable about the area pointing out areas of interest.
We finally arrived at the resort and got settled in. Our luggage was in the room before we were. To be honest, we never touched our luggage except to pack and unpack. The resort was great and the people there were most helpful.
Of course you expect that at resorts, so we decided to go off the resort again to really experience the people. Jamaicans are beautiful people!!
We went shopping at some of the
