Jamaican Me Crazy - Day 1

  • Arrived in Montego Bay at 11:30 a.m. after leaving L.A. at 10 p.m. the previous night. Immediately upon stepping outside the terminal we were offered weed. Welcome to Jamaica, mon!
  • Took shuttle to Negril and checked into Coco La Palm hotel on the beautiful Seven Mile Beach.
  • Ate delicious jerk sausage, jerk pork, and rice and peas at the hotel beach bar w/ fellow tourists.
  • Traipsed up and down the beach, stopping frequently for a dip in the warm, yet refreshing, Caribbean Sea. Stopped at Margaritaville to play on the restaurant's floating trampolines with some local kids.
  • Stopped to "hang out" at a bar on the way back for some rum punch -- we were delighted to learn that Jamaican bartenders don't skimp on the alcohol!
  • Dined on lovely curry conch and steamed fish on the beach near our hotel.

  • Drank more rum punch at the hotel beach bar while listening and dancing to the live Reggae band -- nice evening treat and a fun way to end a great first day.
