(269,157 posts)Over the Christmas holidays we'd sit on the beach and watch these massive ships come and go from Ocho Rios.
We'd keep our asses parked and not drive into town for fear of traffic - now the roads are clear.

(269,157 posts)We stay further down the coast away from the town - closer to Mammee Bay. I've never been a Trelawny fan -love Negril, and Portland. I love Doctor's Cave beach for swimming but can't handle Mobay - if you could just plant me on the beach I'd stay there all day.

Then I got super sick on election day and didn't return to work until May.
My kids thought I really did move to Jamaica
what do you think of Dunnes Riverfalls?
We climbed it once and it was awesome
malaise
(269,157 posts)The thing is once the ships are in, we stayed put because all the tourists are heading to the falls and the traffic doesn't move. We have friends in Portland so we go used to go to Reach quite often back in the day. Much less traffic in that area.

(269,157 posts)Time for the locals to enjoy their town . I have no doubt that we'll be offered some nice cheap rates for the hotels and town houses on the beaches for the rest of this year.
