1. A Day Of House Visiting In Montego Bay
.....
Anyone who is interested in architecture and myth will love two houses that are situated in Montego Bay. One of them, the beautiful Rose Hall Great House is an 18th Century mansion that was started by one Englishman in the 1750s but completed by another in the 1770s. The other house, Greenwood Great House, is located a few miles east of Rose Hall and was completed in 1780 by yet another Englishman – this time one who has his right to call Elizabeth Barrett Browning cousin as his other claim to fame!
Both of these houses were plantation houses, but the owners had different ideas of how a plantation should be run. At Rose Hall, slaves destroyed the house in 1831 during the Christmas Rebellion. Greenwood on the other hand survived the Rebellion. The guides who take you around Greenwood will explain that Barrett, the owner of Greenwood was somewhat a little ahead of his time, and believed that slaves should be educated. His treatment of the slaves would be one of the reasons Greenwood is very much intact today – including much of the original library and artwork. Greenwood can’t claim all things good about its slavery however as one of the house exhibits is a man trap that was used to capture runaway slaves! Rose Hall can’t compete with the advanced thinking that occurred at Greenwood, but instead they have witchcraft and voodoo and ghosts to offer in the shape of the legend of Anne May Patterson, one time plantation wife.

2. A Travel To Jamaica First Aid Kit
.....
When traveling abroad it’s usually wise to take with you a basic first aid kit – nothing fancy, just a tin with a few bits and pieces that can help you out if you have an accident and need a temporary bandage or pain killer until you can locate where the nearest source of medical attention is. If you are traveling to Jamaica, or anywhere else in the Caribbean there are some other things that it might be useful to carry with you.
Some form of aspirin/Tylenol to help reduce fever or relieve headaches – or muscle strains from sports your body is unaccustomed to. If you know that you intend to take part in water sports or new activities you may want to consider a pain relieving cream (or spray if you can find one that isn’t aerosol based – airline regulations apply here!).

3. Accommodation In Kingston
.....
Finding a place of stay is definitely not a problem in Kingston. If you want to stay near the hustle and bustle of every day Jamaican life, find a place near Knutsford Boulevard. The Hilton Kingston Hotel and Jamaica Pegasus are two of the tallest hotels and are located right next to the main clubs. If you’re on a budget you may find the Knutsford Court Hotel has kinder prices! Just because it doesn’t cost you much doesn’t mean it leaves you with no amenities, this hotel offers a fitness room, game room, golf and is located in the heart of Kingston.
For a more quiet hotel you may want to book a room near the bottom of the Blue Mountains or over at the Courtleigh Hotel & Suites. They may look small from the outside but you’ll still find everything you need for a relaxing vacation. In fact, you’ll probably be so impressed that you reserve a room here for your next trip to Jamaica.
.....
4. All Inclusive
.....
If you are planning your vacation to Jamaica you need to create a budget for five main things: travel (including airport transfers), accommodation, meals, activities and souvenirs. The travel and accommodation should be easy to budget for as these will bet set out in the travel agents pricing, or the hotel’s website. Extras for airport transfers and optional features at the hotel however may require a credit card onto which an initially indeterminable amount will be charged later. Once you get to your destination, you will then need to local restaurants and activities that fall within your assigned budget, and probably end up using far more than you’d anticipated which will eat up the assigned non-essential souvenir shopping budget.
The best way around this is to choose an all-inclusive vacation. This will make your trip to Jamaica much more relaxed as all essential components of the holiday will be already paid for before you get there, so all you need financially is “pocket money” to spend on postcards and local craft souvenirs.

5. Annual Festivals In Jamaica
.....There are a number of annual festivals that take place in Jamaica. If you are interested in any of these, knowing when they occur may help you decide when to take your vacation.
The Annual Jamaica Ocho Rios International Jazz Festival: This year this jazz festival will be held in June and will celebrate 17 years of consistent artistic success, presenting the best of Jamaican musical talent and some of the most famous names in International Jazz. The past ten years have seen an emergence of a variety of 'Jazz Festivals', at home and abroad, and many other Caribbean festivals have adopted the innovative features first introduced by the Ocho Rios Jazz Festival. This festival is eagerly anticipated by both locals and tourists alike.
Annual Jamaica Spice Festival: In July, the Jamaica Tourist Board will again celebrate Jamaican cuisine with its premier food festival, Jamaica Spice, a one-day celebration showcasing all that Jamaica has to offer local and international Epicureans. The main highlights of Jamaica Spice will be the exhibition of traditional gourmet, processed foods, and delights that originate in Jamaica and are produced locally. Close to fifty exhibitors are expected to showcase their products including coffee, chutneys, meats, juices, rums & liqueurs, arts & crafts, fruits and candy. Lively cooking demonstrations will be conducted throughout the day by exhibitors, restaurateurs and local media personalities. There will be displays of contemporary Jamaican food products prepared by culinary experts who will be available for sale and public sampling. Food lovers look forward to this festival with great anticipation. If you intend to go to this and intend to bring some local flavor home, check what you’re allowed to bring through customs on your return before you go shopping at the festival!
Accompong Maroon Festival: This unusual festival is celebrated by the Maroons, who are the descendants of the slaves brought to Jamaica to work on the sugar plantations. Part of the festival involves a pig roast, in which black, male pigs are cooked in large pots. The whole community, including visitors, then eats the results – and, according to tradition, eating a mouthful of the succulent pork will bring you luck. This festival is held in January.
Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival: For ten years, the national airline has been sponsoring a lively musical event, featuring artists from all around the world, as well as popular Jamaican performers. Reggae is an important feature of the program, but there is also plenty of opportunity to listen to jazz and other types of music. This festival is held at Montego Bay in the month of January.

6. Are Drugs Prevalent In Jamaica
.....
Jamaica is a laid-back country. It’s a country of “chilling”. One of the reasons for this could be that it’s hard to avoid the abundance of marijuana – locally known as “Ganja”. Despite drugs being illegal in Jamaica, ganja and cocaine are relatively easy to obtain, and you may even find yourself being approached by street or beach hustlers who are hoping you could use a quick fix of one or the other!
There are two warnings for tourists when it comes to drugs. First of all, don’t buy them and don’t take them from anyone offering you a free smoke. Just avoid them completely! Tourist status, American passport and all, is not going to save you from an obligatory sightseeing tour of the inside of a probably overcrowded Jamaican cell! Even if they clear you of everything except using, you will still have had an experience you’d rather not remember. If they are able to charge you with anything more than using – then you could be facing gaol time in the local penitentiary. The Jamaican culture is known for its connection with drugs, but it’s not so well known for the tough penalties it gives out for those who are caught, so just avoid finding out the hard way and stay well clear of any drugs.

7. Around Kingston
.....
Kingston is full of activities for you to experience while you’re in Jamaica, from walking tours to festivals and from water sports to museums.
As far as festivities go the best way to find out what is going on is through the local daily paper, “The Gleaner” it’ll have a list of events going on while you are down there. In 2007 Kingston will be holding the Cricket’s World Cup, which is sure to bring in a lot of entertainment and tourists. March is a big month for festivals that’ll include a 3K walk, street dancing and then in April there’ll be a Road parade and a concert at the National stadium.

8. Bob Marley Nine Mile
.....
When visiting Jamaica’s beautiful Ocho Rios make sure you take some time out of your vacationing, water sporting, fun in the sun, and exciting nightlife partying to visit the Bob Marley Nine Mile, the community that helped shape the life and career of one of the most famous musicians of all time. Even if you’re not a particular fan of the man’s music, you’ll get a real sense of what he was about.
Many Bob Marley fans come to Ocho Rios specifically for this unparalleled experience. The quaint village of Nine Mile is nestled high in magnificent mountains of St. Ann, and serves not only as the birthplace of the legendary Reggae King (1945), but also where he was laid to rest in 1981. Fans of Marley have described the Nine Mile experience as one that allowed them to get more in touch with the musician’s roots, to understand the depths of his lyrics, and to come away from it feeling a renewed sense of faith about what’s most important in life.

9. Budget Jamaica Hotel Accommodation
.....
Going to Jamaica may seem like a dream outside of most people’s vacation finances, but it is possible to visit this beautiful island on a budget. The trick is to find the right kind of accommodation in the right area. Surprisingly there are a number of comfortable budget hotels on the island where you can get a good night’s sleep at very reasonable rates.
For example, the Blue Harbor Hotel situated in Montego Bay is a small hotel with 25 rooms designed especially for the honeymooning couples – putting Jamaica within your wedding budget. The Blue Harbor is located only a convenient 15 minute drive from the airport. The rooms available are usually large and air-conditioned with spacious balconies and telephones. You can enjoy lavish food from the restaurant which offers the best cuisine from all over the world.
.....
10. Couples Only
.....
If you’re a couple looking for the perfect holiday destination, Jamaica is a great choice. With miles and miles of beautiful beaches, romantic ambience and great food the real world may seem over half a world away.
Many of the hotels in Jamaica are classily designed to create a relaxing atmosphere for your vacation, and some of them are exclusive to couples only so you’ll find the emphasis is on romance rather than kids’ clubs and nightly singles specials!
.....
11. Diving Into Jamaica
.....
Diving into the waters off the Jamaican shore may sound very exotic, and can be a lot of fun for both the beginner and the seasoned diver. For anyone who wants to be a little more adventurous than snorkeling there’s a world to explore beneath the ocean, but if you don’t have diving experience, you need to consider taking a class before you get into the water. In some areas such as Ocho Rios, Montego Bay and Negril, the popular diving areas do tend to get booked up in high season so make sure of your place by making your reservation as soon as you can into your vacation (or before if this is at all possible in the area you are going to stay).
One of the most magical experiences you could take home from your vacation in Jamaica is to have dived to 30 or even up to 150 ft below the ocean’s surface. There you will see not only fish, but also both hard and soft corals and sponges in their natural environment. Once thing you mustn’t do however is to remove anything. There are some very strict restrictions in place in Jamaica that prevent anyone taking anything to the surface that belongs below the water – in certain areas, your diving guide may even tell you that touching things in the ocean is forbidden either for your safety or the safety of the wildlife.
.....
12. Dos And Donts Spring Break
.....
Deciding to take your Spring Break in Jamaica could be the start of a holiday of a lifetime, but there are some things that you need to keep in mind to ensure that you stay safe but still have a great time.
DO make sure that your parents know where you’re going to be staying, who you are traveling with, have contact information and a rough idea of what you’ll be doing there – especially any places you intend to visit. You should also make sure that you give your home contact information (such as parents names, address and phone numbers) to at least 2 of the people you are traveling with in case they need to be contacted.
.....
13. Fishing In Jamaica
.....
The hardest part about fishing in Jamaica is knowing exactly what it is you want to fish! From little fish, to big fish, from standing on shore with a line, to hiring a boat with spear fishing facilities, you’ll find it all – so the first thing to do to find a spot to fish in is to identify what it is you want to fish! All along Jamaica’s beautiful coastline – and just off it – you’ll find fish big and small, so what’s your pleasure?
Although finding a fishing hole isn’t difficult, finding a boat that falls within your budget might be! You’re a tourist and as such, you’re easy pickings for the locals who hire out their boats to holiday makers. Unless your hotel has some local arrangement, or their own vessels for hire, you are at the mercy of the locals and so should anticipate paying well above the going rate if you want to hire a boat. You could also investigate if there are any local boat chartering companies you could use instead – the advantage of this is that even if you have to pay a similar price to what the locals would charge, at least you are assured of the boat being sea-worthy and equipped for the kind of trip you’re planning.
.....
14. Getting Around On Your Vacation To Jamaica
.....
Shuttle buses are the best way of getting around. If you’re undecided between two or more hotels with similar features and prices, choose the one with the largest shuttle service! Public transportation in the form of buses is cheap and cheerful – but it may be too crowded and the driving a bit erratic for most tourists.
Your hotel should provide either an airport shuttle, or a shuttle to a scheduled airport shuttle drop off point. Once you get to your hotel, you will then need to find out how other tourists get to see the wonders that Jamaica has to offer. Hotels may, for instance, offer a scheduled bus service for certain tourist attractions. Some attractions/restaurants even offer a shuttle to collect you from your hotel (make sure they bring you back also!). For some other areas, you may need to hire a cycle for a day. For others, you might prefer to hire car, or take a taxi – communal or private. Whether it’s a cycle or a car, it has to go on the road and so you need to be very aware of the other drivers who are using the road! You also need to be aware that looking at a map that shows an “A” road, doesn’t mean that it will be up to the standard of “A” roads back home – it does however mean that it will have less potholes than a “B” road.
.....
15. Golfing On Your Trip To Jamaica
.....
One of the most popular activities for vacations these days is golf, and just because you’re going to Jamaica doesn’t mean that you have to trade your clubs in for a diving suit. There are quite a number of good quality golf courses available for you to use during your holiday through the island. Here are just a few of them:
The most spectacular new golf course in Jamaica has to be the White Witch Golf Course situated in Montego Bay as part of the Ritz Carlton Rose Hall Resort. Here you’ll find top quality service with everything from caddies to golf equipment – and someone (the white witch herself) to blame for all the lost balls and over pars! This course isn’t for the beginner however, it’s more rugged than most, but if you’re looking for a challenge a round or two here will certainly make your vacation memorable.
.....
16. Green Grotto Caves
.....
One of the locations used in the James Bond movie, Live and Let Die, the Green Grotto Caves located just outside of Discovery Bay are of interest not only to Bond fans, but also to people who are interested in the history of Jamaica, and also those who have a passion for natural beauty. Be warned however, to see this attraction you will have to walk downwards on centuries old steps, so anyone with mobility issues should discuss their situation with the guide before starting down to the cave.
As you descend the steps down into the caves to marvel at the stalactites that hang somewhat precariously from the roof of the cave, take a look at the artwork. This was created by the pre-Columbia Arawaks. Over the centuries the caves have become a refuge for many different types of people, from the Spanish who used it as a place to hide from the British in the 17th Century to the slaves who managed to escape their owners in the 18th. More recently smugglers taking guns into Cuba have used the caves as a hideaway!

17. High End Hotel Accommodation In Jamaica
.....
Jamaica is an amazingly diverse island paradise which makes it a perfect tourist destination for people on all budgets, and there are many luxury hotels and resorts in Jamaica to cater to those on the high end of the tourist spectrum.
The Half Moon Rose Hall in Montego Bay is one such high end hotel. This paradise-like resort is designed to help you feel as if you are a half moon away from the outside world. This is a premier resort which has attracted tourists for more than 50 years. It has approximately 400 acres of lovely beaches in it’s grounds and you can visit the dolphin lagoon which is exclusively for the Half Moon’s guests. The hotel also boasts a world class spa and fitness centre, 4 squash courts, 51 swimming pools and also a golf course.
.....
18. Honeymooning In Jamaica
.....
When you are making a list of possible honeymoon destinations, Jamaica has to be near the top of your list. With so many romantic possibilities, Jamaica is a Caribbean island that just calls out to couples!
For most newlyweds, the honeymoon is a time for really getting to know each other without the demands and stresses of everyday life. What better place than Jamaica for this? With its naturally slower pace of life, it’s the perfect setting to forget the chores and tasks related to the workday blues, and concentrate on what’s really important – the start of a new life together.
.....
19. Horse Riding On Your Vacation To Jamaica
.....
When you think about taking a vacation in Jamaica, images of golden or white sand and clichéd crystal blue-green oceans and lagoons come to mind. You imagine yourself sun-bathing, meeting Bob Marley’s relatives on the 9-Mile excursion, dancing the night away with other tourists at some kind of Americanized reggae club – but have you considered that you could just as easily be spending some of your time really immersing yourself in the Jamaican landscape, really getting back to nature? You could do this by reserving yourself a place on one of the island’s horse riding tours.
Of course you could simply take a horse riding lesson, and perhaps a slow canter down to the beach – but wouldn’t you rather experience something a little deeper than that? There are specialized horse tour companies on Jamaica that offer a variety of different packages (including the simple riding lesson option!) to suit all kinds of abilities, skills and interests. You can join a group tour that lasts for only a few hours, or if you’re wanting something a little more private – perhaps as part of your honeymoon, you can hire a guide and have a tour that’s just for you and your partner.
.....
20. How Safe Are Women Traveling Alone In Jamaica
.....
Whether women travel alone, or with a partner, the first thing that they need to be aware of – and if they aren’t before they arrive, it won’t take long for them to learn – is that women are not generally respected by Jamaican men. They may find that they have “admirers” but a quick dip into the local community will show how much real respect is attached to the admiration!
Women tourists who travel alone need to be extra vigilant about personal security and make sure that they know what areas of the place they are staying are relatively safe for tourists – especially women – and which aren’t. They should always make sure that someone knows where they are going if they are leaving the hotel grounds, and they should make sure that they don’t stand out from the crowd too much.
