Sunny Skies, Blue Water and Sandy Beaches!!

Though I am not through blogging about the holiday season I just had to share news of our upcoming trip.

Last year Adam and I took an adults only trip to Mexico. It was understood, by Natasha (Ashley did not really understand), that the next holiday would include the whole family.

We have been looking and trying to decide where to go. We did not want to go back to Mexico quite yet. We decided against the Dominican Republic. We had settled on Cuba but kept looking for other options.

While searching one night a fantastic deal to Jamaica popped up. We look at the reviews, what the hotel had to offer, things to do in the area, etc. We were pretty happy with what we saw but decided to sit for a couple of days. I woke up one morning to try and book and as my luck would have it the trip was registering, SOLD OUT. I tried later that morning with success and immediately booked. For the same price to the other all inclusive locations (Mexico, Cuba, etc) we are headed to Jamaica. There must have been a huge seat sale as a week before and a week after our departure date the price is nearly doubled.

So we leave for Jamaica at the end of January for a wonderful week. I am planning on packing a suitcase full of stuff to leave for the locals. I posted on a parenting website (LP) that I was looking for donations and many members have stepped up. I have been reading that Jamaicans graciously accept anything so I am happy to recycle some things that may end up in the trash. For those interested I am looking for kids books, toys, clothes, etc. Adults like hats, tshirts, magazines, etc. The kids both are paying fares so they each have the same weight allowances as adults which makes filling another suitcase easy.

Anyway I am attaching links for those interested in snooping. One link is of the resort and the others are of attractions in and around our resort. We are all very excited!!!
