Ray & Courtneys Honeymoon

Ray & Courtneys HoneymoonMay 20-25th, 2013

JamaicaGENERAL DESCRIPTIONJamaica's rich history stretches back beyond the 15th century, and includes the settlements of the gentle Arawak Indians (who named the island Xaymaca), Spanish mariners, English conquerors, and Asian migrants, all of whom added to the multi-ethnic heritage of this Caribbean island. Modern Jamaica is the land of reggae and rum, wearing a mantle of roughshod romance that attracts travelers the world over looking to escape the routine of daily life. The landscape is a mosaic of palmed golden beaches and a beautiful mountainous interior.Once the crown jewel of the British sugar empire, its coastal plains and lofty jungles are still dotted with colonnaded mansions, thriving plantations, and ruins of others that did not survive the slave rebellions. Many of the remaining mansions are now opulent inns flanked not only by the sugar fields, but also by golf courses, while the beaches that once harbored ruthless, notorious pirates now harbor vacationers seeking the perfect tan. And you'll note that music is the heartbeat of Jamaica; nearly everywhere you go you feel its rhythm pulsing through the air, the marketplaces, through the locals and, soon enough, through you. For vacationers with a free and festive spirit, Jamaica is your place to shine!

JamaicaJamaica is a tropical island with a mountainous interior and, along with the rest of the West Indian archipelago, is a part of the summit of a string of underwater mountains. The lofty interior mountains contain over 120 rivers, many waterfalls, and thermal springs. The landscape varies from the beach-ringed, semi-tropical rainforests of the north, to a flat and arid south. Limestone makes up most of the underlying terrain, with dozens of caves that store and naturally filter large water reservoirs.Tropical weather dominates the coast, with a more temperate interior climate. Jamaica is sunny year-round, but you may have a few rain showers from spring through autumn. Hurricane season lasts from late August to early November, though strikes are rare and then only last an average of 2 days, with plenty of advance notice to prepare. The mountains can get cool enough to require a light sweater, especially in winter.Winter Average 75Summer Average 80Language SpokenEnglish and Jamaican Patois, the lively dialect of Jamaican Creole English. Water: It's usually safe to drink the water, which is filtered and chlorinated. Nonetheless, to be on the safe side, drink bottled water whenever possible.Safety: Kingston has a crime problem so, if you choose to go there, take common sense precautions and remain alert to your surroundings.Departure Tax: You will be charged a US$27 departure tax at the airport, payable either in US or Jamaican dollars. The Jamaican exchange equivalent for this tax is J$1,000.

Negril, JamaicaSituated along Seven Mile Beach, this is one of the best strands of sandy beach on the island, and is known for its carefree atmosphere. The pace is slow, with very little shopping or nightlife. Still, there has been a boom in hotel construction that converted Negril from a hippie hideaway in the 60s and early 70s into a mainstream tourist destination good for families, singles, and couples alike.
