Negril, Jamaica – Part 1

Posted by Troy On May - 21 - 2009


The plane ride. It was really great. We had some turbulence flying into Montego Bay but it was breathtaking at any rate. I took a bunch of pics from the window of the plane for the kids because I knew Owen would just be tickled pink. He was. I told him we flew above the clouds. His reaction: “No way!!!”…

I have to say that flying over the ocean was a religious experience. NO… I was not praying for my life… I just looked out that window and thought… WOW. It struck me how beautiful the sky was and how amazingly small the island of Cuba was below me. I thought to myself of how God must feel awed by His creation. How He must sit and watch us all and marvel at how amazing He is. I marveled at how amazing He is and the breathtaking glory of it all brought me to tears a few times. Watching sunset on the beach, flying 1000’s of miles, watching a couple start their new life together… one amazing trip!

I am ready to go back!
On the Swept Away beach in Negril… Troy and I enjoying the sunset (which happens rather fast btw… its there and gone in about 10 minutes!)


I had to take a pic. There was no McDonald’s to be found but boy they had the KFC! The Jamaicans were also rather amused by the fact that we hailed from the land of Kentucky Fried Chicken! LOL


Our resort room veranda… I could have stayed there the rest of my life. The hammock, the sleeping porch, the view of nothing but palms and native flora… breathtaking.


A pic from the window of our CRAZY taxi ride. Montego Bay is about an hour from Negril so we rode a taxi to the other side of the island which subsequently made 1 stop for Red Stripe (local beer) and two stops to pick up locals. It was an adventure!
