    Traveled to Montego Bay, Jamaica

    Back in 2015 I went to Jamaica for Sumfest. It was 2 of my aunts and 1 of my brothers. It was my first trip to Jamaica and also my first trip with them. Everyone had their own room, and it was an adult resort called Secret wild orchids. When we went there it was so nice. We went at perfect timing. We went for 7 days so I knew we were going to be there awhile and be able to enjoy a nice margarita, nice water and relax.

    We went to a couple places while we were here. We went to Margaritaville, which was nice and we got our dance on. We also went to Rick’s Café, Bob Marley Park, and all over. My aunt has friends there so they took us around to see the high class, mid class and poor class. If you don’t know what Sumfest is, it’s when a lot of people come and perform with a lot of reggae artists. We got a chance to meet Beenie man, Jesse Royal, Common and his band. The people were so nice. The Resort had about 7 or more different food places, club on the resort. We were by two other resorts, so it seemed combined. Everyone kind of did their own thing but we did do family dinners and things like that together. I love the water, so I stayed in the pool and beach relaxing with my Pina Colada lol.  The Resort was fantastic, no kids, all adults.

    I definitely have to go back but if you have never been please go and have fun it’s nice and worth the trip. The money value is different there, so it was cheaper to get things. I wish I would have started travelling earlier but as the saying goes better late than never. I like actually going to the resorts for vacations. You get so much more. Everything is included into your package: the meals, drinks, and other things they have. Trust me it’s a big difference.

    Q. A Trip you can’t forget

    I would say a trip I can’t forget. Was when I went to Jamaica with my family. I have never been on a trip with family as an adult, only with friends. This was my first time in Jamaica. It was really beautiful. We stayed 7 days all inclusive adults no kids. It had over 7 spots to eat at the resort, the clubs, and the water was beautiful. Everyone had their own room. I met so many people at the resort. I am not a big drinker but those Bob Marleys, and pina coladas were so good. I love swimming.

    We got together as a family but the majority of the time everyone did their own thing. We went to Margaritaville, It was also Sun fest, we saw Bennie Man, Common and his band and one of the band members played me a song. I also saw Jesse Royal, another Jamaican artist and his crew.

    Sunfest is when they have a big concert at Bob Marley Park they stay up all night outside partying. I ended up getting a headache with the drinks and the horns and music. I had a great time. It was a really exciting time. A much needed trip and from then on I have been traveling every year.

    Jamaica is beautiful. It has bad spots but everywhere you go have the good and bad. Just a beautiful trip I will not forget.
