Trip with the cousins - Jamaica

Our third and final stop on the cruise was Montego Bay, Jamaica. We went to a beach club for the day on recommendation from BIL#2's friend from work. It was a nice place, not as many amenities as the beach in Cozumel, but it was nice.

DH & I came to Jamaica before to run a half marathon with S#2 & BIL#2. We got in a van and were driven from the airport to the resort.  We left only to run the race, and stayed the rest of the time on the nice compound of the resort. I now realize that the resort protected us from the multitude of Jamaicans asking us to buy stuff, braid our hair, buy more stuff, eat their food, look at their stuff, braid our hair, and buy more stuff . They blocked you walking down the street, they came up to you while lounging in a chair on the beach, they even approached you while floating in the water (he was the Water salesman, he said it was his schtick). Although the beach was nice, the water was nice, the reef was nice, I didn't like the experience that much. I would go back to Jamaica but I would go to a resort.
