Owie the Jellyfish sting... was that during the horseback ocean ride or the falls trip? Yeah I was warned about the Jelly fish stings. Glad to hear you didn't have to get pee'd on. LOL

I wanted to stay at a private Villa (since most seem to enjoy then the resorts) but all booked up already for Xmas. Damn. Instead were gonna stay in Trelawny, which is about 40mins from Montego Bay and an 50mins to Oches Rios. I'm so excited! Curious.. were did you dive? Also do you remember what tour you took for the horseback in the Ocean? Did you really enjoy it? Did you get to do the swimming with the dolphins in Oches Rios, when you were checking out the falls?

I already booked the swimming with the dolphins. Glass bottom boat tour, water trampoline and Jungle tour. I would love to book the horseback riding in the ocean. So many tours to choose from though. So excited! This is gonna be my best Christmas ever! WooHoO!

Thanks for your reply! It seems most have a great time when they dont stay on the resorts. But Jamaica seems to be a place people love or hate. I guess I will have to report back in January, after I get back with some pictures for everyone.
I do have to agree with you as well, you have to watch out where ever you travel too. I was told there was a popular spot (Coco Bongo) club in Cancun that the bartender was accused of putting the date rap drug in womans drinks! YIKS!

The jelly fish was actually while swimming in Port Maria....it was at this really cool beach...but the time of day and water were perfect time for the jelly fish!

The horseback riding was actually a small "company" on the side of the road that our driver Winston was friends with. It was a hillside tour first and then in the ocean .....pretty amazing! I'll check with my Mom and brother to see if they remember any details on names.....we did the falls a different day...right by the falls is an amazing jerk chicken place....the jerk sausage was AMAZING!

Diving was with another friend of our drivers...give me a day or so to get ahold of my bro to get details (he lives in Beijing so has totally screwed up time zone!) It was an amazing dive....we actually did our first dive, then were offered a second dive at a reduced rate if we wanted (uh yeh!) and boy did that sell me on diving....we're planning our next trip around diving (and kids activities) it was amazing. The first dive we went around this shipwreck that was absolutely teaming with fish and life! Second dive was completely over a coral reef ...WOW! I wanted to do it again but we were flying out the next day so couldn't...it was a great Christmas Day activity.

Yes, they do "celebrate" Christmas....it was the most festive time! And people everywhere!

You're so lucky you get to swim with the Dolphins!!
