Jamaican Sunset

Jamaican Sunset

My husband and I took a brief childless trip to the adults-only, all-inclusive Couples Negril in Jamaica last February. We ate a lot of tasty food, indulged in some adult beverages, went on a catamaran cruise, relaxed on the beach, and snorkeled – me for the first time! The grounds were lush and tropical, and the beautiful white sand beach was on a calm bay with turquoise water. And of course the sunsets were amazing!

    Just gorgeous. Jamaica is so beautiful.

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thank you, Teresa! My husband and I were just talking tonight how this time last year we were preparing for our trip to Jamaica, and wishing we could be there again this year. This trip was actually my milestone birthday trip (not saying which one, LOL) and my husband will have the same milestone next year, so we hope to go there and celebrate again!

  • Teresa Zieba

    You go and do it again. You will always remember and treasure memories of these trips. That’s what keeps us alive when we’re old and can’t go anywhere anymore.

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    LOL, I hope the days of being homebound are far, far away!
