Bye, “Mon”!

It’s back to reality today, to the schedules and duties we have chosen, back to the lives we treasure.  We both agreed, a few days in, that we probably wouldn’t return to Jamaica, quickly adding, almost in unison, that we still are very fortunate to have the experience, to be on vacation.

Staying at an all-inclusive (Seagarden Resort) worked well for us, as we couldn’t find a real store anywhere nearby. The “markets” were no more than souvenir shops, and they were everywhere. But our needs were easily satisfied, as we flitted between the pool bar, the beach bar, and occasionally the piano bar.

The locals were chill, for sure, and we enjoyed the resort staff and all the vacationers we met, mostly Canadians. The flowers and trees were in full lushness, accented by the Caribbean Sea and mountains. It was the respite we needed; memories were easy to make.
