Jamaica Vacation Day 3

February 20, 2020 by Alicia Jones 13 Comments

This was my favorite day because we went to Jamwest, where we did zip lining and ATV’s. We also stopped at Rick’s Cafe and saw some cliff diving. So much fun!

We started the day off with breakfast at the World Cafe and enjoyed fresh fruit, potatoes and waffles. Next we headed to wait for our bus, which picked us up at 10 am. We had a long drive to Negril, and although we did stop to grab a quick snack, I recommend eating breakfast before you go, and to take some snacks with you.

We arrived at Jamwest Motorsports and Adventure Park after 12. We checked in, signed our waivers, and went out to do the first activity which was zip lining. I have been zip lining twice before, but this time I was super nervous and had no clue why. Maybe it was because we climbed to the tops of towers to zip line to the next. Chile we were up high! Our guides were doing all kind of tricks and things as they went down. It was fun to watch! Once I got over my fear I had fun!

Next up was the ATV. I have never been so this was an awesome experience! I highly recommend it! My fiance and I chose to do the double so we rode together. We rode through a tunnel, over bumps, it was a blast.

Half way through we stopped by the sea, took some pics, and chatted with a younger boy who was a local. He took some cool pics for us too. It rained earlier so it was cloudy. If the sun was out it would’ve been so beautiful.

Once we were done with our adventure, we had lunch. I got festival, fish fingers with fries, and washed it down with a Ting.

Once we left Jamwest we headed to Rick’s Cafe. I had been wanting to go there for years! We got there just in time to catch some some cliff diving. They have a pool there and you can grab drinks and food. When the sun is beginning to set the cliff diving is over and it’s time for the live music. Can y’all believe we were only allowed to stay 20 minutes?? I would had loved to go without a group so I could have stayed much longer. The sunset is absolutely gorgeous!

We had a long ride back to our hotel where we showered, and headed to dinner at Blue Mountain, our favorite spot, which serves Jamaican dishes. I got a crab cake for an appetizer,Coconut snapper for my main dish and washed it down with my favorite drink, a rum punch. After a long day we went straight to sleep!

Have you been to Rick’s Cafe before? What is your favorite spot in Jamaica?

Jam West Motorsports & Adventure Park Review

Hey everyone! Here is my review for my excursion that I went to when I stayed in Jamaica a few weeks ago.

We stayed at Secrets Wild Orchid which is in Montego Bay so we had an hour and a half ride there. You can pick and choose the type of packages you would like to do which include, ATV, zipline, safari, and horseback riding. They also have a free mineral bath.

We chose the ATV zipline package. Our tour guides were super fun and energetic! I was a little nervous to do the zipline because we were up so high but it was an amazing experience. We ziplined from 8 different towers. They tell you not to take your camera or bring your phone. They do have people who take your picture on the zipline and atv.

Atv was so much fun! It rained the night before and was also raining a little during so it was muddy. We went through a tunnel and once we did that we stopped by the sea and just took it all in. It was so beautiful!

Once we were done with everything we had lunch. I got fish fingers with fries and fried bammy. It was so good! I also got a Ting to help wash it all down.

At the end we stopped at Rick’s Cafe to see the sunset which was so beautiful. We only got to spend 20 minutes there which is definitely not enough.

I would definitely recommend this excursion. It’s lots of fun!

Travel Bucket List

May 7, 2019 by Alicia Jones 14 Comments

Hello everyone! It’s been far too long since I have written anything. I have definitely been slacking.

I have made myself a travel bucket list of some place I would love to travel to. I love to travel in fact I think travel should have been my middle name. I love to see new places, and try new foods, and meet new people. Here are some of the places.

I would love to see Hawaii. I hear the island is absolutely beautiful! My kids were able to go in 2014 and I was low key jealous, but they had a blast.

Barbados! It’s where Rihanna is from. They have many festivals and events. Also with its rich history and multiple activities to do, I know I’d love it there.

Atlanta, Georgia. I know you are probably like, “But that’s in the states”. Yes I know, but I have never been and it has so much history there. I had a connecting flight through there and I was so impressed by the airport. LOL

California. Now I’ve been to Anaheim when I took the kids to DisneyLand but that’s it. I didn’t get to explore California and eat the food. I told myself when I was 11 I would go and see everything that state has to offer. I want to see the house from the show Charmed, I want to see the Hollywood sign, go on tours, and just explore. It’s definitely a must.

Puerto Rico. I must try the food there! It’s one of the 52 places to visit in 2019. I need to step up my Spanish speaking skills. Did you know that you can go surfing there? I didn’t. You can get mixology lessons in San Juan. It has so many different cultures and dancing!

Negril, Jamaica. the boo is set on always going to Montego Bay because the ride to and from the airport is short. Maybe one day I can convince him. I heard the beaches here are sooo beautiful! Of course I been to Jamaica before but never to Negril. Home of the seven mile beach where there is seven miles of a golden sand beach.
