Feature Trip Article – Jamaica 2021
The first trip of 2023 will be to Montego Bay, Jamaica! It was an easy decision to make this the first trip of the year since that’s exactly how we started out in 2021. Even though we were in the midst of the pandemic the group went and spent some time enjoying the warm sun and white beaches of Jamaica.
Entry into Jamaica wasn’t as complicated as some other countries, you did have to fill out a travel authorization form (which starting March 1 2022 is no longer required) as well as present a negative COVID test taken 72 hours prior to departure. The hotel had nurses on staff to administer the tests required to return to the US so the entire process was seamless.

The hotel we stayed in was the Hilton Rose Hall, which was definitely a great choice. I wasn’t sure how staying at the resort would be during the pandemic but I will say everything was pristine. It was very surreal to be at a resort and it not be crowded
Even Though it was a quick getaway we scheduled two excursions. The first excursion is one of my favorites which is a catamaran tour with snorkeling and a stop at Margaritaville. This is always a fun one, with dancing, drinks and of course food! Who doesn’t love that combo!
We later went to Chukka where we went ATV riding, horseback riding and zip lining. It was an adventure of a day. I think my favorite part was riding the horses in the ocean, they are such beautiful creatures.

In the evenings even though there was a country wide curfew the resort made sure there were tons to do including a silent party and daily activities. Overall it was a great trip and a nice break from the winter during a time when we had all been cooped up in our houses for a year due to travel restrictions.
I can’t wait to go back! Who am I kidding I go often but will you be coming with me next winter?
