First full day in Montego Bay.  The weather report was right - it is a cloudy day but still wonderfully warm.  






After a late breakfast we met with the Air Canada Vacations representative - giving us our tips for a great vacation.  My two new friends, Courtenay and Sam have kind of adopted me!.  They signed up (and me too) for the shuttle into Montego Bay - a good day to do some shopping.  They also talked me into going for a swim with the Dolphins!!  So that will be for Monday.  Probably will never get another chance.  


The shopping trip especially to the craft market was an experience - the others on the shuttle used the word intense!! All of the men and women wanting you to buy from them!   "Just one look." "Come and see!"  

One managed to convince me to put a little beaded braid in my hair - check the picture!  






After the trip it was time to get started on the cocktails -  all interesting names to try!  The hummingbird, the 4th of July, the Jamaica Smile and so on!  
Finally it was time to get in that water.  An evening swim was great and of course the hot tub!!  Then a late supper and a time to enjoy the great Jamaican music at the entertainment.

Jamaica!! Sunny and warm!    Arrived at the hotel and was settled in the room by 6:00 pm.  My room is on  the 10th floor with a great view of the ocean.    

Views from my room.

Met two young women on the plane and they ended up being at the same hotel so we got settled and headed to the dining room for supper.  We were hungry after the long flight.  Food was great at the Buffet.

Of course we had to start sampling all the fancy drinks!  

The dessert bar that greets you at the entrance!

The resort is very nice.  I'm glad I chose this one.  

One of the pools in the evening.

The large lobby is all open areas with the warm breezes blowing through.
