| Just 600 miles south of Miami, yet another world, far from the madding crowd. Jamaica is sure to capture your imagination with its colorful land, houses, and people. You will experience another culture, new foods, marvelous sights, and create memories you could never make at home. The language is English so getting around is "no problem", a phrase you will hear frequently in Jamaica. It means just that...there's no problem...just, relax..chill out..slow down and everything will happen in good time. Jamaica offers beautiful aquamarine waters, excellent swimming, snorkeling, and scuba, as well as a multitude of adventures. If you're the person who enjoys experiencing another culture, a foreign land, unique opportunities and simple pleasures, this trip is for you. |
"The Great
Escape to the REAL JAMAICA" |
Escape from the ordinary high rise hotel with the jangling phone and blaring TV in your room. Get close to nature and enjoy the refreshing caress of the Caribbean breeze as the sounds of the surf lull you to sleep. Escape from fast food and bland fare and enjoy locally prepared Jamaican cuisine. Retreat from the hustle of the "Tourist Center" and meet the ordinary Jamaican. Get a feel for life in Jamaica and its rich culture and history. Instead of meeting in a large impersonal hotel, we will completely take over a small rustic inn reflecting the simple charms of a Jamaica of long ago. Snorkel in the clear waters along one of the best reefs in Jamaica. There are many scenic sights within walking distance of the hotel and opportunities to meet the locals abound. Experience the history of the area: Ian Fleming wrote his 007 books here; Sean Connery enjoyed drinking and dining at Casa Maria, as did Katherine Hepburn, Erroll Flyn, Jane Russell, Noel Coward, Gregory Peck, Vivian Leigh, and many other stars of the 50's. Of course, the tourist center of Ocho Rios is only a 30 minute taxi ride if you want to go to town. WHAT THIS PROGRAM ISN'T: This is a rustic hotel - not a 4 star resort. This trip is designed to let you get to know Jamaica and enjoy a unique small group atmosphere. You will experience new and unusual foods, fresh sea air instead of stale A/C, and meet the genuine Jamaicans. If you're not prepared to experience new things in your life...then RAP In Jamaica is not for you! INCLUDED IN YOUR LOW COST IS: Optional excursions such as sailboat cruise, fishing, etc. are available (for a fee) In order to attend this meeting you must stay at this hotel. |
