We flew from Guyana to Trinidad to Barbados to Jamaica. On the same airplane. We weren't allowed to deplane at each stop, so the girls coped by chasing each other up and down the aisle and having tickle wars.
Until there had been enough of that.
We got to Jamaica late Saturday and went straight up to Ocho Rios for two days on the beach. Sunday was cloudy all day, but that did no stop us from enjoying the beautiful beach..
...or the great kiddie pool at our condo. Really Norah is laughing because that water was very cold. I was happy to stay out and be photographer.
Patrick wins dad of the year for staying in that cold pool with them.
Kata just being Kata. Waving at her adoring fans.
Monday, we woke up to bright, sunny skies..and this. Needless to say Ocho Rios was a very different place the day the cruise ship unloaded.
Amazingly though, the beach never got too crowded. Happily for us, it seems the cruise shippers were more interested in shopping in town.
The girls spent the morning running back and forth between playing in the sand
and swimming in the clear, calm water. Beautiful!
Monday afternoon-- Ocho Rios to Kingston.
Tuesday Patrick attended a conference at our hotel (the whole inspiration for the trip in the first place) and we were left to entertain ourselves. Norah enjoyed the hotel pool, while I enjoyed (?) chasing Kata from the pool steps to the koi pond to the pool steps to the koi pond to the pool chairs to the pool steps to the koi pond...
Norah was a big hit parading through the hotel lobby with her Jamaica flag.
A highlight was Tuesday afternoon when we got to visit with friends! Andrea and Laura used to live here in Georgetown but were relocated to Kingston in March. We had such a fun time playing and catching up!
Not bad, Jamaica. Not bad at all.
