Couples Resort, Negril Jamaica.
Great food, staff, beaches, lotsa alchohol and Reggae.
Wife always wanted to try an AI in Jamaica, because some of her friends stayed there and thought it was a blast. It is, but definately not a diver's destination. Cattle boat, follow the leader for thirty minutes and the dive is over. They even canceled one day because some knee high ripples battered the beach.:shakehead
I took a few pics with a Snapsights flash camera with an old close up lens from one of them old disposable camera housings glued on the front. Not very good pics, but considering it was just fly by snapshots with cheapo equipment, and hardly any critters on the reef, I guess I did ok. I put a few in my gallery if you're interested.
The trip back turned real sour though. We were supposed to connect in Dallas to get home to St Louis, but the flight was diverted to San Antonio due to thunderstorms. We sat in the airplane in San Antonio for three hours watching a movie, because San Antonio isn't set up to handle international travelers, so they couldn't let us out of the airplane. No food either. When we finally flew into Dallas, everyone's connecting flights had already taken off. There was someone at the gate passing out an 800 number that when we called, no one ever answered. Then they gave us "distressed travelers hotel vouchers" at a hotel that was already booked up. Thanks American Airlines. Ended up renting a car and driving back to St Louis.
Other than that, it was a great trip.:arrow:
