Name this popular place in Jamaica…If you’ve been to Montego Bay or vacationed in Montego Bay, it’s very likely that you’ve been on this strip.

It’s where the city comes alive in the day and at night. During the day you’ll see tourists and locals alike sightseeing, shopping, hanging out at the beach. At night, people are partying, enjoying some delicious Jamaican food at a restaurant and on weekends, you’ll find a few jerk pans on the side of the road catering to hungry people after they’ve done partying.

If you don’t know this strip, the next time you’re in Montego, be sure to visit.

Meet Kevin aka “Short Pants”, a well-known Montego Bay City Guide.

At an early age of 15, he found pleasure in giving visitors of the city directions, telling them about things they could do in and around Downtown, Montego Bay. It slowly became a hobby until he decided to help visitors around town and give them a tour of the area himself.

He became certified as a tour guide a few years ago and now offers a tour of the city of Montego Bay. 🇯🇲

If you want to experience Montego Bay like a local, then this is a safe and fun way to do it. 😁

Does this sound like you? It doesn’t have to be. Luckily, it’s still the start of a new year so all hope is not lost. You can start saving for your 2023 trip now.😌

Last year a customer filled out our vacation interest form and did a quick consultation with us. In the meeting we found out she had the desire to vacation in Jamaica, but had no vacation budget or solid plan on how to make her dream vacay come through. We simply gave her some advice on how to make her dream trip to Jamaica a reality- the good old saving tip. Simply that, and she was able to take that trip last month. 🏖️🇯🇲

Here’s everything you need to know to help you save for your trip to Jamaica (and this works for anywhere in the world you’d like to travel to):

1️⃣ Start by evaluating your finances and what you can cut back on to start saving for your trip.

2️⃣ Start a travel savings account- When you figure out what you can cut back on, intentionally use the amount of money you usually spend on these things and start a travel savings account. Deposit money into it as often as you can.

3️⃣ Automate your savings - On top of redirecting your money into this new account, to make sure you don’t fall back on your plan, ask your employer to deposit at least 10% of your monthly income into your new travel savings account.

In about 6-7 months, you’ll have enough for your trip and depending on your income you might have enough to take 2 trips this year.

4️⃣ Keep in mind you’ll be saving for at least 3 aspects of your trip - flights, hotel & airport transfers and excursions.

Without a plan, you might end up not taking that trip. So, put a plan in place now.

✅ Save as a reminder to start saving for your trip + Share with a friend to help them save for their vacation.

P.S. Do you think we should make this a challenge to help you and your travel buddies or partner save for your trip? (Doing it together and keeping each other accountable will guarantee that you vacation together this year) 😉👍🏽 Let us know in the comments

Jamaica is on the ‘nice’ list for Christmas 😁🎅🏽🇯🇲

Just last weekend alone, our island welcomed over 40, 000 visitors. And this week a few celebs visited our island and had the time of their lives.

Where are you going to be this winter? 🤔😊

Something I’ve learned from these ladies…

When I met these ladies, they were full of life- cheerful, happy and ready for an adventure. Their reason for taking this trip to Jamaica was simply just to celebrate life. They wanted to go on a boat ride and when I tell you they had the time of their lives, I mean they had a blast. 😊🏖️

You see those shirts right there with “Jamaica Crew” on it? What you’re not seeing is what’s written at the back. It says “RIP Peaches”, and I had to ask about it.

I found out that they had a friend who would have been on this trip in Jamaica, but she passed away. So yes, this trip was to celebrate life (life in general and their late friend’s life). And it made me realize how fragile life is, and I was blessed to be celebrating with them.

So my friend, live your life to the fullest. Don’t wait until you get that new job, or that promotion. Don’t wait until you’ve bought a new car or a house. Take the time to do what brings you peace, joy and happiness now.

One love,

Happy Sunday!

If you know Jamaican culture, you know Sunday is typically a beach day. It’s a day to relax and spend time with family and friends. 🏖☺️

Beaches usually get crowded on Sundays, and some families will even wake extremely early to get a swim and beat the afternoon crowd.

Do you prefer going to the beach on a Sunday or any other random day in week?

✨ Save this tip as a reminder for the next time you’re planning your vacation 👍🏽

We’ve noticed that most people book their hotel then think about the excursions they would like to do afterwards.

We had a client that was staying in Negril and wanted to visit the Old Spanish Bridge, do bamboo rafting w/limestone massage and visit Floyd’s Pelican Bar- all in one day. This was not possible as these activities are all on different sides of the island in relation to where she was staying. So based on what activity was most important, we ended up doing a full day of bamboo rafting w/ limestone massage, YS experience and Pelican Bar.

Are activities and experiences important to you on vacation? 🪂🏇🏾🏌🏽‍♂️🚣🏽‍♀️

✅ To get an ideal experience, we recommend planning your excursions and booking your hotel with proximity in mind.
