Jamaica Part 5 - The Final Two Days

It’s been a few days since I have blogged about Mel’s and my trip to Jamaica, so I suppose I should finish up with the posts on Jamaica. For most of the last two full days we were in Jamaica, Thursday and Friday, we were at the resort’s beach. After having breakfast at the buffet at one of the restaurants, we went to the beach. For about six hours both of the days, we alternated between lying in the beach chairs and swimming in the sea. Leaving the beach on Friday was difficult as it would be the last time we would be there on this trip.

Friday evening was the bon voyage party in the pavilion on the Manor side of the resort. We enjoyed the buffet and the drinks. However we didn’t stay for the main festivities of the party. At 8:00, we headed back toward our cottage on the Riviera side of the resort. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 7:13 Saturday morning, and with a two hour drive there as well as needing to get there a couple hours before the flight left, we wouldn’t be getting much sleep.

We checked out of the hotel at 2:00 in the morning and by 3:00 we were on a bus to the airport. We really enjoyed our trip to Jamaica and our stay at Sandals Grande Ocho Rios. We are hoping that we will have a chance to visit again. If we do go again, you can be sure that our flight back home will not be leaving at 7:00 in the morning!
