Bryan and I have arrived at our resort, Grand Bahia Principe, in Runaway Bay Jamaica.
It was a long day for us after being up late to celebrate Christmas back home with my family. But we're here and having a great time.
We were at the airport with more than enough time to catch our flight. I looked for a bar serving Tom and Jerry's, but had no luck.
Our flight was direct, and flew into Montego Bay. Going through customs was different than how I expected it. Instead of talking to people and stamping our passports we had to use a kiosk that took our picture and print out a receipt. It wasn't working very well and they had 3 people there helping with the kiosks, which seemed silly because those 3 people could just sit in the little booths and process everyone just as quickly.
Our whole drive from the airport to the resort our driver was pointing out all of the "sites", like Usain Bolt's neighborhood and school, Bob Marley's neighborhood, the best place for Jerk chicken, and his favorite hangouts. In addition to all of the tourist stops.
Our resort itself is pretty big. After we checked in it was already dark. Our room is on the top floor with no other rooms near us and we have a view of the terrace, pool, and ocean. Which should look nice when we can see it in the daylight.
We had a bit of difficulty finding our way around at first but I think we'll be good now.
After dinner we sat outside to enjoy a Jamaican band and vocalist. The music was good and the lead singer was very talented. But when she ended at 10 pm it was time for bed. Bryan's already asleep!
Here are a few pics from today.
I hope your Christmas was wonderful. And even though we may have actual warm temps, I hope the time spent with your family and friends has warmed all of your hearts.
