You know what I just remembered way up in the hills we drove over a river and they were doing wooden raft rides on the river. It looked amazing, but we were not there for tourism, so we didn't really have time to do it, but I would have loved to. |

Had a buddy vacation in Jamaica last year and he rented a little 4x4 to take into the mountains.
He said he got pretty far out and stopped to ask directions, and scored some of the best weed he's ever had Otherwise it was ditto what everyone else said. Bike week is a blast if you know where to go and what to do while you're there. Granted I've always gone with Brian and his sister lives near the airport and we’d stay for free...and she always knows what’s going on, and where/when so it makes the trip fun as hell...but if you didn't know where everything was and when, it's not nearly as enjoyable. I’m not sure if I’ll ever go back to bike week now though.

Ive been to Jamaica a few times, if you are going to sandals in mmontego bay dont stayat that resort, its at the end of a runway and planes fly overhead all day. Any other sandals are great. Negril and Ochos Rios are best. I'll write more when i get back tonight but here is a video from my last trip

Personally if I go to the Caribbean again, it's going to be a stay on Tortuga. I am renting a dual sport on St. Thomas (there is a place that rents 200s or 250s, can't remember which, don't settle for a shitty scooter) for a week and staying on Tortuga. You can hop a ferry to St Thomas and the surrounding islands and the roads on Tortuga are flat out bad ass. The main road is on top the ridge and you got to take these curvy little bastard roads down to the coastal areas.
It's like a 30 min ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortuga

just to add one thing about Jamaica...according to the cabbies, every run down shack is the one where Bob Marley was born.

My husband keeps saying something about renting a yacht in the Caribbean to take me on a mystical honeymoon that he owes me... I think that's the only way I would go back. I've done the resort thing, and while it was nice - I don't like people. And, dammit - everytime I venture out of my room there are people there.
Daytona is just another bike week. It's not that it's a bad thing, it's just over-rated IMHO. I would certainly choose the Caribbean over bike week ANYDAY, but then - I don't like people
