Jamaica, January 2014

Jamaica - Jan. 25 to Feb. 1, 2014

with Vantage Endoscopy 

Thanks to Jonathan's successful sales year, we really enjoyed our one week away at an all-inclusive Sandals resort in Whitehouse, Jamaica with his co-workers and spouses. What a great group of people. The week was perfect. Perfect. The service was phenomenal. The staff were very relaxed yet never stopped working. Can't tell you how many times I heard, "Ya mon, no problem". Boy do they pay attention to detail.

Great food, activity, play and lots of time on the beach pretty much sums up the week. 

Looking forward to seeing Seth, Leah and Micah tonight.

Enjoy the pictures.

Picture perfect, every day.

Showin' off.

"Hey, mon. No problem."

Chess, anyone?

Windy weather = red flag.

They disappear quickly. Get one while you can!

Lobster. Seafood. Fish. Delicious.

Loved the mountain view.

Dive boat.

Enjoyed the walking.

They work long days so deserve the rest. Amazing service.

Our accommodation.

Floyd's pelican bar. Can you believe that we spent the afternoon here? It was a 1 hr catamaran ride. They fed all 42 of us, lobster/fish and rice! Definitely the highlight of the trip. Read more about it here.

View from our room. We preferred the ocean over the pool.

Our for dinner, again. Wonderful food, fun, relaxation, and people.

After Jonathan explained the need for film and batteries (and waiting for prints, etc), Seth said to Micah later, "Hey, check out this camera they used in the old-fashioned days!".

Moses the dog. He is 8.5 yrs old.

After successfully implementing the new system (words and pictures of jobs like loading dishes, putting lunch in bag, brushing teeth, etc) that eliminates "reminders" from mom and dad, the kids enjoyed lunch out at the Brown Dog in Paris. Each day after doing their jobs, they got a clue as to where we would go.

Leah enjoyed her sandwich in the doggie bowl...

...as did Seth.

And Micah devoured his BLT.

Great night out to celebrate Jonathan's successful year of sales that earned us a trip to Jamaica in Jan 2014! He's sporting his Movember mustache.
