Ground Hog Day!
February 2, 2007
So you know what that means…
I’ve been back in Philly for about six weeks, I’ve barely unpacked, my loud Hawaiian shirts are still at the cleaners, and I’m already planning my next trip.
At least I spend my never ending day in sunny Jamaica not in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania, which other than February 2nd is a pretty boring place.
This next trip is looking like a May/June solo trip with a different twist. I’m still in the early planning stages, but I’m thinking about ten to twelve days, no computer, backpack only, a whole island oddessey.
Day 1: Arrive in Mobay and off to Falmouth or Brown’s Town. Stay cheap, no reservations.
Day 2: Nine Mile to Bob Marley’s Mausoleum. The off to Port Maria or Orcabessa for the night.
Day 3: Port Antonio, Boston Beach, on to Long Bay.
Day 4: Blue Mountains, Morant Point Lighthouse.
Day 5: Kingston, stay in Port Royal or maybe move on to May Penn.
Day 6: Mandeville, Christiana, Central Plains.
Day 7: Accompong, Maggoty, Treasure Beach.
Day 8: Take an internal route to Negril.
Day 9Â & 10: Negril, Negril.
I’ll plan to travel by route taxi, (at least as much as possible) sleep in guest houses and small hotels, eat roadside food, and local cuisine.
… and of course hitting an internet cafe every day to blog about the experience.
I have tons of research yet to do, but this is the thumbnail sketch.
Any suggestions?
