Jamaica - I made it!

Well after nearly 20 hours of travel from the time I left Seattle to the time I finally met up with the rest of the group (TimCo, Suzy Roberts and Joshua Smith) in Jamaica... I'm here! I usually sleep like a rock on planes, so I thought that a red-eye flight was a good idea... but apparently I only sleep well on planes when there's no pressure to sleep, so it's been a rough day, probably 3 hours of sleep in the last 36 hours.


We're currently in Kingston staying with some of Tim's family. It's crazy here, I don't even know how to describe it. I'll just say there is a lot of screaming going on inside of our car when we're driving around - they drive on the other side of the road here and apparently there are no rules, everyone just swerves around and passes other cars on blind corners. It's nuts, we've nearly been taken out by a bus or two... (hope my mom doesn't read this until I get home!)

Tomorrow we make the road trip to Negril, where we'll be staying for the rest of the trip. It's supposed to be around a 4 hour drive but we'll be making a lot of scenic stops along the way, so it should be fun... hopefully less screaming in the car once we get out of the city (which apparently has an extremely high murder rate - once again, hope my mom doesn't read this for awhile!)


We're supposed to have internet access from our hotel so I'm sure I'll be posting more... we're all sitting here tired but know we won't sleep well because it's so muggy, so I wouldn't say we're looking forward to going to bed...
