Had another long day yesterday, but we were ready to take on our last adventure before the return home. Today we did a triple tour, which included a canopy tour, zipline adventure, and bobsled ride. The sloooow ride into the rain forest was quite relaxing. It was like a ski lift thing and it took us pretty high up which was scary, but it was perfectly safe. We got to wander around some shops and read up on Jamaican Olympic history and other cool historic stuff....

We hiked up the whole thing, and did it safely, Jaime slipped and got quite a lovely scrape as a souvenir. He was alright though. The falls were rough, and parts were slippery, but we had a ...

We could not have asked for a better way to spend Christmas. Although Christmas in California is sunny and beach-y, this was a whole new level and was just amazing. Jamaica is just as beautiful and relaxing as it looks. We spent the bulk of Christmas day relaxing at the pools at our resort. We went kayaking, went on the water slide a few times, hung out on the beach, and took advantage of the all-inclusiveness by drinking at the swim-up bar, and eating at the b...
