Today was departure day, we got dressed and ate at the hotel. After breakfast we checked out of the hotel and returned our car. We got a taxi to the airport in Kingston, Jamaica. We left for RDU and were sad to leave but happy that we had  a great time. From RDU we went our separate ways.

Day 11

July 16th, 2013

Today we woke up and realized that it was our last day to really explore Jamaica. So we ate breakfast at one of the restaurants near the hotel and decided to explore around the town. We saw what the people lived in and how they lived. We even stopped to talk with some of the residents and they were very welcoming. We made cold sandwiches for lunch and ate dinner the Rick's Cafe. Ricks cafe was very nice because it had reggae music and was a sightseeing spot for the sunset. After we saw the sunset we went back to the hotel and got packed up for the next day.

Day 10

July 15th, 2013

As the finial days of our trip was arriving we were all really wanting to do something fun and exciting. So we got ready quickly, ate at the hotel and set off in our car. We arrived at Boscobel Aerodrome in St Mary which was were we were going to sky dive! We went to the office and paid and then got brief lessons and got in the planes. What surprised us was that while going up in the plane they fed us lunch which was really unexpected. After the lunch we got to the right altitude and jumped once the light was green. Boy was it thrilling! Going down at 120 miles per hour and having a 10 minute long drop was amazing. It was worth it for the last few days.

Ryan was slow, so only 4 in this picture of the group.

Day 9

July 14th, 2013

After a days rest were were ready to get out and go on another activity. We woke up and went out to grab a  quick breakfast. We went to go to the north of Montego Bay to go deep sea fishing. We went several miles from the coast to the deep waters and got to be like fishermen. We caught several barracuda's, a wahoo, and some marlin. Unfortunately for Ryan he was very sea sick because of the bumpy waters. Once back at the hotel we got situated and went out for dinner, Ryan stayed back because he wasn't feeling too good.

Day 8

July 13th, 2013

Today we woke up and got breakfast once again at the hotel, since we were all too lazy to leave the hotel until 11 A.M. We were still tired from the past two days because of the constant bouncing in the past activities. So today we walked around the many shops in the plaza only about a couple miles from the hotel. We found a quick place to eat lunch and bought some native items and clothing. We were lucky that Ryan stopped us from spending all of our money. This day was a great rest.

Day 7:

July 12th, 2013

Today we woke up and at another wonderful breakfast at the hotel. We were all still sore from yesterday's 4X4 Bob Marley Jeep Safari. We got picked up and drive by the service of the   ATV Off-Road Adventure to Sandy Beach poeple. During this time we got to weave our way through several rolling hills. But before we hit the ATV's we had to practice in the practice ring first to get the hang of the throttle and the shear power of the ATV's. Near the end of the ride we popped over the hills and got to see a great overlook of the Beach. Food and Drinks were strapped to the back of our guides ATV so we were covered for lunch. After the ride we went back home and just rested at the hotel and got dinner on the way home. We were wiped out!
