Join me in Jamacia

I Don't want to be too sad here, but I thought I'd share a few of my Jamaica pics with you. I was there end of May/beginning of June. I never got to share and talk about them with my mum so I thought I'd do it here.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
The one above was a place called YS Falls. It was beautiful out in the lush green Jamacian countryside, rivers and waterfalls. I'm quite a poser when there's a camera about (ask any of my family) so couldn't resist the oppurtunity!
This is my friend Veronika who bought me the chocs in my last post who I travelled with, we flew out together and met another friend out there.

This was my favourite eating place out there 'Juicy J's Restaurant' every morning without fail I was in there ordering my pineapple pancakes lol!

This picture was taken as a joke. Before I went I had sent my mum a link to the hotel we were staying at to show her. With her eye for detail in the picture of the entrance hall she noticed this mini statue and said 'see if you can slip that in your suitcase for my garden' hahahaha! So this pivture is for Daisy.

The beach where I spent a lot of time in the sun with my book and magazines! I zoomed in for this pic to get a shot with the blue sea included, while doing so I managed to catch someones leg!!! I must apologise to whoever in the owrld this belongs to!

Jamaica was an excellent holiday I loved it completely different from any other holiday I'd had before. It was my first time out of Europe as I've only holidayed in other countries in Europe previously. It was also my first longhaul flight. I was so excited and everyone laughed at me telling me 'Long Haul flight you'll be bored!' Well I wasn't we were so excited we talked non stop like excited children most of the way! Probably very annoying if sat in close proximity to us as much giggling was going on as well!
.........................................................................................................................................................................
The weather here is so strange at the moment yesterday we had all of...sun, wind, rain, hail, thunder and lightening! In Jamaica the sun shone for the whole day and was so humid. My friend didn't like the humidity but I loved it, probably as I don't live in a country of this climate it was something completely new for me - different to the hotter countries of europe (I'm sure I would speak differntly if I lived in this climate). I adore the sunshine perhaps as I'm a summer born baby.
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Well there's a little clip of Jamaica for you and to end I'm filling in a survey just sent to me- I'm terrible for these can't help myself! It's called FINISH THE SENTENCE

Maybe i should...... finally get the hoover out!
I love....... chocolate, sunshine, my family, my friends
I dont understand..... why my brother is addicted so much to his football manager computer game!
I lost a...... mobile phone in Ibiza (several years ago)
People would say that i'm......loyal and kindhearted but with a sting where needed hehehehe
love is......my beautiful Johnny Depp hmmmmmm don't think he is mine really!
Somewhere, someone is......on my beach in Jamaica :(
My weekness is..... I sometimes forget myself and don't give myself enough me time
Forever is........ memories
I never want.....to lose my memory
I feel like...... a lucky girl (to have the friends I do)
I need a........ long bubble bath
When i woke up in the morning I....... truly believed it was wednesday it is TUESDAY LYDIA!!!
Life is full of........Suprises
My past..... is happy due to my fabulous parents
My future...... just as happy I hope
I get annoyed when........ people don't use manners- my saying 'manners cost nothing'
I wish....... my trip to Cornwall was tomorrow rather than October lol
My dog is...... non existant never had one!
Tomorrow I'm going to...... work
If i could be anywhere i'd be......on the beach
I have a low tolerance for people who...... don't use their manners
If i had a million dollars i would......... not have a million pounds once exchanged so couldn't be a millionaire!
My problem is..... being too kind- yes believe sometimes I am
Sometimes I want to..... go on a big adventure
My poison is..... rose wine
I will always........ be me!
.........................................................................................................................................................................
Hope everybody is having a good week so far. I'm off for that bubble bath! x

I am so glad you shared Jamaica with us...ah the color of the ocean there looks divine! You look like you were definitely having a wonderful time. I hope you will get to take more exciting holidays. I know you would have loved to share all this with your mom but some how I know she knows all about it! I have this strong feeling she's never too far from you!
I agree about manners - how hard is even a simple "please" and "thank you"?
You're going to Cornwall in October? Your Mom always said that was her soul home.(but then you knew that)
Anyway, hope you enjoyed the bubble bath..."me" time really is essential!
XOXO

YOU are going to love our Australian beaches!!!!! and our aussie wine, and, and , and the LONG haul flight to here... I believe around 21 hours?
I remember when your mum emailed me and told me about your trip, she was so proud - she said that you were becoming a regular little jetsetter. I hope you had sun screen on while in the sun (sorry, it's the mother in me) xo
Take me to Cornwall with you, please??? I will be there in spirit xoox
I like that survey! xoxo

How wonderful of you to do this blog!
I think your mom would have been so impressed about your trip, she would have booked one herself!
[My daughter was married in Jamiaca, with all of us in attendance, and a hurricane approaching! (She is a travel agent for the Caribbean)]We have wonderful memories of the warm relaxed trip!
