The
bus ride from the airport in Montego Bay took about an hour.
It was about the same experience as last year. There are still
signs of construction
as they work on the highway For a short distance we actually
experienced some of the new
road.

| This
is a view of the beach, from the balcony of our room.
It was similar to the one that we had last year. I really
like staying on the 3rd floor. You have to walk up
a few stairs, but it is a good place to watch the sunset. |

 |
| The
first thing we do after checking in is go to Nanny's Jerk
Pit. The Jamaican style food is great. Some of our favorites
are the jerk chicken and the beef patties, which are actually
coco bread with some ground beef baked inside. The curry
goat was also very good. I like to wash it all down with
a Red Stripe. |

posing in front of a scenic garden. Sometimes we just
like to take these kinds of pictures. I thought a scene
outside the bar was
interesting. And of course, the fountain
is a required stop. Another nature related feature was
the sound
made by some insects or frogs every night. |

| Benia
and I did make it to the sushi restaurant, which is now
called Muna San, instead of Muna Hana due to some dispute
with Beni Hana. Chef Oneil was not available but
as you can see Chef Randi took good care of us. After
dinner we often stopped by the bakery
for coffee and a tasty treat. |

Everyone
associates all-inclusive resorts with unlimited drinking.
We did our fair share. Benia is enjoying a Cosmopolitan
at the Pasta restaurant in this picture. Look closely,
that is Oneil in the background. Of course I enjoyed
a few cocktails as well.

| Keeping
things hopping was the job of the entertainment staff.
They really add a special touch to the Braco experience.
Carl and Zenesha are seen here running a trivia contest.
Games of skill also challenged the guests as demonstrated
by Kim. There
were also dancing and singing shows
in the evenings. |

| Nashwell
was another member of the staff. She always had that pretty
smile on her face. I couldn't stay away from all the pretty
ladies, but Benia is still my preferred dance
partner. |

Here
Benia is feeling the beat with Keith, another member
of the staff. This was at the street party. Dinner was
served outside in the center of Braco village. Then
there was plenty of music and dancing.

One
day Benia and I were recruited to be in the Braco fashion
show. This was a fun way to strut our stuff on the runway,
while helping to sell Braco clothing items to the rest
of the guests. Unfortunately, we were too busy to take
pictures. I did manage to get this behind the scenes
shot. Pam feels that there was a wardrobe malfunction
since her shirt is so tight.

 |
| This
is a shot of a small town that we pass through on the
way to Braco. The fountain looks exactly like it did last
year. I did get a picture of the price
of gas. Gas is sold by the liter in Jamaica
and it sure looks expensive until you realize that the
exchange rate is around 1 to 50 for US dollars to Jamaican
dollars. |
|
 |
| This
is Benia and I at the end of the trip. I'm not sure why
we are smiling since we are on our way home. We had a
great time at Grand Lido Braco. |
