Port Antonio, Jamaica

Welcome to Paradise... and one of my favorite places on the planet... only 3.5 hours drive from Kingston, Jamaica...
and a little isle called "Monkey Island"... we swam here from the beach in the photo below. Sunburned to a crisp and tired to the core, but well worth it...

Trip Advisor Pro Travel Lodger News A swing for swinging and the best seat for people watching... a real tree swing... wood worn smooth by the years....

He was so happy... the river is perfect for toddlers... no waves to worry about... plenty of shade to protect delicate skin...
