Jamaica in July has become somewhat a tradition for Mike and
Trish. We really like it there. We enjoy the all-inclusive resorts and the
wonderfully friendly people we meet. For
the past many years we have been going to resorts in the SuperClubs family. However, they keep selling them and we have
had to move around a bit. This year we
tried a Couples resort. We spent a week
at Couples Sans Souci in Ocho Rios and had one of our best trips yet.
Couples Sans Souci is built on a steep incline, so the views
are gorgeous. The resort is very keen on
customer service (something that we have been missing in recent years), the
food was wonderful and we were spoiled and pampered all week. One of the biggest draws for us each year is
the scuba diving which is included in the price of the trip. The diving in Jamaica isn’t the best we’ve
experienced, but it’s not bad. There are
always surprises and you never know what you might see. The
dive crew here was excellent! For the
last few years, the crew has had each diver carry out and bring back their own
equipment to the boat, including the women.
Not a problem. But these guys
said “Not the ladies!” and they took Trish's equipment out and back for her. She just grabbed extra fins and weight belts so she wasn’t empty handed. They were fun and
showed us a good time.
We always seem to meet interesting people on these
trips. We made some great friends from
Scotland on this trip. They are about
our age. She was in the cast of “Lord of
the Dance” and now runs a school for Irish Dancing and also judges
competitions. He dove with us, and we
swear is James Bond in disguise! They
come to Couples Sans Souci every year for a month at a time. This was their 13th trip. That speaks pretty well for this place.
We don’t know what next summer will bring, but are hoping to
return soon! They are starting to refer
to us as “JAmericans.” That’s OK by
us.
