With the 5-star resorts and world class hotels scattered all over the island, it comes as no surprise that Montego Bay is one of the best places to stay in the Caribbean. No problems with finding good places to eat or fun things to do and paying for so many different things because they usually have it all planned out for you.
Thinking of unique, interesting and, more importantly, fun vacation ideas can be quite a challenge. Of course, you do not want to do the same things over and over. How about going on a fitness vacation for a change?

Coming home from a trip looking and feeling much better is definitely all worth it.

The museum opened in its present location in the Science Park on the banks of the Charles River in 1951 and it has expanded over the years with major renovation work undertaken in 2005 and 2006.

These systems do not normally come so close to us and this resulted in spectacularly large swell. By chance we had planned a weekend up the east coast and were able to admire these impressively huge waves on the drive up. Chris also had a few great surf’s with his mates in 8-10ft uncrowded conditions at a secret spot. Having the chance to view the sea in this state increases one’s respect for nature even more. I couldn’t help thinking how wild and unpredictable Mother Nature is as we watched these brute waves crashing against the shore after having travelled hundreds of miles to reach their final destination. I can’t imagine what is must have been like 600 miles south in the Roaring Forties…
