We have traveled for decades - to many places, had many experiences, broadened our mental horizons. But traveling with our family has always brought the most rewarding and happiest travels for us  - sharing special places; exposing our children to cultures and experiences, food, people from different lands. Times spent away from home and technology and day to day lives and learning that life outside our safe boundaries gives us wonderful surprises. Meeting new people that might look different from us. Driving through towns and seeing people live under very different circumstances from what we thought was 'the real world'. Trying new foods, trying new activities such as snorkeling and diving. Our trip to Beaches Negril this past year was all of this and more. 

Tony and I brought our daughter and her husband and 2 of their 4 children, and our son and his wife to spend a wonderful week at Beaches Negril in Jamaica. Beaches is the family arm of Sandals Resorts (which we very much love!). For several of them, this was their first international trip and seeing their faces light up with their first glimpse of the incredible blue water, soft white sand (and all the food and drink you could possibly consume!) I knew right away we were in for a great week.

We did a photo shoot with Beaches photography department - the result here.

We visited Rick's Cafe in the cliffs section of Negril. Some experienced 'Snuba', kayaking, snorkeling. Some of us just soaked up the rays with a delicious cocktail. 

Dining was amazing! We loved Soy - the sushi restaurant, and ate there several times. Nothing like unlimited sushi, if you ask me! Kimonos Restaurant, where we all sat around a huge hibachi grille while the chef entertained us with his culinary skills, was delicious. 

It was a wonderful week and I can't wait to have the chance to do it again!
