Tourism JAMAICA! Major Attractions from Kingston to Negril!

I looked up this information for a Jamaican friend headed back home after a long absence and looking for some fun in the sun in our beautiful country...and loved the information I was discovering so much (even about places I already knew) that I decided to post it here so I would remember the info for MY next trip back!  This is a country known for natural beauty (of the people AND the land) and brains, talent, and ambition to overcome!  And of course the BEST vibes and parties on EARTH!  Also see  The Real Jamaica: 360-degree view!)

The Real Jamaica: Experience Jamaica 360 Degrees Through Video!


This is basically a video brochure of Jamaica, a way to see what you could experience if you take a trip to Jamaica whether for a holiday, a vacation, to visit family, to connect with friends old and new.
Some are short, some are long, some are by visitors, some are by locals.  All show the many sides, sounds, faces, and places that make up the real Jamaica.  It is not just one area or one lifestyle that makes Jamaica real -- it's ALL of them!  
Let me know what you think, and share with friends and family.
