"Irie mon" is a phrase commonly heard in Jamaica. It means, "cool" or
"everything is going good". Jamaica is a wonderfully diverse island paradise
making it a perfect travel vacation. Jamaicans are warm, friendly people that
welcome tourists. Jamaica is the largest English-speaking Island in Caribbean
spanning 4,400 square miles. The island is a tropical paradise comprised of a
plethora of color acting as a muse for natives and visitors alike.
Jamaica has a deep rich history that must be understood for one to appreciate
Jamaica's diversity. Settled by the Spanish and later conquered by the British,
Jamaica has roots from around the world. The majority of Jamaica's population is
of African decent, which stems from the slaves brought to the island to work on
the sugar cane plantations. However, over the centuries Indians, Chinese, Irish,
and many more have left their imprint on Jamaican culture.
Jamaica is a favorite travel vacation destination for vacationers in the
Caribbean. From
Negril's beautiful beaches to Duns River Falls tours in
Ocho Rios to shopping in
Montego Bay, Jamaica has all that a tourist could ask plus much more. Jamaica's cultural center is in its capital city of Kingston. Kingston is a preferred vacation travel destination for those interested in Jamaica's history. The small
town of
Falmouth takes you back to the 19th century with grand old houses to
be visited. The crystal clear waters and year round warm climate makes Jamaica an ideal
travel vacation for tourists seeking to soak in the sun. Fishing, scuba diving,
wind surfing, and horse back riding are favorite daytime activities in Jamaica.
In the evening fine dinning at Jamaica's elite restaurants and resorts is a must
experience. Jamaican's unique cuisine coupled with enchanting reggae sounds
bestow upon you a feeling of tranquility you won't want to leave behind.
