We have taken the kids to Mexico for the last 2 years and wanted try something different. So we tried to go to Jamaica with it’s the turquoise waters, flowering trees, delicate white sands, palm-covered hills. Christopher Columbus also had an eye for the extraordinary, calling Montego Bay "the gulf of good weather", so we tried to go to Montego Bay Jamaica.
Commonly referred to as Mo Bay, Montego Bay is the largest second city in Jamaica. The first thing we noticed was the air. It was hot and steamy, very thick. Quite a difference from the air conditioning of the aircraft.
We knew that official currency is the Jamaican dollar, the current exchange rate is about US$ 1.00 - JA$ 46.50 but this can fluctuate, change at banks and exchange bureaus only.
