Our First Trip

Our first vacation together was our honeymoon in December 1985. We stayed at the very first Sandals resort, at Montego Bay, Jamaica.

There was no shortage of food and drink, with several restaurants, a snack shack, and a swim-up bar.
These little one-person sailboats were a lot of fun. When Steve's capsized, an attentive lifeguard swam out and helped him start over.
One day we took a bus tour of the town and nearby countryside. Our tour guide made sure we bought breakfast from local businesses. She directed us to give our banana peels to a farmer who would feed them to his goats. We visited an elementary school, where the children performed a song for us. We gave them our empty soda bottles so they could get the deposit money.
The tour included lunch at an old plantation, where we enjoyed an aerial view in a tethered hot-air balloon.
All too soon, it was time to leave sunny Jamaica and return to sunny California.
