In December when the crazy cold came to visit the Midwest, the husband and I went on a week long vacation to the beach. It was exactly what we expected and then some. I highly recommend this trip for anyone that's looking for a relaxed vacation on the beach with a book and a mai tai. Having a wonderful partner in crime for all of it is just a bonus.
Clockwise from top: Off the beaten path Jerk Shack in Ocho Rios, Jerk Shack between Ocho Rios and Montego Bay, Jerk Chicken with rice and peas and cabbbage slaw, jerk chicken preparation. (the green leaves that are hanging above are allspice (Jamaican Pimenton) leaves)

lovely photos! Makes you kinda wish it was summer already!
Red Stripe!
I am so jealous of your food vacation.
Gorgeous pictures! I think we could all use a little Red Stripe and a beach right now.
oh, i wish that were me with the red stripe in hand and sand under my feet :)
If you've never been, put it on a list to visit. It's worth it.
Speaking of a red stripe, I am stopping in the local gas station during lunch. As long as I can walk in a straight line I should be okay to come back to work.
