We stayed near Montego Bay about 20 miles outside of town. Our most interesting day trip was to the mountains visiting a former coffee plantation and an elementary school. We also took a day trip on a 3 masted sailing ship on a very windy day that made several people on board sick so that we had to cut the day short. Personally, I was having a blast and was disappointed that we had to quit.
I have a friend named Rohan (pronounced Ron) who lives and works in Ocho Rios as a dive instructor for one or more resorts. You didn't possibly make contact with him did you?
He moved to Wisconsin with his new wife for about a year and we played and coached soccer together until his homesickness got the best of him. I thought our winter was going to kill him. Eventually he moved back home.
