As you may know, My Cruising Family comes as a result of a destination wedding in Jamaica, West Indies, in October 2009. That is when Allan and I married, which is why I consider that moment the start of our family. This year, as we approach our 10th anniversary, Allan and I attended a spectacular wedding at Beaches Negril, just steps away from where we became husband and wife. Traveling to Jamaica in August of this year for a wedding so close to the location of our own, exactly two months before our 10th anniversary, was sentimental to me. Having the luxury-included Sandals/Beaches experience again after 10 years was wonderful! So, what’s the attraction to a destination wedding? How does one begin to plan such an event in one of the world’s most popular wedding destinations, Jamaica?

Organized Island-Hopping and Further Globetrotting

I am Jamaican-born and first visited the United States when I was four years old. Then, after years of visiting the United States during Easter and summer vacations, I officially moved to New York, U.S.A. in 1991. I then visited Jamaica regularly during school vacations.

Being born and raised in the Caribbean, I am well aware of the beauty and diversity that the Caribbean holds, and while I know that a number of Caribbean islands, including my homeland, are tourist hotspots, I also know that there are a number of lesser known islands that offer much to be experienced.
