FHTV/RV Tell Me A Story - 6

Has been associated with the park for 2 years

When I was 12 years old my folks took the whole family to Jamaica for a vacation.

If you have ever been there you know that the weather for the most part is pristine, tranquil, and close to heavenly.

There was much to do and one event that the whole family thought would be a grand idea was to float down the Martha Brae River on a bamboo raft.  We boarded the raft near Montego Bay and mom had lathered us all with zinc oxide or some other kind of sun protection stuff.

We no sooner got started down the river, anticipating a joyous sunny excursion surrounded by the warm tropical breeze when the clouds rolled in, the temperature dropped to 40 degrees and it started to mist.

We completed the trip in great discomfort and it was not what we were expecting at all.
