| The third
largest island in the Caribbean at 4,411 square miles Jamaica wields its
weight well. This spirited island insists that you return by refusing to
reveal all of its secrets in one fell swoop.
A trip to Jamaica may
include river rafting, waterfall climbing horseback riding, beachcombing,
or hammock swaying. Perhaps a few historic plantation houses, Indian sites
or pirate haunts may be explored. It is guaranteed, however, that a
subsequent trip will unveil even more pursuits worth pursuing.
