<p>There is no wonder why so many people embark on a Jamaica vacation at some point in their lives. With beautiful weather, white sandy beaches, and a plethora of activities to keep you busy, Jamaica has become one of the most popular vacation spots in the world. Here are 5 reasons why your next vacation should be a Jamaica vacation.</p>
<p>1. Beautiful weather</p>
<p>You simply cannot say it enough&#8230; the Jamaica weather is absolutely gorgeous. Jamaica is in the Caribbean so this means you&#8217;re almost guaranteed beautiful weather all year long. Generally it&#8217;s not too hot and definitely not too cool, which allows you to get maximum relaxation while on vacation. You can put on your bathing suit and lounge carelessly at the beautiful beaches Jamaica has to offer.</p>
<p>2. Jamaican beaches</p>
<p>With beautiful weather you know there are a number of beaches to choose from. In Jamaica, you&#8217;ll find it hard to run out of choices if you&#8217;re looking for a beach to enjoy. Many hotels are located right beside the beaches&#8230; so you&#8217;ll have quick and easy access. And there are numerous activities to keep you busy on the beaches from snorkeling to parasailing to just lazing under the sun. While there are many things to do in Jamaica, it is the weather and beaches that reel in most vacationers.</p>
<p>3. Wide array of activities</p>
<p>For many, the beaches alone sell because of how gorgeous they are. But if you&#8217;re looking for more than a beach vacation there&#8217;s no need to worry because you&#8217;ll be able to pick, choose and refuse from a long list of activities on your Jamaica vacation. From horseback riding to whitewater rafting to world-class golfing, you&#8217;ll never have enough time to experience everything that a Jamaica vacation has to offer.</p>
<p>4. Mountain ranges</p>
<p>While Jamaica is most known for its beaches and gorgeous water, it surprisingly has beautiful mountain ranges as well. During the day you may choose to hike through the different trails where you&#8217;ll experience scenery like nowhere else on earth. And if you wait around long enough, you&#8217;ll witness some of the most breathtaking sunsets on earth.</p>
<p>5. Many lodging options</p>
<p>Sometimes the lodging you opt for can have a significant impact on your vacation. But not to worry, the many lodging options available in Jamaica will allow you to plan your dream Jamaica vacation. Many people prefer the bed and breakfast option because it allows you to have a relaxing vacation&#8230; while at the same time encouraging closer interaction with the culture and people of Jamaica. In addition, a large number of mid-class hotels are available for you to choose from as well. And don&#8217;t forget the number of world class all-inclusive resorts that caters to your every need&#8230; and then some.</p>
<p>In all fairness, no other vacation can be compared to a Jamaica vacation. From the white sandy beaches to the mountain ranges to the varied lodging options, you will definitely leave satisfied when you take a Jamaica vacation.</p>

<p>Isn’t it time that you rewarded yourself?  You work hard so now it’s time to play hard.  Get away from the stress and hassle of your job for awhile and take the whole family on a vacation to Jamaica, which is the closest thing to paradise on the planet.  And you can do this without breaking the bank in the process.</p>
<p>Jamaica was the first place to offer the all-inclusive resort idea.  Instead of being nickel and dimed to death for everything, how about a luxury vacation where virtually everything is included at a single price after you arrive?  In fact, these types of resorts, which are plentiful in Jamaica, are huge and offer almost anything you could want right on the resort property, so you do not even need to leave the resort after you arrive, and could leave your wallet in your room or in a safety deposit box at the front desk if you want to.</p>
<p>Many of these resorts also cater to the family vacation, and not just to the business traveler or the honeymoon couple.  Many of these resorts offer babysitting services with certified and qualified babysitters who can entertain your kids for hours while you and your significant other enjoy some time together just getting to know each other again.  Your kids will have the best time they have ever had, exploring the beaches, searching for treasure, and learning more about the culture of Jamaica and what makes Jamaica a premiere vacation spot.</p>
<p>If shopping is your thing, you will not be disappointed there either.  Virtually all the area of Jamaica offer shopping in very unique gift shops, most of which offer items that are not available anywhere else in the world.  And if you enjoy haggling, you will find that the typical Jamaican shop owner will be disappointed if you do not haggle with him to get a better price on that item that you have been looking at.  This type of haggling is something that you have to become skilled at, and it only adds excitement and a bit of adventure to the task of shopping.</p>
<p>If you plan ahead, even a few weeks, you can usually find great deals on airfare.  The Jamaican airports are served by many commercial airlines, and cheap seats can usually be found with a bit of digging and planning.  If your travel schedule is flexible at all, the cheapest seats are usually flights on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.</p>
<p>If a luxury resort is just outside of your budget right now, do not let that disappoint you because you have a lot of other lodging and hotel possibilities.  There are many upper end and middle rated hotels available at very competitive prices, and many of these also provide special interests for the kids as well as the whole family.  If you are feeling particularly adventurous, there are also several bed and breakfast options available to you, where you can really get a chance to mingle with the locals and learn more about the Jamaica history and culture.</p>
<p>Your choices within Jamaica are plentiful.  You can choose the bigger cities of Jamaica for your vacation, or you can opt for a bit more quiet time with quieter and less crowded beaches at other areas of Jamaica, like St Thomas, St Lucia, and Montego Bay, each of which offer their very own unique flavor of relaxation, sight seeing, and yes of course, as much night life and dancing as you may care to do.</p>
<p>If you have never been to Jamaica, make a point to plan a vacation there in the near future.  You will wonder why you never vacationed there before, and it will almost certainly become a part of your regular vacation planning.</p>

<p>Ocho Rios, which translated from Spanish means &#8220;Eight Rivers&#8221;, is a gorgeous town on the north coast of Jamaica. Over the past twenty years, &#8220;Ochi&#8221; (as the locals refer to it) has grown from a sleepy fishing village into a popular tourist destination. As a matter of fact, Ocho Rios is the second most visited tourist destination in Jamaica.</p>
<p>Although Ocho Rios translates into eight rivers, it is in fact the stunning waterfalls along with the flora and fauna that catch your attention first. In addition, Ocho Rios, Jamaica owes a large part of its fame to Dunn&#8217;s River Falls, which is a highly touted attraction. In fact, Dunn&#8217;s River Falls is one of the most photographed and climbed locations in Jamaica.</p>
<p>There is great fun to be had swimming near or under the cool water of Dunn&#8217;s River Falls. But you may very well find that it&#8217;s the splendid scenery that captivates your attention. Whether you decide to climb the falls or not, you can witness spectacular scenery peering over the falls.</p>
<p>Another famous attraction near Ocho Rios is Fern Gulley, which is a rocky gorge of tremendous depth. For four miles from the coast of Ocho Rios, Fern Gulley weaves its way up into the mountainous area of the island. As you reach this beautiful location, you can find over 500 species of tropical fern and foliage that is typically only found in a tropical rainforest.</p>
<p>What was once a small fishing and banana port has since blossomed into a major tourist resort. Although it is now a world-renowned tourist destination, the culture still persists in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. And there has been a number of new beaches, hundreds of added acres, and even more hotels and restaurants and shopping areas added.</p>
<p>One of the more recent additions to this town is the deep water pier that has space for up to three cruise ships. This added space has made way for a whole new wave of tourists. There now are cruise ship visitors that sprawl throughout the town on a regular basis. And this is just another great way that you can reach the wonderful town of Ocho Rios.</p>
<p>Among the many things to do in Ocho Rios, Jamaica includes Chukka Cove, Safari Tours, and Dolphin Cove. Chukka Cove is a farm and stable where you can ride&#8230; no matter what your experience level. The beach ride takes you to a dairy and cattle farm to the beach through the waves. Safari Tours allows you to embark on a river tubing ride or a nice hiking trip through the hills, finishing off with Dunn&#8217;s River Falls. Lastly, Dolphin Cove allows you to interact with the dolphins by touching, playing and swimming with them.</p>
<p>Although Ocho Rios, Jamaica was once a small town, it has now turned into a major resort. The culture is still prevalent, but there is far more to do with added shopping areas, hotels, and attractions.</p>

There are miles of crystal clear water to have fun in and the beautiful white sand beaches provide an area to relax under the sun. Negril has even been coined the &#8220;Capital of Casual.&#8221; Aside from the light-spirited atmosphere, this phrase also comes because Negrilians carry out business and pleasure efficiently with little formality.</p>

The truth is, if you want to make new friends and become acquainted with Jamaicans and their culture, Negril is one of the best places to do so.</p>
<p>While the spectacular beaches and stunning scenery is enough to attract any vacationer, there is a wide variety of other entertainment to embark on.

<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, there&#8217;s a wide array of places to stay&#8230; whatever your budget. From high-end all-inclusive resorts to hip hotels to small affordable rooms, there is something for everyone. Although you will have far more activities to do at an all inclusive resort, there are plenty of things to keep you busy away from your room as well.</p>
<p>Selecting a place to vacation at in Jamaica can be difficult because of the many options to choose from. But Negril, Jamaica certainly has something to offer the most discerning traveler with spectacular scenery, gorgeous beaches and a number of activities to keep you busy.

<p>Hip Hop is a culture, or what people liked to call &#8220;subculture&#8221;. Hip-Hop started in he mid-70s in NYC, New York. The big &#8220;hip hop&#8221; movement started at The Bronx by DJ Kool Herc (real name Clive Campbell) which came from Jamaica and got his records with him to the US.</p>
<p>Herc&#8217;s idea was to get the &#8220;Soundsystem&#8221; style, which was known in Jamaica and do it in a local different style, although the base for the whole Soundsystem was the same: A big street party with microphones, speakers and turntables.</p>
<p>There are Four Elements of Hip Hop, but the two most important, popular and relevant these days are DJing &amp; Mcing:</p>
<p>1. Deejaying – The DJ with two turntables &#8220;breakin&#8217;&#8221; the old funk records and loop them. The first came from Jamaica and is Herc. For being DJ that you need a pair of turntables – which is a most. A mixer is necessary these days, but back in the 70&#8242;s a lot of hip hop DJ&#8217;s were deejaying without any audio mixer. The DJ is the main man for the street party or any other party. Later DJs found the &#8220;scratching&#8221; techniques and been perfecting it until this days under the term &#8220;turntablism&#8221;</p>
<p>2. MCing – The MC came from the same place: Jamaica. Kool Herc was actually the first known MC and DJ. But somehow it became too much and he had to get an MC, and he was doing the DJ Part. The MC duty were to shout, to &#8220;get the party going&#8221; he is the Master of Ceremonies, classic MCing started as shouts and screams to make the crown get crazy: &#8220;Blow Your Hands in the air, and wave &#8216;em like you don&#8217;t care&#8221;, or  &#8220;Everybody scream!&#8221; , &#8220;Say Aaaaaaahhh!&#8221;. Modern MCing from this kind are for example &#8220;The roof, the roof is on fire! We don&#8217;t need no water..&#8221;. Later came the the type of Emceeing known to you today as &#8220;Rap&#8221; &#8211; what you can hear in rap music this days.</p>
<p>In these days hip hop is a mainstream music genre all over the world. For example: Glastonbury Festival opened with rapper Jay-Z, which made uproariousness after Noel Gallagher (Oasis) told hip hop isn&#8217;t got no place in the festival. Also in the last few years &#8211; US rappers like Lil&#8217; Wayne and 50 Cent sold over 1 million of records in a week.</p>
