Our $18,00 day

What an expensive evening this was! We took a recommendation from Dave's cousin, Jen, and decided to have dinner at a restaurant called Marguerites in Montego Bay. It was absolutely delicious! Dave and I enjoyed a Caesar salad for two made table side, absolutely the best Caesar salad I have ever had. After the salad we both had a Jerk Lobster Tail with a Jerk Filet Minon. The food was great at a little over $14,000 thank God this was before it was translated into American dollars. After dinner, drinks at Margaritaville, small souveneirs, and a taxi ride we had spent over $18,000 in one day! For one day we could pretend that we were millionaires and would spend tens of thousand of dollars on one meal. Even thought it really only translated into a $150 US dollars, but noone had to know. Thanks for the recommendation Jen, it was awesome!


What a romantic view from Margaritaville, and the empty streets of Jamaica


You know you are serious about Tequila when you have Patron on tap!



I was very surprised about how slow Jamaica was. There was hardly anyone at our hotel. I asked the lady at the spa if they were normally this slow this time of year and she said they were usually swamped and not even allowed to take a day off this time of year. Now due to the economy they have 4-5 days off a week. Someone else told me that even the cruise ships have cut way back. They normally have 3-4 ships a day come into Monetego Bay and now they are lucky to get 2 and most times only get 1 a day. As you can see in the pictures of the city there was not a single tourist on the streets but us. Very sad!
