Sandals Royal Plantation, Ochos Rios Jamaica – Amy’s Birthday

Posted on December 31, 2023December 31, 2023

Well….. We have found the Sandals that really makes us feel “home” when traveling. We absolutely love the staff and campus here.

We found a last minute deal to return to this resort just a couple months after leaving in September for our anniversary trip. So we seized the opportunity and booked the trip. This time to celebrate Amy’s birthday (I won’t say how old as that’s a lady’s secret).

Although a short trip it was full of some of my favorite things. Even as we were leaving we were trying to rationalize how we can come back in the spring or summer and again for our trip in September.

The trip ended with Amy feeling crummy on the way home and we had a crazy drive late at night from Dulles to home in the driving rain and dark.

We loved it. It was way too short and it was tough for Amy to be sick on the way home but we still cannot wait to return.

Seek adventure and get busy living.

-Ben
