Re: Ticking off the boxes...

Pelican Bar - my only suggestions are to give Dennis Abrahams a call and have him pick you up in Treasure Beach (because your best chance for dolphin sightings is along that coast on the way), and also have him take you up Black River. I've done Pelican and BR 4-5 times and had dolphins come play with us all those times except the one time we went for sunset. He's an ace at spotting them.

Magic ... so fun to be ticking things off the list.

I have no input to your list ... some of those are upon my list as well.

hoping for a long long stay coming soon, and FINALLY I will get to take in The Pelican Bar as well!!

Lizzie ... I will take your information for Dennis too -

we have a long list of things to get to take in as well all around the Island .. Jamaica Jewel, Nine Mile, the Blue Hole location from Ja Jewel's place ??, Cranebrook Flower Forest (Bim will LOVE this place!!) ~ all the usual stuff over in Portland ... plus some other surprises ~

Re: Ticking off the boxes...

eeeeeh?

Has anyone been to Prospect Plantation lately for the horseback ride?

It's been at least 15 years for me and want to know if it's still a nice thing to do.

You ride up in the bus or whatever, then you ride the bikes down, stopping at a waterfall near the end to swim if you want. They bring the vehicle down for you, you don't have to go back up.

So I understand the process, I've been to the waterfall but not on the bike ride.
