Saint James, Jamacia

St. James is a suburban parish, located on the north-west end of the island of Jamaica. Its capital is Montego Bay (derived from the Spanish word manteca (lard) because many wild hogs were found there, from which lard was made). Montego Bay was officially named the second city of Jamaica, behind Kingston, in 1981, although Montego Bay became a city in 1980 through an act of the Jamaican Parliament. The parish is the birthplace of the Right Excellent Samuel Sharpe (died 1833), one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes.

Stress-free vacation!

What a relief it was to have Susan ready to handle problems when there was a threat of an airline strike while I was on vacation. One of the many benefits of a great travel agent! I appreciated Susan’s research, status updates and responsive communication. I knew that if my flight was affected by a strike that she would have my back, which enabled me to have a great, stress-free vacation. Always the goal!
