It was wonderful to return to the warmth of Jamaica with the family in December after a 3-year absence. Having been to the island over a dozen times, I don\u2019t feel the need to walk up Dunn\u2019s River Falls<\/a>, see Bob Marley\u2019s boyhood home in Nine Mile<\/a>, watch the cliff divers jump off the rocks near Rick\u2019s<\/a>, or raft down the many rivers<\/a>. Because I\u2019ve already done that many times. No, all I wanted to do was spend time with the family, swimming in the soothing Caribbean waters, walking the beach to spot pelicans, reading the latest Amor Towles novel, playing and usually losing in Rummikub, eating my daily lunch of spicy jerk chicken, and certainly drinking my fair share of rum. It was well-deserved rest and rejuvenation for my weary body and soul.<\/p>\n
