The Tampa area features great attractions and theme parks, from Busch Gardens with it's African themed village and legendary roller coasters, to the calm serene waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Labadee boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. Kick back in a lounge chair under a thatched canopy. Or go walking for shells along the beaches of white sand. This also a great place to purchase Haitian crafts and paintings from local merchants.

Falmouth is the chief town and capital of the parish of Trelawny in Jamaica. It is situated on Jamaica's north coast 18 miles east of Montego Bay.
