The experience

The first thing I noticed was the air: warm and heavy, but not in a bad way. It’s like the island wants you to slow down. Our driver, Andre, found us right outside arrivals at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. He was holding a little sign with my name (I always get nervous about that part), but there he was, grinning and waving. The van was cool inside, bless that AC, and there was this faint scent of coconut mixed with something sweet, maybe from the rum punch bottles waiting for us. I’m not usually a drink-at-noon person but… when in Jamaica?

Andre chatted as we drove out of Montego Bay, pointing out where the sea meets the hills and telling us about his favorite jerk chicken spot (he swears by Scotchies). The drive to Ocho Rios isn’t short, about 90 minutes, but it didn’t feel long. There were little things: reggae on the radio, sunlight flickering through palm trees, Andre laughing when I tried to say “wah gwaan” like a local (I definitely butchered it). He offered cold bottled water too, which honestly saved me after the flight. If you want to stop for photos or just need a break, he’s totally fine with it: no rush vibes at all.

I liked that it was just us: no waiting for other people or squeezing into a crowded shuttle. At one point we rolled down the windows near Runaway Bay and you could smell grilled meat somewhere in the distance. It made me hungry even though I’d just had airplane snacks (never satisfying). The whole thing felt easy and safe. Andre even reassured us they track flights so delays aren’t an issue. That took some stress off my shoulders.

By the time we reached our resort in Ocho Rios, I felt more settled than I expected after a travel day. Maybe it was the rum punch or maybe just being welcomed by someone who actually lives here. It made all the difference. I still think about that first glimpse of turquoise water as we pulled up to the hotel gates.
