Best of the Adventure Adviser Week of December 26, 1996-January 1, 1997 Inns and trails on Vancouver Island Primitive camping in Florida Tips for trekking in India It’s no joke: Skiing near San Diego A family vacation in Jamaica A family vacation in Jamaica Question: My wife and I would like to take a trip to Jamaica with our two daughters (ages 9 and 2). We’ll stay seven to 10 days and are interested in a recommendation on where active families should stay. My wife and I would like to scuba dive at least once, but as a family we enjoy hiking/walking, biking, and playing around at the beach. Any suggestions would be great! Thanks. Mark Short Tigard, OR mark_short@msn.com Adventure Adviser: I recommend the family-friendly Franklin D. Resort near Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s north coast. With plenty of kid-oriented programs, plus baby-sitting while you dive, this upscale but not uncomfortably stuffy resort is a good choice for parents with sun-seeking kiddies. Call 800-654-1337 for rates and more information. For other suggestions, contact the experts at Rascals in Paradise, a California-based travel agency that specializes in family vacations (800-872-7225). |
