"One Love/ People Get Ready"
                  by: Bob Marley

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right. Let's get together and feel all right.



The Jamaican's have a lot to be thankful for. They live on a gorgeous island with 635 miles of coastline, they eat delicious healthy food, and drink refreshing beverages, they have sea grape trees, and swaying palm trees, they have Jamaican rum and island dances. They're the creators of reggae music and they know how to jam. They have the legendary Bob Marley whose music is loved the world over. They have lots of sun and blue skies and so much more.

The average September temperature in Jamaica is 88 degrees (fahrenheit) 31 degrees (celsius). With clear blue skies and lots of sunshine it's easy to feel "Jolly in Jamaica." So if you're looking to island hop to a Caribbean island for a vacation why not choose Jamaica?

Jamaican's refer to their home island as the "Rock." Jamaica is a Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as its monarch and head of state. The Governor General of Jamaica is Patrick Allen and the Prime Minister is Portia Simpson-Miller.
