I've said that all three times that I've left Jamaica. First time was a cruise stop. Next time was an all-inclusive on a trip that took advantage of some free tickets. Next time was for work in Kingston.

I'm sure that I'll end up there again sometime. Your thoughts are right on, but some places are better than others. Bad scuba diving there; too overfished.

My own addition to the thread: Utah. (It almost qualifies as its own country.) I was not looking forward to a business assignment to Utah in 1998, but it's now my favorite ski destination. Have been there about six years since for skiing.
