Falmouth, Jamaica

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. It is
noted for being one of the Caribbean's best-preserved Georgian towns. Founded by
Thomas Reid in 1769, Falmouth flourished as a market centre and port for forty
years at a time when Jamaica was the world's leading sugar producer. It was
named after Falmouth, Cornwall in the United Kingdom, the birthplace of Sir
William Trelawny, the Governor of Jamaica, who was instrumental in its
establishment. The town was meticulously planned from the start, with wide
streets in a regular grid, adequate water supply, and public buildings. It even
had piped water before New York City.

Mayan myth claims that Cozumel was home to the gods. Truly Cozumel is a place
fit for the gods, with its dazzling white-sand beaches, ruined Mayan temples,
exotic jungle wildlife, and crystalline waters teeming with tropical fish. Just
offshore lay Palancar Reef, considered one of the most spectacular coral
formations in all the Caribbean. Of course, the gods weren't the only
individuals attracted to this terrestrial paradise: during its long and colorful
history, Cozumel has been home to pirates, buccaneers, and freebooters,
including Sir Henry Morgan and Jean Lafitte. Today's traveler will discover the
same ravishing beauty and relaxation that entertained gods and pirates alike.

St. Maarten offers a delightful case of split personality. Legend has it that
a Frenchman and a Dutchman divided ownership of the island through a walk-off:
Standing back to back, the two headed in opposite directions, walking around the
island until they met. Perhaps the Dutchman paused for a refreshing brew. At any
rate, the French ended up claiming 21 square miles of the island to 16 square
miles for the Dutch. This lively tale says much about St. Maarten's easygoing
ways. No formal boundary exists between the Dutch and French sides of the
island; a simple welcome sign tells you when you cross from one country to the
other. But the differences are as noticeable as the spelling of the island's
name. The French spell it St. Martin. And it's this split personality that lends
so much to the island's charms, including an international reputation for the
finest cuisine in the Caribbean.
