Jamaican Morning Buns


We went to Jamaica on a whim for Christmas this year. I googled "family resort carribean" and this joint Pebbles came up first. Major selling point, nanny incuded in the price. All inclusive booze, snacks, meals, transport, lodging, babysitter all day long.
It was actually the most relaxed and rested I have felt since this squirt was born. Wanna read Atonement or Among the Thugs by the pool all day long? No problem mon! Wanna spontaneously grab your husband and go snorkling on a coral reef, why, you can do that too. I felt like I was 32 again. I tanned my face without a thought of tomorrow's wrinks. I ate jerk chicken with my fingers and eavesdropped on boring normies with abandon. I actually started to miss this terror every once and again, so I would spy on her while she would play with her nanny. She was always up to no good, just like a munch should.
