Jamaica

Thanksgiving in Jamaica is full of delicious food. First, there is the jerk chicken. It sends my taste buds to a magical place. For some reason, eating spicy food on a hot beach just feels so right. This chicken was marinated and doused in a special sauce, and it was grilled to perfection amid smoking pimento leaves. The meat was tender, and the skin was deliciously crisp. Even the fishies swimming just off shore wanted a nibble of this chicken. But they couldn’t have mine because feeding chicken to fish weirded me out on a fundamental level. Do any of you have a tried and true jerk chicken recipe? I need to recreate this goodness immediately.

Rates are also cheap during the summer, but you'll risk the wrath of hurricane season. January to March is the peak travel season to the island — room rates can spike to more than $700 per night at some hotels.
