I immediately went off into dreamland where I mentally whisked myself away from the icebox that was NC and propped myself at this tropically divine location(and in my native country too!) <a href="http://www.goldeneye.com/site/">The Goldeneye Hotel &Resort</a>, former home of James Bond creator Ian Fleming, recently  reopened in Jamaica.</span></div><div align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> The founder of Island Records, Chris Blackwell, has owned the home and 15 surrounding acres since 1976, and recently reopened the resort after a two year long renovation. The Resort now features a 52-acre resort with 22 units, each with an outdoor shower and touch-screen sound system loaded with Island Records-produced music. Two new restaurants serve local cuisine, including ackee and saltfish for breakfast.  Over-lagoon suites start at $536. One of its new features is the FieldSpa, set on a lagoon(as shown above), where guests can enjoy therapeutic treatments. </span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img src="http://goldeneyenews.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/ge-instyle-12-10edit_page_4.jpg?w=600&h=773" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></div><div align="center"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Joy is obviously having a great time soaking up the sun at this dreamy locale.</span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><img height="511" src="http://resources3.news.com.au/images/2010/11/25/1225960/837563-goldeneye.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="680" /></div><img height="460" src="http://resources2.news.com.au/images/2010/11/25/1225960/835958-goldeneye.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="690" /><br /><img height="511" src="http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2010/11/25/1225960/837208-goldeneye.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="680" /><br /><img height="460" src="http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2010/11/25/1225960/837588-goldeneye.jpg" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="690" /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My last vacation to Jamaica was about three years ago. We stayed at the <a href="http://honeymoons.about.com/od/allinclusives/ss/Grand_Lido_Negr.htm">Grand Lido</a>(now known as Breezes Grand Resort and Spa) in Negril which is another superb hotel with outstanding amenities. However of late, I’ve been itching to take a vacation and escape to island bliss in Jamaica. Also, it’s not cold there!  I think Baby Z would love to visit Mommy and Daddy’s native country too<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_jj8N_UQrbmM/TRLm-2oJvNI/AAAAAAAABoA/GAWtSHUTt5o/wlEmoticon-smile%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />. Thanks to Jude of <a href="http://judefoodlife.blogspot.com/">Food and Life</a> for spreading some island cheer in her <a href="http://judefoodlife.blogspot.com/2010/12/craving.html">tropical post</a> yesterday!
