St. James is a suburban parish, located on the north-west end of the island of Jamaica. Its capital is Montego Bay (derived from the Spanish word manteca (lard) because many wild hogs were found there, from which lard was made). Montego Bay was officially named the second city of Jamaica, behind Kingston, in 1981, although Montego Bay became a city in 1980 through an act of the Jamaican Parliament. The parish is the birthplace of the Right Excellent Samuel Sharpe (died 1833), one of Jamaica's seven National Heroes.
I used Diane Ross to plan a trip to NYC.
Wanted to thank her for organizing our trip. We had a wonderful time and everything went off perfectly. Our seats at the shows were just great, dinner at The Tavern on The Green was wonderful and the Tour of Lights was so worth it. Having the shuttle was extremely helpful. We did the boat tour around the Statue of Liberty and enjoyed that very much. The trip was a success and in a huge part was due to her. Without Diane's assistance our trip would not have been so enjoyable.
