Nice list. I’ve done 11 of these activites. Bubbling Spring never looked appealing to me when driving past and I’ve heard the water/sanitation is not great, but perhaps I should visit and form my own opinion. Jamaica Zoo remains on the list though, and I’ve never actually bought curry goat in Holland Bamboo. I guess I should!
Ohh nice there are so many things I want to do and I agree it’s good to try them and then base them off your opinion. There are so many places I wanna visit …one day at a time lol
