***Suggestion for anyone “not” in good physical shape:
It would be good for you to start working, jogging, or doing some type of physical exercise,
to help prepare you for a busy week. The weather in Jamaica will be hotter than the weather
in Roanoke, Virginia and the daily schedule is usually packed from 7 AM
to 11 PM. approximately.
I know some people are already doing exercise weekly. That is great . keep it up.
