STS Travel Presents Jamaica’s First House Music Concert Headlining Renown Miami DJ, Cedric Gervais
•Rainbow Lit Crowd•

A beautiful, sweaty, colorful and most of all hyped, young crowd buzzed with excitement for tonight’s  STS Travel Spring Break event at Margaritaville: Jamaica’s First House Music Concert headlining Cedric Gervais!  Margaritaville, STS Travel and Smirnoff joined forces to bring Miami based, French born top House Music DJ,  Cedric Gervais, millions of miles to STS Travel Spring Break headquarters; Ocho Rios, Jamaica.

The night of many firsts and unforgettable memories began with the customary STS Travel Jamaican Spring Break fashion show in the lobby of the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort.  Well, not a real fashion show, just dubbed so by the non-spring break guest at the resort.  As guest looked on hundreds of bronzed model-like Spring Breaker’s flooded the lobby with perfect hair, makeup and clothing fit for a runway.  The STS Travel shuttle busses began to line the palm tree studded entrance of the Jamaica Sunset Grande at 9pm.  One by one Spring Breakers climbed in and so began the 15 minute trek to Margaritaville.  By now the bus driver had the Spring Break routine down- windows down, music UP!  Bob Marley’s “Jammin” was sung, zipping through the streets of Ocho Rios, in perfect unison and word from word, Jamaican accent and all.

We heard Margaritaville before we saw it.  The low bass vibrated the windows on the bus from the parking lot.   It seemed like we could not get off the bus fast enough!  Once off we met our STS Travel rep and followed her to the entrance of Margaritaville.  In front of the double doors outside there were two lines, and one was a hell of a lot longer than the other.  The approaching line would have been a buzz kill but our STS Travel VIP bracelet got us express entry and we were inside Margaritaville in no time.

Shots Shots Shots Shots Shots Shots! Shots Shots Shots!

It seemed the renowned Caribbean club legend; Margaritaville was designed for Spring Break!  The vastness of the club enveloped us; it seemed to go on forever.  The entrance streamlined us to the professional Margaritaville photographers where we could have our photos taken, red carpet VIP style.  After we finished we were ushered further in to the elongated black lit bars.  I looked up and saw another whole level above us with Spring Breakers waving and screaming from the railing.  Across from me were multiple bars, each at least ten feet long and staffed with six energized bartenders in Smirnoff red tees.  To my right was a long blue winding waterslide beginning upstairs and leading to the huge blue pool on the level on which I was standing.  I walked to the end of the first level and spotted a few wooden steps leading down to a whole other sandy section of Margaritaville on the beach.  The beach was framed with dancers and festivities leading all the way to the ocean.   At the top of the beach was a large black stage with towers of speakers on each side.  The lighting was a phenomenon of neon rainbows; the glow illuminated the faces of the hyped up Spring Breakers.  Crazy Chris, our entertainment host from the Sunset Jamaica Grande, was on the mic accompanied by head STS Travel sales rep, Chris Chambers.  Those two fed energy to the crowd as they introduced the DJ’s of the night; DJ Face, ColdSteps, Crazy Neil, The Housing Project, DJ Gizzy, Shane Fire Starter, Kamal Bankay/3rd Dimension, Breach and DJ Dova. During the introductions a slow fog began to creep over the crowd.  Minutes later everyone was blanketed in thick gray smoky fog.  Margaritaville had brought in a massive fog machine to further enhance the mood of Jamaica’s First House Music Concert.  The DJ’s on stage began throwing hundreds of rainbow glow strobe light tubes high up in to the crowd.  Now equipped with rave party tools the Spring Breakers hurriedly painted the sky with blurs of blue, green and red.  Can it get any better than this?  A huge club, with an indoor pool on a warm Jamaican beach attending a hot house music concert.  This is STS Travel Spring Break 2013.  We know how to do it right.

All the Pretty Lights! Jamaica’s First House Music Concert with STS Travel

The three hours leading up to Cedric Gervais’ Jamaican debut flew by.  The DJ’s were on point bringing the best mixes of house music and traditional reggae creating a musical memory to go with the mental soundtrack of Spring Break 2013.  I am sure that for many of you, this will never be forgotten.   The sea of beautiful sweaty spring breaker’s covered Margaritaville’s powdery beach as the fog crept around them further ascending away in to the clear starlit Jamaican sky.

Around midnight a well dressed exotic looking man appeared on stage.   He looked as though he just flew in for a GQ magazine cover shoot.  Headliner, Cedric Gervais placed himself behind the large black turntables and glowing electronic equipment.  He began flipping switches with immediate fervor.  A thumping bass began to build, softer to louder.  A robotic electronic voice flooded over the crowd:

Please help me find Molly.

Hi, I am looking for Molly.

I’ve been searching everywhere and I can’t seem to find Molly.

Do you know where I can find Molly?

She makes my life happier.

More exciting.

She makes me want to dance.

Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance Dance.

•Cedric’s Eye Settle on Spring Break Madness•

Spring Breaker’s began to push forward and crowd the  stage.  The girls began grinding on speakers while putting on their sexiest show on for the massive crowd.  STS Travel rep, Chris began taking a few girls from the crowd and up the stairs to the stage.  He launched them one by one in to crowd surfing oblivion.  Staring intently out in to the crowd Cedric‘s fingers danced over the switches and buttons of the turntables.  His calm European accented voice spoke out to the last crowd surfer to be launched “Jenna, lay back and reach for the stars”.  STS Traveler, Jenna, floated above the hundreds of hands of the crowd, being whisked away laid straight back, smiled big, looked up and pointed her fingers to the starlit sky.

•Cedric Being Interviewed by Top Jamaican Journalists•

To say the first house music concert of Jamaica was successful would be an understatement.  STS Travel, Margaritaville and Smirnoff collaborated expertly to produce a groundbreaking event. Cedric Gervais and the house music scene had placed its mark on Jamaica and Jamaica had left culture mark on Cedric Gervais.  Newspapers, blogs, and social media feeds came alive the following day with rave reviews, videos and photos of the event.  To the Jamaica Spring Breaker’s of 2013; thank you from STS Travel.  Thank you for being a part of the groundbreaking musical dynamo of mixing two very different cultures and styles of music, a first for Spring Break Jamaica.  You made spring break history and you looked damn good doing it.

STS Travel Spring Break 2013 Excursion #2:

Dunn’s River Falls-  Ocho Rios, Jamaica

STS Travel Excursion- Dunn’s River Falls- Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Spring break Jamaica 2013 is special in the fact that it isn’t just a week of straight partying on the beach at the all inclusive Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort.  This year we bring options!  We, at STS Travel want spring breakers to see and experience Ocho Rios, Jamaica, to see what makes this island stand out from the rest of the Caribbean.  We chose to send spring breakers to Ocho Rios because it offers more than just sand and clear aqua waters.  It offers culture, flavor, nature, history, shopping and is home to some of the best people on Earth.  STS Travel Excursion #2 is to Dunn’s River Falls.

Dunn’s River Falls water cascades 600 feet and is one of the few rivers in the world that flow directly in to the Caribbean Sea.  Dunn’s River Falls recent claim to fame was being featured in the James Bond Movie “Dr. No”.  It was not until 1972 that the Jamaican government was given the land to invite locals and visitors to experience the natural phenomenon of Ocho Rios.It is hard to believes that the crevices and smooth stone steps are all natural.  It seems as though the falls was meant for climbing and was carved from the waters current over time.

The STS Travel excursion #2 to Dunn’s River Falls began with an early afternoon departure from the expansive open air lobby at the Sunset Jamaica Grande.  Students from Virginia Tech, American University and Gettysburg College climbed into one of the three coach busses waiting outside the main entrance.  The bus climbed around the Jamaican countryside until we made a sharp right passing at a large carved  wooden sign announcing “Dunn’s River Falls” .  The road wound its way up the mountain, nothing on either side but acres of jungle green dense foliage.

Upon reaching the top we pulled into a large parking lot.  We climbed out and followed our bus driver in to the park.  We exchanged our STS Travel tickets for Dunn’s River Falls bracelets.  Further on the trek in we were serenaded with melodies of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by a lone guitarist.  This must be the mantra of Jamaica, and not a bad one to live by.

STS Travel Excursion- Dunn’s River Falls- Ocho Rios, Jamaica

After storing our belongings in lockers we were led the the “shoe exchange”.  Here we traded in our flip flops for brightly colored water shoes with thick tread.  Our bus driver passed us on to our Dunn’s River Falls guide; Pablo.  His appearance was assuring, his feet calloused, skin tanned and smile bright.  Pablo has been a guide at Dunn’s for years and years.

With the cerulean Caribbean waters below us we made our descent down flight after wooden flight of stairs.  Once we reached the bottom we were met by a secluded tucked away beach.  This was our starting point for the trek up Dunn’s River Falls.  Looking up at the sky ahead we could see the sparkling majestic white waters of the falls.  It was colossal and more than a little intimidating.  The next hour and a half flew by.  Climbing up Dunn’s River Falls can only be described as climbing up a mountain in a tropical sunshower.  The climb was slippery challenge from step one.  Every 30 feet there was a plateau to rest, take photos and  visually measure how much closer you were to the goal; the peak of Dunn’s River Falls.  Along the way we got to swim in the natural pools the water carved in to the rocks millions of years prior.  Spring break is where the best memories are made with your best of friends. The backdrop of white cascading waterfalls is sure to serve as one of the most beautiful memories you will ever have.

STS Travel Excursion- Dunn’s River Falls- Ocho Rios, Jamaica

The hour and half flew by, and though the trek was tough at times, the sight from the top of Dunn’s River Falls was brilliant.  The sun made the falling water look like  diamonds zigzagging down onto the beach to met and made one with the aqua Caribbean waters.  It’s hard to believe that such immense beauty lies tucked away and hidden high upon the mountains  of Ocho Rios.

When your parents ask to see your spring break pictures there is no need to make excuses.  Show them your trek up Dunn’s River Falls.  Spring break is more than just a week long party, it’s about having a good time with your best friends and embracing the beauty and culture of your surroundings.  They will be thrilled you saw more than just water, a beach and the bottom of empty glass of beer.  Join us next year as we share the beautiful land of Ocho Rios, Jamaica for another unforgettable Spring Break!

 STS Travel Day Time Excursion #1:  Booze Cruise

with Cool Runnings

STS Travel Spring Break Ocho Rios, Jamaica Booze Cruise with Cool Runnings

 The morning began with a mad dash to the main lobby.  The elevator down stopped several times picking up tired students( gotta love late nights at Margaritaville!) wearing sunglasses, swimsuits, flip flops and smiles.  Once reaching the North lobby Spring breakers raced up the spiral stairs to the main lobby.  About 100 hundred students from Virginia Tech and Bryant stood waiting in the lobby eager to board the bus and get the party started on the Caribbean Sea.

 

As always the bus ride was an adventure.  The bus driver, Small Marlin, quickly gained our respect with his musical selection.  The bus jammed out to Jamaican’s musical legend, Bob Marley for the next 10 minutes.  The bass and “One Love” was enough to stop the locals in their tracks and watch as the bus made its way down the hilly highway.

The bus wound its way down a narrow dirt road to a vacant beach adorned with three white Cool Runnings catamaran boats.  Tanesha, a rep from Cool Runnings, gave us a short run down of the do’s and don’ts as we walked to the pier.

 

As soon as we boarded the boat we were greeted with a bar full of rum punch’s and Red Stripe beer.  They must have underestimated us, in seconds the drinks were gone and 2 more bartenders were put behind the counter.  Next we were introduced to the awesome staff of Cool Runnings and the DJ- J Rock.  J Rock had some impressive authentic turntables and some great taste in music.  Next thing I knew the beach we arrived on was in the distance, Baby Got Back was the song and gorgeous spring breakers stood atop the seats shaking their ass.  Is everyone a model on this boat?

Now never ever ever in my life of being on spring break have I seen a guy bong a beer out of  a SNORKEL!  Props to you VT and Bryant -your University will be proud of your on the spot innovation!  Beers are being bonged, shots are taken, Red Stripe is flowing and inhibition is full on!

 

We come to a smooth stop in the middle of the sea.  J Rock stops the music and announced it’s time to back flip off the boat.  Wait… Back flip off the boat in the middle the freakin’ ‘ sea? Oh yes, he was not joking.  One by one, back flips, cannon balls and one belly flop.  It’s ok snorkel-beer-bong-guy, your skills are better on land.  I snapped a few shots of the now water party.  Not everyday do you get to see a ton of Spring Breaker’s taking shots and bonging beers in the middle if an empty ocean.  Thank you STS Travel!

 

STS Travel Spring Break Ocho Rios, Jamaica Booze Cruise with Cool Runnings

By now the sun is center in the sky and the catamaran is wrecking the waves as we party on.  Now this is where things get fuzzy.  Everyone is about 7 rum punches deep (if not more) and things are getting pretty damn wild.  The front of the boat becomes a circle and a full on dance off is in progress.  Wait? Did that guy in the football jersey just do the Booty Clap? Oh yes, it’s Spring Break 2013 baby! By now the entire 15+ staff of Cool Runnings is taking  part in the festivities.  We have the crew woman teaching the girls how to booty shake without moving their actual booty and we have the crew being grinded on by the Spring Break beauties!  Hell yes, this is the life.  I look around and spot a crew member rope climbing 20 feet up the sail.  Now he’s holding on with just his arms.  Now just one arm.  Now a leg.  Holy hell, gotta love Jamaica!

 

What?  The DJ calls for the girl in the green dress to come to the center of the circle.  I look around for the green dress.  Everyone is looking at me- I am the girl with the green dress on.  Before I can make an excuse to run,Sunshine, crew member, drags me to stage.  The DJ apparently wants to see my best ass shake.  I work it as best as I can and hear V Tech and Bryant cheer me on.   I knew I loved you guys for a reason!  The loudest cheers came from the Virginia Tech football players (shout put to Cody and Derek!)

 

As we head back to land the boat looks like dance club, only better jams and hotter dancers!  As the beach comes in to better vision everyone can’t help but get a little sad that this part of Spring Break, STS Travel excursion #1, is coming to a close.  The catamaran rocks to the dock and we hug each and every one of the 15 person Cool Runnings crew goodbye.  I doubt any boat trip for the rest of our lives will be able to top this one.

 

We board the bus laughing and sharing our Booze Cruise experiences with each other.  We pull up to the Jamaica Sunset Grande and I am asked the question I love to hear the most as an STS Travel rep- “Hey, can we sign of for the Booze Cruise going out Wednesday?” hell yes you can!  Let’s make it a double!

STS Travel Spring Break Headquarters- Sunset Jamaica Grande

It’s 10:30 on arrival day. The main lobby of the Sunset Jamaican Grande Resort (aka Jamaica Spring Break Headquarters) is buzzing with good vibes. Every single lounge chair, table, couch, bar stool is occupied with attractive college students. Fast chatter and loud laughter compete with the low thumping bass of the reggae band to set the mood. Tonight is arrival day and night #1 of the week you will remember as the best time of your life.

Groups arrived throughout the afternoon in to the early evening. For most the journey began boarding the plane back in the US, traveling a few hours by air and then finally taking the first steps out of Sangster International airport. Luggage dropped, heads tilted back and smiles emerged as the first sights were set on the bright full Jamaican sun. Your arms began to tingle as your skin comes in to contact with the most potent sun rays you have ever been exposed to. You take your first breath of fresh, warm jamaican air. Upon looking around you notice dark skin and bright neon smiles. Your STS rep waves you over and greets with a hardey “welcome to Jamaica mon!” and directs your group to the outside of the airport terminal. You notice an open air bar to your right surrounded with excited travelers ordering their first Jamaican drink. The bartender catches your eye ” hey pretty darling, what can igetchaa”. You ask what her specialty is. ” Well de rum punch of course, mon”. You order a few for you and your friends. As soon as your drink arrives the huge coach bus pulls around the corner. The blue STS Travel sticker on the front windshield is a tell tail sign you will soon be seated in one of it’s comfortable thick seats.. Your rep gathers your group up and yells “Are you ready for spring break 2013!!?”. The responses and excited screams almost overpower the departing planes above.

The swift bellboy scoops up your heavy luggage with the ease of an olympian and settles it in the back of the bus atop 20 more of it’s kind. You climb the 3 steps up in to the air conditioned bus and sit back in awe of where you are now and where you were this morning. You can hardly believe that just a few hours ago you were bundled up in a heavy coat, Scarf, hats and mittens scraping the frost and snow off your car so you could make your way to the airport.

The hour and half it took to get to the Sunset Jamaica Grande flew by. Roger, your bus driver, kept everyone entertained with stories of Jamaica old and new. Roger pointed out every sight and scene along the way and answered every question thrown his way with ease. As the bus wove through the long stretch of hilly highway you took in the most you could vowing never to get how it felt to actually be beginning the best week of your life-spring break. Roger pops in a Bob Marley cd and your group of 20 bursts out in chorus singing word from word, equipped with a Jamaican accent and all.

“YO YO YO listen up erery’body- in front you will see your home for the next week, The Sunset Jamaican Grande”. And grand it is!. Two huge yellow Jamaican towers stand before you on a backdrop of the purest blue sky, lit by the brightest of suns. “Everyone please follow me to the lobby for a short orientation to get you settled in”. You follow your STS rep in to the lobby and down the cascading spiral stairs. You pass the huge check-in lines and luggage pick up at the front desk. You are relieved to be treated like VIP with STS. Your rep informs you that you have a private check-in for your group and your luggage will be delivered to you during orientation. You walk to a large ballroom and are handed a fruity pink rum punch by a beautiful smiling Jamaican woman. It taste as good as the strawberry fragrance it emits. Your STS rep points out a bunch of large round table and you take a seat. The head STS reps; Chris and Johnny, begin orientation explaining the hotel policies, description of the excursions and the hottest parties of the week. The VIP parties at Margaritaville are all inclusive and include the hottest house DJ’s, and wild theme parties. The excursions include the famed Mystic Mountain (home of the Jamaican Bobsled), scenic Dunn’s River Falls, and the Cool Runnings Booze Cruise. VIP party packages are available for purchase for those who did not purchase them on the STS travel website before arrival. Chris lists the headlining dj’s, hot performers and event schedule for the week. Orientation ends with a video of the week priors Harlem shake booze cruise. The video was awesome and the energy is contagious but you and your crew can top that! You quickly fill out your room information sheet and head over to the check in table and in minutes you have your room key, luggage, rum punch and are headed to the elevators to see your room.

STS Travel-Welcome To Jamaica!

You swipe your room key and open the door to a crisp, clean Caribbean themed room. The rooms is rather large with a nice sized bathroom. You have a closet, a huge dresser, table chairs, huge flat screen TV and a selection of pillows. Your balcony overlooks the Caribbean sea and beaches. To your right you see a huge 10 foot long red, yellow and green wooden sign that says “spring break” planted in to the sand near the STS designated Spring Break Beach. On the beach you spot two tents with dj’s, one is running contests while the other is mixing hot tracks.. To the left is pool after pool after pool!. You see a swim up bar, multiple waterfalls, two rope bridges, the biggest water slide you have ever set eyes on and a ton of sun chairs filled with beautiful spring breakers. The dj starts spinning “We Are Young” and the beach sings in unison word from word. This is going to be the time of your life. You ditch unpacking, throw your bags on the floor and change in to your swimsuit. The party starts NOW!

How to Pack for Spring Break

How to Pack for Spring Break

Spring Break is less than a few weeks away- time to get organized!  Be sure to check your airline’s website to check bag height/weight allowances and any other regulations before you begin packing.    You can also check TSA’s page for general travel information.  (TSA 3 oz rule:  http://www.tsa.gov/)  Be sure to leave a Xerox copy of your passport with someone you trust in case yours is lost/stolen.  Also, e-mail yourself a copy for safe keeping.

When traveling internationally you are generally allowed to have one suitcase to check, one carry-on bag and one personal item.  You can actually fit quite a bit in to a carry-on bag (make sure you also check the weight/height specs).  I usually pack my carry-on full of the items I would not be able to function without if my bag was *fingers crossed* lost.   Check out the following list of what to pack in each of your 3 bags.

This is a bag you can use as your “personal item”

Carry on/Personal Item:

Passport

Wallet

Credit cards

Cash

Headphones

*Have extra room? Cram anything that won’t fit in to your luggage bag in here

What to Pack in Your Carry-on Bag

Carry-on (larger):

Cell phone charger

Magazine or other reading material

Laptop/Ipad/Kindle

A few snack-chips, cookies, trail mix.  Pack something, you will get hungry on the plane and keep the leftovers for your room.

Sunglasses (pack a few, you will lose them)

Pair of flip flops:

1 full change of clothes just in case of a lost bag.

1 bathing suit- throw this on and head to the beach if you arrive before room check-in

Towel- this can also double as a blanket/head rest/pillow for uncomfortable plane rides.  If you plan on taking a nap try to get the window seat, it will be almost impossible in the middle seat.

Medication- anything you need to take on a daily basis.  Make sure the medicine is in the original prescription bottle.

Camera- not your cell phone

Aspirin/Motrin (Ibuprofen)

*Have extra room? Cram anything that won’t fit in to your luggage bag in here

What to Pack in Your Suitcase for Spring Break

Bag Check Bound Suitcase:

Sun block (multiple) – you don’t want to wind up paying 24$ for a can of sunscreen that would have cost 7$ at Target.

ALL of your bathing suits- most of your time will be spent on the beach

Insect repellant- at night insects begin to bite

A nice outfit

Sweater/hoodie/cardigan/sweater

Foldable tote bag/wristlet

What to Bring and What to

Wear on Spring Break

by Jihan

It’s that time of year again, when the freezing, huddled masses are given a week or two to shake off the chill of winter in warm and sunny locales. But what to pack? Anna wrote in saying, “I know its spring break for a lot of colleges do you have any outfit ideas for those who are traveling?” We gotcha, Anna. For warm-blooded gals like myself, dressing for the heat is second nature. Here are a few items you should definitely pack before you jet off.

1. Skirts and Shorts

You well know my #1 rule for warm weather dressing is no pants. You’ve been trudging in tights and trousers all winter, it’s time to let your legs breathe! Look for shorts and skirts in crisp whites or bright patterns solid colors. Spring break is the perfect time to experiment with the latest spring trends, so look for Aztec prints and flouro hues this season.

For a strange reason, the longer the skirt, the cooler I feel. Miniskirts are sexy, but sometimes rather constricting. I say, unless they have a relaxed fit, save your minis for the evening when you’re out partying. For day, choose a midi or maxi skirt, but if you must show lots of leg, try a hi-lo hem. Combine with an easy tee, tank, halter, or strapless top and you’re good to go!

2. Dresses and Rompers

Probably the most wonderful thing about warm weather is that you can comfortably wear dresses without having to throw on tights. For day, keep the fit easy and breezy. If you get hot easily, look for frocks with cutouts– they’ll keep you nice and cool. For evening when the temperature drops, feel free to throw on a bodycon dress.

If you’re worried about flashing your underwear, rompers are a fun alternative .

3. Swimsuits and Cover-ups

If you’re headed to a warm spot, you’ll most likely be hitting up the beach. Bikinis and more modest one-pieces are a no-brainer, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try a monokini. They’re a stylish alternative to your run-of-the-mill swimsuits, and they’re slightly less revealing than your average two-piece.

If you’d rather not walk around the beach or pool with every inch of flesh on display, throw on a brightly printed cover up to feel chic and sexy without being nearly naked.

4. Wide-brimmed Hats

Floppy, wide-brimmed beach hats seem to make any relaxed spring break instantly chic. Their wide brims frame the face, bringing an air of mystery and sophistication to your look. Plus, they protect your skin from the sun’s powerful UV rays, so they’re both fashionable and functional.

5. Flat Sandals

It’s always nice to stunt in a pair of sky-high wedges or heels, but I’d say save those for the club. Warmer places tend to require a more relaxed wardrobe. Pack a few pairs of flat sandals. Couldn’t your feet use a vacation as well?

6. Large Beach and Pool-safe Tote

Your hot pink Céline luggage tote is cute and all, but I’m sure most would be loath to carry damp clothes and towels in it. Would you put your precious purse in the way of a young, innebriated gentleman precariously carrying a glass full of rum punch? Thought so. Look for bags made of cotton, raffia, or mesh material– you’ll be glad you did.

And there you have it! Need more inspiration? We’ve got several guides on vacationdressing in our archives so be sure to take those out as well. Do you guys have any other suggestions? What do you carry along when you go on vacation?
