5. Ahh, Jamaica
Spent a week there years ago and it was one of our most kicked back, fun holiday. Bob Marleys all over the country. The music there alone made the trip. In fact, the locals were often better than some Marley tapes/cds.

SNIPPET:
Meanwhile, a popular Kenyan reggae musician has also thrown his weight behind the Illinois senator, with a hit "Obama be thy name" being played in reggae clubs and on the airwaves.

Makadem, one of the best known artists on Kenya's music scene, said in Nairobi on Monday that the music video version would reach listeners and voters in the US via the internet.

"My song is aimed primarily at Americans," Makadem said.

"I wrote this song as a citizen of the world and I believe that Obama, with his mixed ethnic background, really is the man for the world today."
