A New York City content creator flew to Jamaica for just eight hours before returning home the same night.
Kevin Droniak, 28, left the city at 5:45 a.m. and landed in Kingston just before 10 a.m., giving him only a few hours to explore before heading back, SWNS reported.
He planned the trip around what he considers essential to the island.

The Jamaica visit is one of roughly 30 rapid-fire trips Droniak has taken from New York, SWNS reported.
He has completed similar same-day journeys to Ireland, Japan and France, pushing the limits of how far a traveler can go in a single day.
His most memorable experience, he said, was a one-day safari in Kenya.
"It's a 14-hour flight from New York and I went on a safari for the day, which was a dream," he said.
Droniak traces his travel style to a semester studying abroad in London, where he realized how quickly he could move between countries.
