    Before you get your panties in a knot over the title, I’m not referring to ALL Jamaicans.  But if you’re an avid Jamaica traveler and have gotten to know lots of locals then I’m positive you’ve run across so many of them who say they can’t swim!  I remember the first time I met a…

    Some of you may have come to this blog in the last couple weeks of December and noticed it was in maintenance mode while I redesigned behind the scenes.  If you did visit, you probably saw this video:     I found him on Fiverr.com and couldn’t resist hiring him!  Fiverr is a site where…

    This month marks TWO whole years since I’ve been to Jamaica.  That thought makes me physically ill in my stomach but I’ve been managing to mentally and emotionally block it all out because I had no choice.  While I’ve spent the last couple years enduring a ton of personal junk (much of it has kept…

    And what ever happened to the original informer, Snow?   Out of all the Jamaican artists out there, in retrospect I think I owe my life to Sean Paul.  This is a MEGA throwback for Jamaica My Way.  Like FIRST TRIP throwback. Hundreds of you already know that if not for Sean Paul and a…

    Not Goodbye but “See You Later” Dear Jamaica, The time has come for me to take a break from our relationship and start seeing other islands.  But before I go I’d like to thank you for the many things you’ve taught me over the last eleven years.  If not for you I wouldn’t know how…

  • Being Gay and Traveling to Jamaica

    Yes, I’m going there.  I admit I only thought about writing about gay people traveling to Jamaica once in the past and that blog post would have had more negative connotations to it than anything.  It would have been more of a warning post than anything.  UNTIL recently when I received an email from one…

    So I sent a letter directly to the Minister and Junior Minister of tourism in Jamaica about my feelings towards the image of tourism on the island. I’ll never know what happened to the letter unless I magically get a call saying they loved it or hated it. I was encouraged to stop sitting on…

    FINALLY….a Jamaican tour company after my own heart. A while back I posted in my Facebook fan group that I wish a Jamaican tour company….ANY Jamaican tour company….would WOW me with something different. When you look at the majority of tour websites they all have the same thing: Dunns River Falls, Rick’s Cafe, Appleton Rum…

    Everyone knows about Pelican Bar near Black River in St Elizabeth.  But now there’s a new bar that floats and deserves some attention!  Why?  Because  which ever one of us gets there first will be the FIRST tourists who have seen it.  And because it’s a genius idea! I got a text message yesterday from…
