    My Take on Jamaican Patois   I wrote this a long time ago and recently found it again. It still makes me laugh fondly at the country I’m in love with. There may be some inconsistencies in it so if you’re Jamaican and I’m wrong…..GO EASY ON ME. Patois is not the first language of…

    I had a summer job back home driving a beverage cart on a golf course. I can’t complain – I spent hours outside in the sunshine selling beer to golfers. Rough life, I know. Normally while I was out there all I heard were the sounds of nature – ducks, the wind, the occasional large…

I’m officially introducing all the ladies to the most packable, fashionable, million-looks-in-one piece of travel gear ever!  I don’t know if Kristen Randolph intended these to be a travel accessory but if not, I just turned them into one.  Why?  Because as soon as I saw them I thought of…

Here are my factual Jamaica temperature guides; June to August: Just don’t go. September to May is bearable and even comfortable.

    Oh how I love Jamaica so.  Let me count the ways! I adore this little island sitting in the middle of the ocean more than anyone (in MY fact book).  But I tell ya there are some things that drive me to alcoholism there!  Of course I love rum anyway and don’t need help over-indulging…

    When I’m doing a long, boring road trip back here in Canada one of the things I do to pass time is look at and memorize the license plates on passing cars. Yesterday I was on the highway when I passed a car with the first three letters of SAV on their plate. Immediately I…

    Moving clockwise again in the parish project, we go from St James to Trelawny.  When I first thought about doing a post on what I’ve learned in Trelawny a feeling of dread came over me because off the top of my head I couldn’t remember anything I’ve done there.  But as luck would have it…
