Villa Ambiance – Runaway Bay, Jamaica
My Official Review I’m not even sure where to start with this one but if I had to choose one word to describe it, that word would be “home”. I’ve had a few villa experiences in Jamaica now and this one just screams comfort. I had all kinds of plans to get out into…

What About Short Men in Jamaica?
And this was only our FIRST night in this hotel. Hard to believe I only stayed at this one for two nights and I can split it up into at least 6 blog posts, almost all of them with video! This evening we were enjoying a casual dinner before heading out when we came upon…

New To Jamaica?
Yes, that’s me on the left in the photo. If you can see the small date on the picture it says March 17, 2003 and that was taken at Sangster airport when we first landed. I knew nothing about the country I just entered and had no idea it would change my life and career…
