  • Meeting An Absolute Travel Addict

    This post is WAY overdue but I was just reminded that I wanted to post about it when I was flipping through photos of my last 2-month stay in Jamaica. A while back I did a post about a girl kind of like me…picked up and moved her solo self to Kingston, Jamaica.  You can…

  • The Sweet Sounds at Sandals

    Another Hidden Talent in Jamaica “If you ever see her, If you ever meet her, If you ever get a chance to sit down and talk to her….” Those are lyrics from a Chris Brown song that popped into my head as I was starting this blog post. It fits perfectly with how we discovered…

  • Working In Jamaica

      Nothing is Ever as it Seems Earlier this year I relocated to Montego Bay to fulfill a work contract that I scored and was so excited to get started on! Who really gets paid to go to Jamaica and tour luxury villas? THAT still remains a good question because it sure wasn’t me! It…

  • My #TeamJamaica Rant

    My Tribute to Asafa Powell Well Jamaica just won again and we never had any doubt that they’d bring home gold from the London 2012 Olympics. I’m just as proud as everyone to see the men’s 100m runners took it home! HOWEVER….I’m disappointed to say the very least, in the sportsmanship of Usain Bolt and…

  • What to Expect From a Jamaican Butler

    What to do With a Butler at a Jamaican Resort   As you may or may not know, back in May my awesome travel agent friend scored us a few nights at two different Sandals Resorts in Jamaica. She’s used to traveling this way, I’m not. You ALL know that resorts just aren’t my thing…

  • Going To Church In Jamaica

    As if There’s Not Enough Heaven in Jamaica Already…. I have ALWAYS wanted to do this and I can’t believe that over nine years of traveling to Jamaica I haven’t once gone to church. Maybe it’s because I’ve never had such a gracious invitation until this year. The thought of going alone completely intimidated me…

  • Road Trip With A Rasta

      If You Don’t Eat Meat….   I’m not a vegetarian but have whittled myself down to chicken and fish for the most part, with the occasional dish of jerk or barbequed pork. However, after making this discovery in Mandeville I am confident that I could completely and healthily eliminate meat from my diet if…

  • Yoga In Jamaica

      Finding My Inner Peace   I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never ever jumped on the worldwide Yoga train. It was just not something that appealed to me as a “must do before I die” activity, although it looks pretty on TV when they do it on a beach in front of…

  • Best Jamaican Relationship I’ve Ever Had

    I’ve been wanting to tell the story of this dog for a year now! After almost a full year of me telling the owners that I’m going to steal it, they have finally agreed to let me take him. Now I just have to figure out how. I actually think I have the “how” figured…

  • The Real Edward Scissorhands

    Gardening in Jamaica I lied when I said small things don’t amuse me anymore in Jamaica. Cheap thrills with this video. This is the place I used to live in Montego Bay. There’s a gardener that comes in once a week to keep our yard looking absolutely beautiful and although you can’t tell in the…
