Crotch Rockets in Jamaica
I have a couple things to admit. #1 I didn’t even know what the term crotch rocket meant until recently. #2 I was pretty scared but exhilarated riding this one! Over this past summer I’ve become familiar with being a bike passenger but never on one of these kind. I’m only accustomed to riding on…

Steertown Sunsets & Street Watching
Many of you know I gave up my apartment in Ocho Rios after nine months of having my own “home” in Jamaica. The way it went down was quick and I didn’t know I was giving it up the last time I left the island so of course I kept it intact thinking I was…

Do You Want Your Car Washed?
I put this post under “favorite questions” because this WOULD have been a good question for a car washer to ask me before he washed it. On a random day my friend and I were driving from Montego Bay to Ocho Rios and we decided to stop on the way and stock up on some…

Check Your Weapons
Not that there would ever be a necessity for this elsewhere but I’ve gotta hand it to Jamaicans to be this organized at high profile public events! I’ve also never seen this at any other events besides this one – the Boscobel air show in St Mary, Jamaica. They actually had a security truck sitting…
