    I didn’t actually stay as an overnight guest at this guest house but I spent some time there on two separate occasions and the place is just lovely! I can see why it’s called a “jewel” because it really is one of those finds and it deserves a blog post! My visit to Jamaica Jewel…

    This is quite possibly going to be my shortest blog post ever but I’ve saved this photo for months just to show you! It was the most peculiar thing I randomly noticed for the first time in all my years of traveling to Jamaica. The “cold drink fee”. Apparently when you buy a cold drink…

    Never before have I seen a rental car’s life flash before my eyes until this road trip. I’ve experienced driving in the Blue Mountains before but not with a car I was responsible for! I was actually laying in bed before writing this and the memories came flooding back so I got up at midnight…

    I spent two nights in Port Antonio recently and thought it was a big waste because nothing happened that I could write about. It wasn’t my favorite place at all, but then my friend who was with me reminded me that I have plenty to write about from one of our nights there. Our first…

    Since I’m still stuck in Canada on “vacation” and don’t have much to blog about IN Jamaica I’m going to give you my perspective on some major differences between living in the two places. Okay so there’s OBVIOUS differences like temperature, culture, landscape and all that but there are some more specific ones. I’ve changed…

    Since I’m in Canada for a few weeks and I’m lacking Jamaica stuff to write about I thought I’d turn it over to my readers to give me something to write about.  I asked the fans in my FACEBOOK GROUP to ask me any question and I would answer in a blog post.  So here’s…

  • Nathaniel Was Born With It

    Jamaican Drummer Boy Nathaniel is two years old and doesn’t even speak yet, but he’s got coordination most adults don’t have. He comes by his talent naturally since his uncle and his mother are drummers so he’d been listening to beats even before he was born. As I sat and watched this little one I…

  • The First Two Months

    I’m flying out tomorrow, back to Canada to visit my son for his birthday. This first two months living in Jamaica was always meant to be a test run because one never knows if they’re going to love something until they try it. I’m the most diehard Jamaica fanatic I know and I still knew…

  • Leroy & Hummingbirds

    Sometimes when I’m bored I go for lunch at Margaritaville because they have good internet and good nachos. I met a cool old guy who sort of works there and entertains people with his craft making. It’s really quite fun to watch him make his hummingbirds – he does it with such finesse! I sat…

  • Evita’s in Ocho Rios, Jamaica

    Since I’ve been living here and have slowly been getting tired of Jamaican food (yes believe it or not!) I’ve been on the hunt for some great foreign food. For years I’ve walked past the sign on DaCosta Drive that says Evita’s Italian restaurant but have never gone in because I don’t really like to…
