    Normal situations in Jamaica can turn ugly and dangerous in no time flat and that’s just a reality.  This was one of a handful of times in Jamaica that I really felt  that my race and where I’m from played a major part.  Jamaica can be a lonely place in times of trouble. The first…

    Well, well, well.  It’s January 2, 2018….not January 1, which was the ninth anniversary of this blog.  I took the day off on January 1 because, well….I can. So much time has passed since the beginning of this blog that I forgot what it’s like to not be a blogger.  This blog has morphed SO…

    This distant memory that popped into my head the other day is definitely worth writing about.  I met Tanto Blacks before he was even Tanto Blacks!  His name was Tommy back then and meeting him was of no consequence until one day, he got famous and then I was like “HEY, that’s Tommy!”   WAY…

    One of the MOST asked questions I’ve received by email over the entire history of Jamaica My Way is,   “How do I get a job in Jamaica?”   Back in my early Jamaica days I would have asked the same question to anyone who would listen because I simply just wanted to be on…

    Every once in a while I go through photos to see what I’ve experienced in Jamaica that I’ve never written about and this villa popped up as one of those things.  This accommodation review never happened because even though my review was supposed to help launch this property as a guest rental, it never launched.…

    The summer of 2016 marked my first near-hurricane experience in Jamaica.  I’ve always just missed the big storms, sometimes even by mere days but that summer I was right in the middle of one.  I had planned to write about this a long time ago but each time I thought about it the Caribbean was…

    Since my 40 Leg and my Banana Spider posts are some of the most highly read and commented posts of all time, I thought I’d share another Jamaican critter with you guys.  The only difference is that I don’t know what this one is called besides a giant caterpillar!  And I have no clue what…

    I sometimes get bored on Sundays and boredom either leads to binge eating or sifting through my billions of Jamaica pictures and video footage.  So I decided to put together a little montage / promo video.  Partly for your enjoyment but mostly for my own.  Yea, I’ve earned my right to be selfish.
