    This wasn’t my first experience with a power cut in Jamaica but it was definitely the best one. Last night almost all of Ocho Rios and surrounding areas had a power outage and it turned into one of my most memorable nights in this country. There was nothing amazing about it except the cool vibes.…

    I’m STILL laughing about this one!  I got pulled over for my first time yesterday in Jamaica – for not wearing a seat belt.  First of all this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard because I’ve never seen anyone wear a seat belt here, second the only other time police have paid attention to…

    This post is more about knowing the right people than flat tires and oddly its not my first post about getting a flat tire in Jamaica. CLICK HERE to see the first time it happened to me. I discovered a couple days after getting this car in Jamaica that my tire had a slow leak…

    In all my trips to Jamaica and even to Spanish Town I’ve never once gone through the town center and stopped at the old burnt out government buildings. I’ve only ever passed through there and I even remember about 6 years ago the person who drove me through said if we stopped I’d get shot…

    This is my first blog post after moving to Jamaica!  My apologies for being absent for so long but internet is an issue here sometimes and I’ve been busy trying to remedy that plus getting settled in.  Today is one week since I arrived and there have been some things I learned along the way,…

    If you’ve been following me on Facebook at all you’ll know that in 13 days from now I’m relocating to Jamaica on a more permanent basis. I’ve been building up to this for years and now that it’s finally approaching (FAST!) I’m getting less excited and more nervous! But excited still. The shift in lifestyle…

    This post is near and dear to my heart and the discovery of the flask in Jamaica was an epiphany for me….the one who isn’t a cheap date at a bar! And years after my first trip to Jamaica someone FINALLY let me in on the flask secret which isn’t really a secret at all!…

    Now that I’ve experienced every possible way to get around in Jamaica I guess it’s time to compare! The only thing I’ve not done is the Knutsford Express which I intend to do just for kicks one day, and because it’s more comfy than the minibus 😀 **2017 Edit** I have since done the Knutsford…

    Reader Submission by Erin Cooper I am the first to admit, I like All Inclusive resorts. I like the ease of everything and having everything I could possibly want or need right at my fingertips. Free flowing alcohol, buffets, beach side grills, entertainment, pools, etc. But there is one thing that the All Inclusive CAN’T…

    This was just something that caught my eye last time I was at Rick’s Cafe in Negril. They’re apparently making an addition to the already tourist-ridden attraction. Would you climb on this? Just sayin’!! To me, they look like match sticks that would blow over in the slightest breeze. You can’t tell me those bottom…
