    I’m off again everyone, so there will be no new posts until after July 28. However I’ll give you a sneak peak at what you can expect to read about when I return. I’m doing KINGSTON my way this time! A little nervous since it’s totally uncharted territory for me! But I’ve made some excellent…

    I wrote about this experience a long time ago but it was lost in some technical difficulties I had on the blog last year. But I just thought of it and really wanted to rewrite and share it again. There are no photos of the actual medicine man and surrounding area, it just didn’t feel…

    I’ve been toying a long time with the idea of including a safety section on this blog. The main reason I didn’t is because I’m trying to highlight all the great things about Jamaica and that it’s really NOT as bad as what people think. However, I’d be a fool to say that there’s nothing…

    I highly doubt anyone would EVER ask this question about Jamaica but you never know!  And the answer is YES! The greatest thing in Jamaica is that even if you go completely alone it only takes about 5 minutes to make a friend. This day I wasn’t alone but I sure made at least ten…

    Submitted by Elam Try to look beyond the constant bad press. If you use common sense, respect and the same street wise attitude you would in any major city, Kingston can be one of the most rewarding visits to be had in Jamaica. The ‘Blue Mountains’ are another real experience. Take a public bus from…

    This was my first official day in Mandeville, Jamaica. It was a strange day and a spur of the moment plan but it turned out to be a fun day….and quite the group of people to hang out with! I was staying with a friend for a few nights up in Mandeville and he owns…

    Way back in May 2003 on my second trip to Jamaica I saw the strangest sign I’d ever read. It said “Caution – Sleeping Policeman Ahead”. The ironic part is that I was driving in a car with a Jamaican police man so of course I blurted out “why the hell is there a sign…

    This was my first impression of Treasure Beach on the south coast of Jamaica. I was invited down there to spend some time with some of my friends who were also on the island the same time as me and they were staying at this most awesome villa in Treasure Beach!! I got a ride…

    James Bond beach is in the parish of St Mary on Jamaica’s north coast. It was definitely worth the trip to go see it and the drive was just as beautiful. It’s only about 20 minutes from Ocho Rios and the drive is ALL coast. You follow the seaside to Oracabessa and you’re there! So…
