  • Bathing in Milford Falls

    The EARLY morning my rasta friend Demus came knocking on my door I felt like knocking him out! He showed up with a coffee in his hand and said “GET UP, we’re going to bathe in the river!” That sounded so unappealing to me this early but I put on my swimsuit and grabbed my…

  • Olympic Hockey in Jamaica

    Hey everyone! I’m back! And I just had to post this while it’s still relevant since the Olympics just ended. Everyone knows that hockey is a religion in Canada so I needed to find a place to watch the gold medal game while in Jamaica. This was so fun because I had met up with…

  • On Vacation!!

    I’m off to Jamaica again, will be away for 2 weeks so please be patient as I won’t be posting while I’m gone. I’m not even bringing my laptop this time because I just can’t be bothered. Here’s my attempt at a map of all the stops I’m making!   I will be hitting Ocho…

  • Rise Again – Digicel Haiti Relief

    This post has nothing to do with me going to Jamaica.  But since discovering this song yesterday I just HAD to post it. It’s a Caribbean artist collaberation through the Digicel Haiti Relief Fund and it moves me to tears every time.  Even though it makes me cry it’s also very uplifting in a way. …

  • Fishing in Jamaica – Contest Winner

Here’s what she had to say about the origination of this photo: “The photo was taken in December 2006 at the beautiful white, sandy beach of Long Bay in Portland, Jamaica. Just…

  • Milford Falls – Ocho Rios

    It seems people like to take me to random cool places in the middle of the night. Not sure why these things don’t come up during the day, night time viewings make for crappier pictures. The same night I got to see a random recording studio in Ocho Rios, I also got to see this…

  • Jamaican Power Wine

    The first time I saw any advertisements for this stuff was in September 2009. Of course I wondered what it would taste like so I bought some. My first thought is that it MUST be similar to Magnum, another Jamaican wine concoction, because of the size of the bottle and the hot girl on the…

  • More Jamaican Dancing

    I can’t really get enough of watching people dance….I grew up dancing myself. Maybe subconsciously that’s why I was drawn to Jamaica, because that’s all they do there is dance! EVERYONE in that country can do it! When I’m at home and out in public listening to my Ipod I always feel like busting out…

  • Buying Produce in Jamaica

    In ten trips to Jamaica this was honestly the first time I ever saw a vendor weigh their produce before they sell it. I guess I haven’t been shopping at the right places. I took this picture while parked on a roadside in St Ann’s Bay. This guy was just on the roadside with his…
