    Okay this is no joke! People ride in truck backs in the most UNSAFE ways in Jamaica! I often get stuck behind or end up passing vehicles like these on the roads and marvel at how they put their lives in the hands of fate. I followed these guys for quite a ways between Ochi…

    Not much to say about this video except that it’s one of my favorite ones I ever took! I went to the library in Ocho Rios one day and these kids were just playing and singing in the yard right beside the library.  I pulled out my camera and they didn’t seem to mind!  You…

    It’s 9:30pm on New Years eve, I guess I have no social life!! But in all honesty this blog has become a significant part of my life in the last year. On January 1, 2009 I made my first post and the whole thing has snowballed since then! Once I became accountable for what my…

    A friend of mine found this video on Youtube and she posted it for me asking “how does this video make you feel?” After watching it I felt sick in my stomach! I’ve flown in and out of this airport nine times out of ten trips (so far) and it’s impossible to describe the feelings…

    This is one of my favorite things I’ve seen in Jamaica – the “Happy Home Recipe”. And it was hanging on the wall in one of the smallest board houses I’ve been in. It was such an example of what life is about, instead of material things and money. Things like this reassure me I’m…

    While going through some pictures from past trips I came across one that made me laugh. I can’t even remember which restaurant I was eating at on the beach in Negril, but this is how they packaged my leftover pizza. I remember when the waiter brought it back to my table I laughed at it,…

    I think I must be lazy lately with the ridiculous cold snap we’re having here at home. It’s been consistently in the minus 20’s and I’m sad. So I routinely go through my Jamaica pictures and videos to feel good. I found this one that I haven’t posted yet….a video of us driving through Ocho…

    If any of you KNOW Jamaica you will know that music and dance is ingrained in their culture.  And they learn “from dem bawn” or from a very young age – how to dance.  It’s not unusual at all to see little kids in the street who know ALL the latest Jamaican dances. That was…

    I’m posting about Flat Bridge because I’ve gone over it a few times and have since done a little Googling about it. It has an interesting history which dates back to slavery in Jamaica. In fact no one really knows exactly what year it was built but dates into the 1700’s. It connects Kingston to…

    Here’s one place you should definitely stop when you arrive in Jamaica, if you’re visiting the north coast. Ultimate Jerk Center is right on the main highway on the way to Runaway Bay, you can’t miss it. If you’re traveling east it’ll be on your left hand side and is always worth the stop. We…
