    Ever had Jackfruit? Embarrassed to say that it took me ten trips to try it! I guess I just didn’t know about it but I’m sad it took so long because I loved it!! And I probably wouldn’t have tried it on the tenth trip either if my driver didn’t stop to buy it for…

    In September I went to visit the town of Nine Mile, in the parish of St Ann, Jamaica.  Nine Mile is better known as the home of Bob Marley.  It is where he was born and grew up and is now a famous tourist attraction long after he’s gone. Being in Nine Mile was like…

    First of all I would like the sincerely thank Club Ambiance for their generous offer of staying with them to write this review, because if they had known up front that I don’t really support the all-inclusive resort lifestyle maybe they would have thought twice.  I’m more of a “go local” person and I’ve never…

    I met Damian through a close friend who used to live in Jamaica, and he’s been absolutely reliable transportation for me ever since.  The first time we met, my airport transfer from Montego Bay was arranged through this friend and it was Damian who picked us up.  The first thing I noticed was his really…

    Since Ackee and saltfish is my favorite Jamaican dish I thought I’d add another post about it. CLICK HERE to see my first post about it way back when I first started writing. On my September trip I had ackee & saltfish on my very first morning for breakfast.  My friend Marlon picked it straight…

    On our way back from Nine Mile we decided to stop at a friend’s roadside bar in Coultart, near Claremont in the parish of St Ann. The girl I was traveling with used to live in this area and the bar was owned by her friend, nicknamed “Steaka”. Steaka has quite the little village in…

    In September I went back to Spanish Town to see the family I had met four monthes earlier.  CLICK HERE to read how and when I originally met them.  Now when I read that old post it seems odd to me that I focused so much on calling it “the ghetto” because it seems so…

    This place isn’t really called “ghetto beach”.  It’s more commonly referred to as Little Dunns River but a friend of mine introduced it to me as Ghetto beach, so the name stuck.  This little hideaway is located right outside Ocho Rios, off the main highway across from Dunns River falls.  The hike down the hillside…
