  • YEAH MON – Is there an App for that?

    Apparently there REALLY is an app for everything with Iphone! This is something I just noticed in Sangster airport since September because I never noticed it in April. It’s an application for Iphone where you can see and hear Jamaican Patois and learn to speak it LOL. Hilarious! Mind you, after looking over it, it…

  • Landing in Montego Bay

    Landing in Montego Bay is wicked and it NEVER gets old! I just did my 9th trip and still….I always book my seat on the right side of the plane because that’s the side you can see the island on when coming in. I take pictures every single time I land there too. Like I…

  • 1-800-CORRUPT?

    Alright this will be my shortest blog post ever! While driving on the main highway between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios we saw a pretty decent car accident. This police cruiser was at the scene and I noticed the bumper with a phone number on it: 1-800-CORRUPT. It seemed pretty funny to me considering the…

  • Blue Lagoon – Jamaica

    On a day trip to Port Antonio one of our missions was to stop at Blue Lagoon. Yes this is the place where the Brooke Shields original move “Blue Lagoon” was filmed. I’ve seen some spectacular pictures on the internet of this place, unfortunately mine aren’t as amazing! I’ve heard the color of the water…

  • Jamaican Steamed Fish

    Fish is super popular in Jamaica, especially among those who aren’t real meat eaters. You can find steamed fish on almost any menu in any cook shop there, and its real grass roots cooking when you order fish. They start with….you guessed it….a whole fish. One thing that amazes me when my friends cook for…

  • Turtle Park – Ocho Rios

    Turtle Park in Ocho Rios is one of the most beautiful and quiet places to hang out. It’s located right in the heart of Ocho Rios near plenty of shops and hotels, and is beautifully maintained. Because of its central location it’s a great meeting spot. It has plenty of benches to sit and relax,…

  • Skateboarding in Jamaica?

    Okay honestly this is the most unexpected discovery I’ve made in Jamaica!  I had no idea anyone attempted skateboarding there!  I have heard there’s a rollerskating arena somewhere but not skateboarding.  One of my friends in JA last year told me he’d seen it on TV and would like to try. Last month I went…

  • Down South Restaurant – Falmouth, Jamaica
