S&B Sunset Gardens – Parottee Beach, Jamaica
Call me lucky but I always find the greatest things and places in Jamaica by accident. If I hadn’t been shopping for pillows in Santa Cruz one day last month I may never have run into Bill and Shirley who happen to own the cutest little B&B on Parottee Beach near Black River. After meeting…

Courier Services in Jamaica
This is something I never thought I’d be blogging about in Jamaica but I think it will definitely be useful information for some people, whether visiting or living on the island. This is not a sponsored post, it’s just some knowledge that I’ve gained and want to share. Now that I run a business here…

Waking Up In Lucea
Even though I’m in Jamaica to work and run a business now, sometimes I get to mix a little pleasure with that business if I plan my time smartly. Last week I wrote about my little daytime jaunt through the town of Lucea in Hanover but that jaunt actually began a day earlier. As I…

I Died and Went to Vegetarian Heaven
I decided that I’m coming back as a Rasta in my next life. But then again – why wait until my next life? A few days ago I had picked up some travelers that I met through this blog. We made arrangements a couple weeks ago to link up when they got down to the…

Obtaining a Tax Registration Number in Jamaica
Okay this post is meant to be informative but it’s also kind of funny and exhausting all at the same time. It’s about obtaining a TRN (tax registration number) in Jamaica, which is something you will need if you ever intend to do business here, buy a property here, or even ship things here. Anyone…

Fort Charlotte – Lucea, Jamaica
It’s been a long while since I deviated from my south coast sanctuary and ventured out to explore other parts of the island. I guess I got comfortable where I was. But yesterday I had a delivery to make in Negril so I thought I’d take advantage of the fact that it was the weekend…

Meeting Travelers I Admire
The other night I was sitting at home doing nothing when I got a call from the Chef at one of my favorite guest houses in Black River. He called to ask me if I would come over because he had some European guests who needed assistance planning the rest of their jaunt around Jamaica,…

Four Seasons Hotel – Kingston, Jamaica
It’s on a very rare occasion that I make a trip to Kingston and it’s also rare that I pay for hotel stays in Jamaica. However, I had to do both this week so I thought I’d give you a nice, positive review of where I stayed. It was wonderful because I certainly don’t love…

Curry Chicken, Breadfruit and Natural Soup
You just know it’s going to be a good day when you drive into your yard and see a Rasta sitting under a tree waiting for you! I swear I’m so spoiled in Jamaica with the group of people I know. They show up unannounced and ready to cook and the anticipation kills me over…

Another Way Jamaica Has Bent My Mind
A few years ago I wrote a post about the many ways that Jamaica has bent my mind. Well this morning after waking up and spending an hour of ridiculousness running around the house I realized that Jamaica has done it again. The house where I live in Jamaica is a shared situation. It’s not…
