    So now that the hoopla of Christmas is over and I have time to sit down, the thought of Boxing Day popped into my head.  Today is Boxing Day and I chuckled a little out loud at the play on words.  You’re probably wondering, “What play on words?”   Well….since I’ve now had the little piece…

    I was inspired to blog about this because of the sheer beauty of the project!  I found out about Jamaica By Air in a pretty roundabout way.   A man named Pierre made a comment on one of my blog posts today and as it turns out he used to be a member of an old…

    So a few months ago I quit smoking cigarettes (YAAY me!).  To replace the habit and to help with quitting I started using a vape.  This worked very well for me in Canada but I was dreading getting back to Jamaica and resisting the urge to smoke there.  Smoking is part of my being in…

    A long time ago I did a video blog post about a bartender at Scotchies and the fun tricks he plays on customers.  You can watch that video HERE. This week, I was bar hopping for my birthday.  As I was eating birthday dinner at my favorite little place in the south, in walks the…

    This is the BIGGEST epiphany I’ve come across in Jamaica in years!!  I’m sure there will be some of you who already know this and will just roll your eyes but there must be PLENTY of you who don’t know or else someone would have filled me in already considering the amount of times I’ve…

    So this just happened.  An afternoon full of serendipity and coincidences.   This afternoon in Ocho Rios I dropped in at John Crows tavern…I’m sure you all know about it.  I came here to eat, drink and use wifi.  As I sat working away on my laptop, around the corner strolls a familiar face that…

    It’s safe to say that most of us have a love-hate relationship with our phones.  The joy of hearing the voice of a loved one far away or getting a hundreds of likes on your profile picture on Facebook is often counter-balanced by the frustration of having bad service or worse, no connection.   Here’s…

    This evening I was idly killing time scrolling through my Twitter feed when I stumbled onto a tweet about the Gully Queens of Jamaica.  It immediately triggered in my brain the fact that about a week ago I was having a conversation with a lady at work who had just returned from a vacation to…

    You may have noticed that the blog and especially our Facebook fan page has been especially quiet lately.  I feel like a negligent mother these days, kind of how I felt when I wrote “Where Have I been – Part 1” back in 2015, only this time it’s not because I haven’t been traveling! It’s…
