Driving Through Ocho Rios
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…

Ultimate Jerk Center – Jamaica
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…

Dinner in Spanish Town
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…

Ghetto Beach – Ocho Rios
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…

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…

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…

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
This post is near and dear to my heart considering how it all came about. I have to give you a little bit of background so you’ll understand how it happened and why its such a great memory, and why Down South will always be a place I stop when I hit the island! History…

Portland Marina – Port Antonio
I FINALLY got a chance to visit Jamaica’s east coast, which I’ve been wanting to do for the last few years. I got to several spots in Portland but this post will cover the marina. What a beautiful place to just hang out and chill! The whole property surrounding the marina was so beautiful….very well…
