The Black River Villa Review That Never Happened
Every once in a while I go through photos to see what I’ve experienced in Jamaica that I’ve never written about and this villa popped up as one of those things. This accommodation review never happened because even though my review was supposed to help launch this property as a guest rental, it never launched.…

In The Eye of My First Tropical Storm
The summer of 2016 marked my first near-hurricane experience in Jamaica. I’ve always just missed the big storms, sometimes even by mere days but that summer I was right in the middle of one. I had planned to write about this a long time ago but each time I thought about it the Caribbean was…

Street Vendors in Jamaica
I Needed Pillows If you’ve been following the blog over the last couple of weeks, no doubt you’ve been reading the first three parts in my luxury resort series, which has yet to conclude (more parts are coming!)Â However, just so you don’t think I’ve completely crossed over to the other side, the home…

Revisiting the Cave (without fire this time)
I don’t know how many of you remember a post I wrote about visiting a hidden cave last spring. If you do happen to remember that post you’ll also remember that all of us nearly suffocated to death because we were smart enough to light a fire inside the cave lol. So I’m here to…

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…

YS Falls, St Elizabeth, Jamaica
So it took me over thirteen years but I finally visited YS Falls this past summer (2016). I made the journey partly because I’ve been saying forever that I would, and partly because it was a million degrees outside and I would have done anything to cool down in August in Jamaica. From Black River…

Somewhere on the Appleton Estate
It’s usually in the last few days of any trip that I make the most magical discoveries and it’s always done by meeting random people, adding an attitude of trust and a simple “just go with it” vibe. This has never failed me yet! During my last 16-day jaunt to Jamaica, by way…

One of Many Hidden Caves in Jamaica
So, who knew there were a bunch of underground caves in the hills high above Jamaica? I sure didn’t. I would have expected it in the Blue Mountains but not hidden beneath farms in St Elizabeth. This excursion was quite a random happening and although I nearly died more than once on the same hike…
