Jamaica Discovery Tours
This is a sponsored post submitted by Jamaica Discovery Tours & Vacations. Although I’ve never experienced touring with Jamaica Discovery I’d never say no to a tour company that approaches me looking for a help boosting their services. I know that many of my readers are “do-it-yourselfers” but it never hurts to have options and…

Budget – Everywhere I Wanted It To Be
Roadtrip!! With overwhelming response, the theme to my current treks around Jamaica in the last couple of weeks has been “ROAD TRIP!” I had everyone across the island in on our “1, 2, 3, ROAD TRIP!” chant with hands in the air, and it was all made possible by Budget Rental Car Jamaica located at…

Jump On A Motorcycle Taxi In Jamaica
Bike Taxis In Negril I once wrote a post about how I’ve tried every method of transportation in Jamaica but I lied. I’ve known about bike taxis for years but just never took the opportunity to try one. Why? I have no excuse because I’ve stayed up in the residential hills of Negril…

8 Minutes Of Driving
Random Drives Around Jamaica Driving isn’t just driving in Jamaica. For me each drive is a different adventure even if I’m not going anywhere special. Well, a few weeks ago I found my road-tripping soulmate! One of my readers who is also a travel agent with WAY too much personality was down here in Jamaica…
