Monkey Island, Port Antonio
I know the bulk of my posts lately have been Portland focused and I promise I’ll switch it up soon. But no Portland jaunt would be complete without visiting Monkey Island! As I mentioned a while back in my review of San Bar Villa, one of my readers told me I should go find Monkey…

Driving the Coastline in Portland, Jamaica
A couple of months ago I told you guys I was heading to Portland, Jamaica for a few days and many of you requested that I stop and take plenty of pictures on the way. So I decided to one-up you and take video all along the way. I love bringing my readers along on…

Blue Lagoon – Portland, Jamaica
It’s been a LONG time since I visited the parish of Portland. It was 2009 to be exact. As I wrote in my post called “9 Reasons to Love Your Jamaican Butler”, I recently did the extreme 48-hour version of touring a piece of the parish. One of the excursions I was able to go…

The Homes at San San, Port Antonio
Last week I was fortunate enough to have been invited to stay at an amazing villa in the San San area of Port Antonio, Jamaica. The villa was called San Bar Villa and while there I was blessed to experience places like Blue Lagoon, Monkey Island, and San San beach but for now I’m offering…

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…

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…

My Close Encounter With Dolphins in Jamaica
I swear I have the best life sometimes! I’ve never seen a dolphin in real life, up close and personal. This day was supposed to be a nice casual half-day boat ride with my BFF Shelley, from St Elizabeth, Jamaica. He owns a boat and has taken us to Pelican Bar many times but this…

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…
