  • The Funniest Drive-Through in Jamaica

    Forget late-night fun at the MacDonalds drive-through back home.  This is the funniest drive-through experience I’ve ever had and it quite possibly makes it onto my list of top 10 funniest experiences in Jamaica….EVER! This is a public service announcement:  If you’re ever at a late night police party in Whitehouse, St. Elizabeth and are…

  • Farewell Letter to Jamaica

    Not Goodbye but “See You Later” Dear Jamaica, The time has come for me to take a break from our relationship and start seeing other islands.  But before I go I’d like to thank you for the many things you’ve taught me over the last eleven years.  If not for you I wouldn’t know how…

  • St Ann, Jamaica

    Back to my parish project which I’ve procrastinated on for some time now, knowing that St Ann would be my biggest one.  So moving east and clockwise from Trelawny, we hit the parish of St Ann. What I’ve Learned in St Ann I’ve basically learned everything I know about life in Jamaica in St Ann. …

Things…

  • Westmoreland, Jamaica

    I will start my new parish project with the parish of Westmoreland since it’s the first place in Jamaica that I experienced, and ultimately is the place where I fell in love with the island. My very first time in Jamaica – the trip I won – was to Negril.  That was in 2003 and…

  • My Parish Project – New Blog Series

    I came up with this nifty idea for a new series of blog posts while struggling to come up with something to blog about. Yes I’ve done A LOT in Jamaica but no, it’s not easy to think of fresh new Jamaica content to write on a regular basis. Having said that I was walking…
