    You know I always rave about meeting the coolest people in Jamaica right?  Well they aren’t always Jamaican – I’ve also met some of the most awesome people from all over the world because of the island and this blog. I spent part of my last trip in Runaway Bay reviewing some places to stay…

    This is the cutest story EVER but really it just wrenches at my heartstrings because as much as I want to, there’s nothing in the world I can do to change it at this time.  All I can do is just hope that Lucea and Hanover will still be in St Elizabeth when I get…

    So I sent a letter directly to the Minister and Junior Minister of tourism in Jamaica about my feelings towards the image of tourism on the island. I’ll never know what happened to the letter unless I magically get a call saying they loved it or hated it. I was encouraged to stop sitting on…

    I hope you weren’t looking for factual climatic information about Jamaica weather, with factual seasonal temperature guides. Here are my factual Jamaica temperature guides; June to August: Just don’t go. September to May is bearable and even comfortable. There are two or three nights in ten years that I’ve actually slept with pants on because…

    When I’m doing a long, boring road trip back here in Canada one of the things I do to pass time is look at and memorize the license plates on passing cars. Yesterday I was on the highway when I passed a car with the first three letters of SAV on their plate. Immediately I…

    What To Do When You Have No Mosquito Repellent I admit that mosquitoes in Jamaica don’t bother me at all. Lots of my friends hate that because while they’re being eaten alive I’m sitting back comfortably, not suffering. Well leave it to Jamaicans to have a natural remedy for EVERYTHING ….including mosquito repellent. This was…

    This is a quickie to update you all on my arrival after hurricane Sandy hit Jamaica. This morning I had nothing to do so I set out on the road to find somewhere to eat that isn’t where I’d normally go. I headed towards St Mary and stopped at Tower Jerk Restaurant & Bar in…

    I’ve been wanting to tell the story of this dog for a year now! After almost a full year of me telling the owners that I’m going to steal it, they have finally agreed to let me take him. Now I just have to figure out how. I actually think I have the “how” figured…

    Treat Day at The Animal House I know you all know about The Animal House because I keep pushing this place on my Facebook page trying to encourage donations.  Well I went back to the shelter last weekend and I really needed to share this experience with you all because it was one of the…

    This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things I’ve done and probably this trip shouldn’t even count towards my trip totals, but nonetheless I did it and it was quite the whirlwind experience!  Take two crazy Canadian chicks with birthdays in November; one with hotel connections and one with flight benefits.  Put…
