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…

9 Reasons to Love Your Jamaican Butler
Five years ago this month I had my first experience with a Jamaican butler. While many people pay for this service on purpose simply to be catered to, I just found it entertaining and had to make it fun for all involved. If you care to find out just how fun, you can read about…

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…

Scotchies VS Boston Jerk in Jamaica
Since I recently had to (or I should say, was privileged to) spend a few days in Port Antonio this week I made it a point to get to Jamaica’s Boston beach to try some of the famous Boston jerk. You can’t go to that side of the island and not try it, I’ve been…

Winter in Jamaica – Time Lapse Series
Ever since I downloaded Lapse It, a time lapse app for smart phones, I’ve become obsessed with capturing sunrises and sunsets. First of all, who can ever get tired of watching the sun come up and go down in Jamaica? Second of all, it gives me the inspiration to wake early in the mornings, go…

Problems Always Create Opportunities
I’m not sure whether I’ve had more instances with losing electricity or losing water in Jamaica. Either way, whenever one of those happens it starts out as a problem but always turns into an opportunity. What might that opportunity be? The chance to make a new discovery of course! You guys know me, I always…

Appearing on TVJ – Smile Jamaica
I wanted to blog about this a long time ago but I’ve been waiting to receive a copy of the actual TVJ clip of my spot on Smile Jamaica. But alas….this is Jamaica so I could be waiting until I’m 90 to get that. Anyway, on January 31, 2017 I got to appear on the…

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…

Meeting Travelers I Admire
The other night I was sitting at home doing nothing when I got a call from the Chef at one of my favorite guest houses in Black River. He called to ask me if I would come over because he had some European guests who needed assistance planning the rest of their jaunt around Jamaica,…
