    It’s on a very rare occasion that I make a trip to Kingston and it’s also rare that I pay for hotel stays in Jamaica.  However, I had to do both this week so I thought I’d give you a nice, positive review of where I stayed.  It was wonderful because I certainly don’t love…

    A few years ago I wrote a post about the many ways that Jamaica has bent my mind.  Well this morning after waking up and spending an hour of ridiculousness running around the house I realized that Jamaica has done it again. The house where I live in Jamaica is a shared situation.  It’s not…

    So a few months ago I quit smoking cigarettes (YAAY me!).  To replace the habit and to help with quitting I started using a vape.  This worked very well for me in Canada but I was dreading getting back to Jamaica and resisting the urge to smoke there.  Smoking is part of my being in…

    A long time ago I did a video blog post about a bartender at Scotchies and the fun tricks he plays on customers.  You can watch that video HERE. This week, I was bar hopping for my birthday.  As I was eating birthday dinner at my favorite little place in the south, in walks the…

    This is the BIGGEST epiphany I’ve come across in Jamaica in years!!  I’m sure there will be some of you who already know this and will just roll your eyes but there must be PLENTY of you who don’t know or else someone would have filled me in already considering the amount of times I’ve…

    So this just happened.  An afternoon full of serendipity and coincidences.   This afternoon in Ocho Rios I dropped in at John Crows tavern…I’m sure you all know about it.  I came here to eat, drink and use wifi.  As I sat working away on my laptop, around the corner strolls a familiar face that…

    Last week I sent out an email to all our subscribers in an effort to do a “part 2” followup on what YOU, the readers, said about your most and least favorite Jamaican attractions and tours.  You can see the original reader feedback post RIGHT HERE.  Although participation this time around was pretty disappointing I…

    You may have noticed that the blog and especially our Facebook fan page has been especially quiet lately.  I feel like a negligent mother these days, kind of how I felt when I wrote “Where Have I been – Part 1” back in 2015, only this time it’s not because I haven’t been traveling! It’s…

    Just by reading the title I KNOW you’re dying to find out what a “barrel hero” is!  I just made it up after sifting through pictures from my last trip and I’ll explain to you exactly what it is. Jamaicans who have family living abroad often receive shipping barrels from farrin (foreign) full of goodies…

    We all know that magic exists everywhere in Jamaica.  But have you ever actually stumbled upon a totally random magic show in the most unlikely place? I don’t know how I packed so much into one night but this event happened on the same night I went crab hunting in the dark after midnight and…
