Thanks for Shaping me
A Few years ago while attending a writers conference, where we were grouped off with other writers, who then read, and gave their opinions of our individual piece. After receiving remarkable reviews by all, one person came up to me and said, I love your work, and I love the fact that you wrote so […]
Make your reservations today
I am one of those people who was born here in the U.S. of parents born here as well. However, there was Mr. Victor Nelson, a Kingstonian and my grandfather! He gave me my desire to travel Jamaica and learn of my Jamaican heritage and have I been taking advantage of that. I have not […]
The Beach
The descent to the beach filled me with the same anticipation I felt as a child, scurrying down the stairs on Christmas morning. My arrival there did not go unnoticed, even before I was halfway down, my presence caused a bit of a stir out on the jetty. I saw before me, fat golden lions, […]

The Delights of the Irie Island!
Where does one begin when recounting a holiday of a lifetime? A holiday full of colour and taste and sound and smell. The perfect blend of culture, history, family, beachy relaxing and tacky touristing. Sounds like an advert for special blend coffee, but hey, I’m guessing my best option is to start.. well, at the […]
But I still love Jamaica.
I have been to Jamaica approx. 17 times. I love Jamaica, however I now have not been there in almost nine years. I have been busy raising little boys. I surprised my brother with a trip to Jamaica for his high school graduation (which was probably about 15 yrs ago). We had met a man […]
I refuse to let a couple of bad people spoil the beauty of this fantastic island
My name is Vicky and I have been to Negril Jamaica on 4 seperate occasions. I feel that it is important that I make everyone aware of the Firefly Resort and its owners. First of all let me say that I never go anywhere except Jamaica. I love so many things about it. The people,the […]

I first went to Jamaica four years ago. I have returned once a year since. I started out going with, and now I take , American work teams from Virginia to work at Carribean Christian Centre for the Deaf. I am in love!! I love working on building the school. I love going to the […]
Jamaica,Paradise rediscovered!!
It took me 2 hours to climb to the top. It was a clear day, with the sun shining bright and the winds gently swaying the trees. Standing atop the 2256m peak, I knew I had conquered. In the distance I could see Cuba. Around me I could see lesser mountains, gurgling rivers, sparkling lakes […]
Life-changing experience.
My husband and I just returned from a vacation in Jamaica and I wanted to tell you what a wonderful experience we had. It is upsetting that the hotels frighten people into thinking they shouldn’t leave the resorts because it isn’t safe. The world isn’t safe, but that doesn’t mean you can’t trust some people. […]
