Danny’s Dream Part 2 – Jamaica Trip Report
Our last stop in Kingston was a visit to the Bob Marley Museum. It is a bit commercial, but the essence and spirit of the man is definitely there. You see the kitchen in which Marley was shot; the bullet holes still visible, and other rooms in his house with newspaper articles, awards, original album […]
Danny’s Dream Part 3 – Jamaica Trip Report
This was to be one of the other great highlights of our trip. The drive was quite nice through the country and up into the hills. It was a pretty long ride, but just the right amount of time to whet our appetites and to get the commercialism of Ochi out of our blood. This […]

Take Your Teen To Negril
OK. Either you or your child has decided that the beautiful island of Jamaica is a must see and do. Fine. That is laudable and shows that either one or the both of you have some taste. Now, I would like to open your eyes to a few hard, cold facts before either of you […]
Hookah Negril Trip Notes
I was asked by a couple of folks on the hookah mailing list to compile some hints, tips, whatever for our April trip to Negril with Hookah so here it is. Suggestions, critiques, comments, additional questions, you’re-dead-wrong-liz notes etc, e-mail me. This is NOT comprehensive, I’m sure I missed a lot. Some people will give […]
Trip Report Jamaica Nov 2002
This report may end up being a bit long, but hopefully it will be helpful for others. When we first started out, it seemed like it was going to be one of those nightmare travel days. Heavy overnight snowfall and the subsequent de-icing of the plane delayed our first flight by 50 minutes. Seeing that […]
New Perspectives to Travel Priorities
With full appreciation to Jamaica and Jamaicans.com for providing me with countless blessings this article is based on a post I wrote originally in May 2002. I have visited this Jamaican Bulletin board and others for some time and have learned a great deal. I, like so many of you, have been visiting Jamaica for […]
Jamaicans.com Bashment 2003
I leave my house at 3:30 a.m. taking my old Chevy Caprice bound for the Logan Express lot in Braintree. I throw my heavy bag in the back seat; hope it’s not over weight at the airport. I have about 15 pairs of sandals (among other things), which I hope I don’t have to explain […]
Jamaica Mon
Jamaica MonBy Lisa Reynolds It was the single woman traveler’s worst nightmare. I stood at the airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica melting in the humid, sticky 90-degree heat with only my sweat suit, running shoes, and a novel stashed away in the computer case slung over my shoulder. My luggage sat on the tarmac at […]
The Bracelet
The Braceletby Marilyn When I took my 11th trip to Jamaica I finally had it made the bracelet. I always noticed on my trips to Jamaica that small change was thrown around all over the street. When I would bend to pick it up, a friend would say, ‘Leave it, that’s nothing.” Never say that […]
