Jamaica 1997

This was my 10th, 11th, or maybe even 15th time to beautiful Jamaica. I’ve lost count. Everytime has been worth it. Along with 13 other beautiful Black women from different parts of the U.S. My long-time friend and I planned a week in Jamaica to celebrate our 40th birthday! Some of the women had never […]

My time in Jamaica

I simply love Jamaica. Or maybe it’s infatuation. I was born there, but I haven’t lived there since I was 12. My most memorable visit was back in 1994. I remember taking the bus with some of my former teachers as they attended wknd college. For those on the bus who live in Jamaica, I’m […]

I did Sunsplash

I did Sunsplash and Sumfest last year. I tried to book hotels through the Jamiacan tourist bureau and found that things were not quite as advertised. Actually, since the shows start at about 10:00Pm and go until the next morning, you don’t really need a hotel every night. The locals sell reggae beds (cardboard) and […]

I was in Negril

Hi!I was in Negril In March 1995. We stayed at Sam-Sara resort. There is no room service but it was simply beautiful. We stayed 7 GLORIOUS days doing nothing but sightseeing and getting to know the people. I would love to “come back to Jamaica.” I am from Ohio, USA . The hardest part about […]

Negril, Cockpit Country, Sav-la-mar & Lucea

Had a wonderful, inexpensive, active two-week trip in April last year. Tried to avoid the beach/night club scene in E. Negril (missed the high season, so no good acts coming through in late April anyway). Stayed out West End Road toward the lighthouse at the incomparable Tensing Pen. Car (and eventually foot) trip into the […]

Want to Visit Jamdom again

I have been to Jamaica twice. Once two summers ago for a month and just this past summer for another month. I was 16 and 17 years old respectively. I had a penpal down there that lived in Braeton. She lived with her grandmother and other family members. I went to a part of Jamaica […]

Outside In Jamaica

The following represents random observations based on the 50+ days I’ve been lucky enough to spend in Jamaica so far. Hmmm…. What should I mention first? – The prettiest women in the world live in Jamaica. (My wife lets me say this) – Jamaica is friendlier and more real than America. I feel safer in […]

Docked in Jamaica

The Imagination docked in Jamaica..My husband and I purchased a Van trip to Shaw gardens, shopping and Dunn’s River Falls… The girls who were waiting for us at the dock gathered each excursion fit ours into a van. The girl who was our guide was most helpful. My husband and I sat up front with […]
