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 […]

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.

The lunar eclipse that changed Jamaica forever.. (A fact-based, fictional account)
Tano stood on a hillside trail overlooking a horseshoe-shaped harbor where nearly nine years ago he had stood by his father’s side while they watched three strange sailing ships invade their fishing grounds. The White Gods advanced in small boats on the normally friendly Tainans, who were attempting to defend their land and village from […]
Babylon by Bus: In Closing the Trip Home(REVISITED)
The strange sound of the Abeng horn was echoing through the town as Sergio and I lay in bed and just stared across the room at each other with wide grins. This was our last morning in Jamaica, and Marshall, in his own way, was letting everyone know that his new friends were leaving today. […]
