My First Visit to Maroon Country Jamaica

June 1988, my arrival at Norman Manley; wild taxi ride through Kingston and dealing with the Jamaican Railray Corporation Station Master was behind me and I was now on my way from Kingston to Montego Bay. I wasn’t taking the complete six hour one way trip today, for a full fare of about $4.00 US, […]

Maroon Country Jamaica

Hi! My name is Bill Evans and I was introduced to Jamaica in 1983 by Peter Bentley, a Jamaican who owned and operated “Sense Adventures” from Jack’s Hill in Kingston. For about 9 years following that first visit, I had Peter plan my yearly and, sometimes twice a year, trips all over the island from […]

Danny’s Dream Part 1 – Jamaica Trip Report

It’s been three days since our return from a ten-day journey around Jamaica, and it’s hard to recapture the many experiences that will have such enduring effects on our family of three.

Descent

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, […]

Do Jamaica

I first visited Jamaica in October 1998. I went with a group of ladies which included my three sisters. I had a wonderful time. I did not have much money to spend, because coming up with the money for the all inclusive vacation was enough for me. However, I had a wonderful time, and I […]

NEW BEGINNINGS

Some years back, Jamaica was unknown to me, other than being a ‘pretty’ name in the atlas, a country in the Caribbean that was on my list of ‘someday’ places to visit, based solely on that meager criterion. When the opportunity came to make the trip, I found myself not wanting to know a whole […]
