Recently we visited the Rosehall Great House again......which has been dubbed as one of the world's most scariest places.  Little did John Palmer know that his small, petite wife, Anne, possessed 'black magic'.  The grounds are still immaculately kept and the tour fascinating.  Not only did Anne kill more than two husbands but also lovers............a must visit on your next trip to Jamaica....unless of course you're too scared!!!!

Hi my traveling friends !

Jamaica is such a diverse island as we are really a melting pot of Africans, Europeans, Asians and Indians all mixed in an exciting diverse culture.  You can experience all these cultures by the foods, crafts, arts and traditions.  Did you know that neither the ackee or breadfruit was actually originated in Jamaica?  Take your vacation to another level in Jamaica and visit mountains, waterfalls, caves, coves, ride horses in the sea and swim with the dolphins.  Come on, we'll be waiting for your!!!!!




Negril Sunset!!!!

Hi all!!

The weather in Jamaica is just awesome!!!  Its just about 82 degrees.

A little history lesson today -

Christopher Columbus first documented his visit to Jamaica in 1494 and gives details of the island's beauty.  He literally described it as the fairest land his eyes has ever seen.  This beauty has not changed much over the years, it is still as extraordinary as before.  The good news is that it is much easier to get here, just about 3 hrs from JFK in the US and only a hour and a half from Miami!  When packing your bags don't forget your sun tan lotion, bathsuit and you should just be fine.  An 'irie' feeling will await you - oh, this means good, happy, fine.  See you then......


here is a picture of a beach in Negril, Jamaica

Hey all!  If you are planning on visiting Jamaica any time soon or later here are some destinations you should explore - Montego Bay, the tourist capital, Ocho Rios which actually means 8 rivers and also home of the world famous Dunns River Falls and of course Negril if you want to just relax on many of those miles of white sandy beaches.......One tip make sure you have a driver before you arrive and prices decided to enjoy the many packages available.

Sorry guys, I have been 'tied up' for the past weeks taking care of family business.   I also visited the US and - is it cold!!!!!  Makes me miss the warm sunshine in Jamaica even more.  The recent Jazz and Blues Festival         is going great!!! Ken Boothe, Third World, Eric Donaldson, Leroy Sibbles among other Jamaican artiste performed Thursday night.  Third World is performing now 40 years!  Jamaica one love!  visit us soon.

Jamaica - No Problem

The very first time I heard the quote, I thought to myself - 'Where in this world don't we have problems?'  I looked on how we communicated with each other, the laughs, the tears, the sadness and happiness.  One thing we all had in common - for the most part we genuinely loved each other.  Now I'm not talking about the crazy 2% but the the 98% of good, decent fun loving people.  Now I understand why year after year, Jamaica boast a visitor return rate higher than the average.
