I couldn’t wait to do this post from the minute I snapped these pictures! Jamaican high grade (marijuana) actually grows wild in the Blue Mountains! We checked into a guest house high up in the mountains a couple weeks ago and discovered through a little hike in the hills that marijuana up here just grows where ever it wants! The owners of the guest house told me that probably one day a long time ago someone was building a spliff and some seeds just fell out into the ground. Picture of...
As a tourist I usually have to discover things by trial and error and honest taxi prices are no exception. In my experience when they see white skin they see dollar signs and think we have no clue what’s going on. I make it a point to ask a Jamaican what a certain ride should cost me BEFORE taking a taxi somewhere. That way I am prepared when the driver tries to drop a bomb and double the price. Kingston is a new place for me and I had no idea what taxi routes should cost so I indeed asked...
I’m off again everyone, so there will be no new posts until after July 28. However I’ll give you a sneak peak at what you can expect to read about when I return. I’m doing KINGSTON my way this time! A little nervous since it’s totally uncharted territory for me! But I’ve made some excellent connections there and I expect to have some great experiences with no Dudus sightings LOL!! I’ll be covering three different entertainment shows, and keeping my fingers...
I wrote about this experience a long time ago but it was lost in some technical difficulties I had on the blog last year. But I just thought of it and really wanted to rewrite and share it again. There are no photos of the actual medicine man and surrounding area, it just didn’t feel appropriate to whip out a camera. Medicine Man A couple years ago we were driving around in some back country in Westmoreland, on our way to Darliston. Our driver lived in the area and was familiar with it and...
I’ve been toying a long time with the idea of including a safety section on this blog. The main reason I didn’t is because I’m trying to highlight all the great things about Jamaica and that it’s really NOT as bad as what people think. However, I’d be a fool to say that there’s nothing to worry about and that everything is “no problem”. So this is my due diligence…to inform my readers that not all is perfect in Jamaica…just as anywhere...

I highly doubt anyone would EVER ask this question about Jamaica but you never know! And the answer is YES! The greatest thing in Jamaica is that even if you go completely alone it only takes about 5 minutes to make a friend. This day I wasn’t alone but I sure made at least ten new friends and I didn’t even have to move. I sat in the same chair for 5 hours and had the greatest day! A man who’s name I won’t mention because of the ganja pulled up a chair beside me this afternoon...
