What is a Beach Bum? Living Like a Beach Bum.
What is a Beach Bum? What is a beach bum? Is it type 1, someone who is really just homeless and living on the beach? Is it type 2, someone who takes extended vacations on the beach? Or is it type 3, someone who works and lives on the beach? I like to think that [...]

Cruise Ships in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. 390,000 Visitors in 6 Months.
Holy Crap! Almost 400,000 people have come to Ocho Rios, Jamaica on a cruise ship in the last 6 months. That to me is a good reason NOT to go to Ocho Rios for vacation. Who wants to be around all those tourists? I want to get away from all that. Reading about this new [...]

Wishing I Was at the Beach. Jamaica Day Dreamin’.
What a nasty day. After having some nice days in the 80′s, it’s now 57, cloudy and rainy. Ohio sucks. I’m just jonesin’ for Jamaica right now. Of course right now in Negril its storming, but that usually lasts a few minutes or hours, then leaves everything nice and sunny. It’s also still 84 there. [...]

Dunn’s River Falls Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Places to See Before You Die.
One thing you have to experience is Dunn’s River Falls in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Climbing this waterfall is something else. I have done it twice, and I’m hoping to make it three next year. But it’s on the other side of Jamaica. It’s not hard to do, (although having a little strength helps) and is [...]

Jamaica, Reggae and the Rastafarian. The Music of Bob Marley
I’m sitting here listening to some Bob Marley and I started to think about what Reggae is about. It basically originated as religious music, or the main musical vehicle of Rastafarian beliefs. What is so funny to me is that the Rastas believe that the Caribbean is Hell. They identify with the ancient Israelites in [...]

Caribbean and Jamaica Vacations Cheaper than Europe.
Could it be true? When I was a kid, going to the Caribbean was pretty much only for rich people. Now I’m going myself (for the third time). Because of European currencies against the US Dollar, prices there are going up. According to Ocala.com, staying in the Caribbean can even be cheaper than staying home. [...]

My Trips to Jamaica. Blue Mountains, Montego Bay, Jamaica.
I love Jamaica. Having been there twice (and planning my third trip), I have been to most of the country. I actually stayed in the Blue Mountains the first time I went. I can’t remember where, it was sort of a dormitory type place. It was about a two hour drive to get anywhere. Nice [...]
