Blogs from Jamaica, Central America Caribbean - page 17

is now located on Sandals property of their Royal Caribean resort. As guests in the flagship property we had privledges to visit . Today we shuttled over to Sandals Royal Caribean to see Kokomo now called Sandals Cay. It sports a swim up bar, a jacuzzi and a parrot. It was quiet & serene so we took a walk , a dip , a drink and headed back to the mainland. There we tried a different water bike but it was so windy instead of heading to Cuba we opted for the kayak instead. The water was shallow and we got stuck for a few seconds here and there. At the resort we explored the property , watched the kayak race and had lunch and a game of checkers. An excursion in itself, it was still ... read more

The title is an old Jamacian proverb that basically means little by little we get the job done. We have realized it wont be possible to blog from this resort but not to worry, with pen to pad I'll get the job done. Today we did everything there was to do here on the resort.

So our nanny was much more than I thought she would be. Janice is so attentive, courteous and detailed. From the momenet she got those kids they have been hers every since, ... read more

Last night I was in Keiths room updating him about some things, when we heard some distant noises -- not quite gunshots -- but explosions of some sorts -- mid-sentance keith and I stand up and shout "FIREWORKS?!" We run outside and see them in the distance, we climb up onto the ledge of the roof-top patio and watch the Jamaican Independence Day Firework show. Apparently fireworks are the universal symbol of independence, or the global dependence on Chinas manfacturing industry. Either way, nothin brightens your spirits like explosions, sparks in the sky, loud noises, and distinctive clouds of residual smoke. For some strange reason my summer suddenly feels more complete. I fall asleep. Wake up and get ready for work. Fish for breakfast, and no fruit. As we are walking out the door to meet ... read more
