Love from a distance



Are you loving someone from a distance? Is your lover living in another country that keeps you from seeing them on a daily basis. This is a real occurrence in the lives of many. You find yourself on a trip abroad to enjoy a nice vacation in Jamaica, Bahamas or Cancun. Wherever the destination may be, it can involve meeting different people. Say this has occurred and you met someone you feel is mr. or miss right. Now what are you going to do about? This happens often on a simple trip to the islands. The ocean breeze blowing the sea air mixed with exotic scents. You feel like a different person in a tropical paradise. This feeling about your new paradise makes you want to pack everything and move to this hideaway you have found. Is this crazy,.. you say to yourself or is this really happening. I find that there are a lot of different reasons why people fall in love when they are visiting the islands. I will explore more aspects of love from foreign and loving a foreign man or woman. It is a journey that takes patience, diligence and a understanding of how to love from a distance.

Buju We Love You


Buju is locked up in a miami jail. This has come as a shock to most of us. To know that he is not free brings sadness to the community who love Buju so much. We pray he is released and back with us soon.

Sorrel Drinks


With Christmas coming soon, it's time for some sorrel drinks. Sorrel is a plant that has beautiful red buds. When they are dried, you can make them into a fruitful drink. It has a delicious taste that you will love. There are so many recipes for the sorrel drinks. Some people have their own special recipes and they like to keep them secret. The recipe usually includes Rum, ginger, sugar and of course Sorrel. Here is a video of the process. Hope you try it for the Christmas holiday.

Wray and Nephew


There was a fire at the Wray and Nephew Rum plant. When I heard the news I thought the plant had burned down and there would be no rum for christmas. There is no need to worry though. The fire was in a warehouse that contained barrels. There will be RUM for Christmas after all. Whew! Rum is important in jamaica, because it is used for so many purposes. I will list some for you. Just to name a few. Here is a video of the fire at the plant.
