Air Jamaica

2011-06-14T11:00:00.000-07:00

I've probably posted something on changes with Air Jamaica, so this is a update on the changes. Most of us know Air Jamaica and have used them over the years. It has been unfortunate to find out that the airline has cut back on its routes, due to financial reasons. It is sad for all who loved this airline and frequented its usage. I used Air Jamaica, mostly because it offered non-stop flights. I really loved going from BWI airport and arriving in Montego Bay! That was really great. No stops along the way.

Now that I live in Tampa, Florida. I will not be able to take Air Jamaica. The city nearest to me, that it used to fly out of, was in Orlando. This route is no longer in effect, it has been discontinued. I know now that they do leave from Ft. Lauderdale, which is a few hours away. So I will probably will not be using Air Jamaica, if I have to go to Ft. Lauderdale. I have explained this to a friend of mine who always flies Air Jamaica. What are we to do now? No doubt we will use another airline. I will be checking other airlines to see what they offer. They will not offer non-stop and we will have to go through the process of catching numerous planes. Ugh!

Here is a link I found on the topic of Air Jamaica routes; LINK

Current Currency Rate (MONEY)

2010-09-30T12:46:00.000-07:00

The current currency rate for US to Jamaican dollars is 1.00US = 83.19JMD.

Foreign Currency Converter - via Western Union

The current dollar does not let you buy much. The 83.00 Jamaica dollars does not go far. What can you buy with 83.00 jamaican dollars. Not much, because everything cost. You may be able to buy a pack of cookies or some sweeties.

Ten U.S. dollars will equal to 831.94. How can you feed a family of 3 or 4 on ten dollars a day. Let's find out what we can buy, by looking at the prices of the supermarket (SuperPlus).

A loaf of bread will cost you over 2 or 3 dollars.
Some people prefer to buy flour. As they can make dumplings, which is like eating a bread with the meal. Rice is another staple that is used daily with meals.

Flour at 4.85lb will cost you $2.99
Rice at 2.2lbs will cost you $1.40 a bag 11lbs will cost $4.45

Chicken can range from $8.00- $11.00 for a whole chicken. Outside the supermarket can also be expensive.

Things like chicken feet can be $.95 for 500g. This is not alot but can be more if you add more pks. Turkey necks can be cheaper with a price of $.78 for 500g a pk

SuperPlus Corned beef can be $1.80 for 12oz. People do prefer the Grace Foods brands.

This is to give you a idea of how the prices are in Jamaica and how you may have to shop around for things. Checking prices will save you money.
Even toilet paper is $5.95 at SuperPlus. I can buy mine for $2.00 here. So if you are staying for awhile you may want to pack some in your luggage. If sending a barrel, you might want to send a whole lot of this. I think that the toilet paper is overpriced at SuperPlus.

Here is link to SuperPlus and you can look at prices yourself. You can also order online for someone. You can order online for yourself and go pick it up when you arrive. Either way some of the prices are better then the prices at the market. Although you are supposed to be able to haggle or bargain with the person selling stuff. Just remember they are out to make money and if your foreign, then they may take advantage.

Good idea to take someone who is Jamaican and knows how to deal. Also, a friend who is not going to rip you off! SUPERPLUS

Happy Shopping!

Tropical Storm Nicole causes flooding in Jamaica

2010-09-30T08:41:00.000-07:00

There have been at least 16 known tropical storms in the Atlantic. As these storms pass through. They can cause tremendous damage and flooding to the islands. The coastal areas are also hit by these storms.

There have been reports of at least a few deaths, by areas hit by these storms. Nicole has been no exception, as it passes over Jamaica. The flooding has been spread across the island. Trying to safe and dry has been a chore for many, islandwide.

We pray that there is no more deaths due to the floods. And that soon the hurricane season will be over. The island will be able to rest from the upheaval of things. God Bless Jamaica at this time.

Can your eyes see danger!

2010-09-24T09:41:00.000-07:00

I was reading a blog about the opportunist that are awaiting foreigners in some countries. How can you tell that someone is out to get what they want from you? This is not easy to see, because your eyes may be glazed over from the bright light you are seeing. It may be the new encounter that has taken your interest and you forget all about the danger. Some say that no one can take what you don't give them. Is this true? People can take from you when you don't expect this to happen.

This can happen in any relationship, whether it be a friendship or a more intimate relationship. So why say that, people can only take what you give them. If you have a frienship with someone. You are not looking for that friend to take advantage of your kindness and trust. You are looking for your friend to understand you and treat you with the same regard, as you do that person. This is also true in a relationship. You are giving them your trust.

When you trust someone you are definitely not looking for someone the break that trust, by doing something deceitful. Should we go into to a friendship or relationship thinking that it will probably go downhill at some point. Wouldn't this be a very cynical outlook on life. There are certainly things you can look at to see if you really want to have a relationship with a person.

And those things I will discuss more in my next post on Can your eyes see danger! Take care and keep your eyes Open. (smile)
Can you see the danger Mystikal is singing about? LOL!

Love from a Distance 3

2010-03-12T08:53:00.000-08:00

Sometimes, it's difficult to find the words you need to tell someone exactly how you feel. This may be even harder, when you are apart from you loved one. You think about, all the things you should have said on the phone. Things that have been pressing on your mind. These things eventually lead you to be stressed or angered. There is some solutions to solve this problem. The first thing you could do is write down your thoughts. Be prepared and ready when you start the conversation. Ask your partner to give you a few moments to express yourself. Then allowing them to speak, be a good listener. When all is said and done. The both of you should feel alot better because, you have been able to communicate to each other.

Expressing yourself is difficult and being apart makes it even harder. Enjoy, the moments you do spend together. Treasure your love for one another and it will grow deeper as time goes on.

Love From a Distance -2

2010-02-04T10:00:00.000-08:00

So you've found that special love. The one you have been searching for all this time. It's like a dream come true for you. What are you going to do now? You are living in another country, far away from the love you have just found. How is it going to work when your lives are so far apart..You may first have to consider your options and what you are getting into first. But after doing that, you still think that you are up for the challenge, then I wish you all the best.

Communication is key, to any relationship and knowing what is going on, with your love one is essential. I would first think, about looking for a inexpensive way to call your loved one. Phone cards can be very expensive, and also your phone bill can get very high. If the person has a Digicel phone, then there are options there. They can buy cards and call you or you can top off their phone online. That is if your loved one can't afford the expense. Another way is to, look for a prepaid site, were you can load from your debit/credit card. You do get more minutes this way.

Rather than buying bunches and bunches of phone cards. You may choose to use a prepaid site, which can give you more minutes for your dollar. Here is a site I use and I feel I get what I pay for. Rebtel, check this site out if you want a good deal. Hope this information is useful to those of you seeking a relationship or are in a long distance relationship.

Love from a distance

2009-12-29T09:50:00.000-08:00

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.

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.

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.

Shippin Barrels

2009-11-30T10:09:00.000-08:00

This has been on my mind for a weeks now. I want to send down a barrel with some things in it. I think that my barrel may not get there before xmas, because I haven't started to pack it yet. If you want to pack a lot of things to send to jamaica. Then this is a way to send things down at a cheaper price. I went to my local West Indian store(or Caribbean store). You can find them there and most of the time, they will cost around $30. The price to send.. can be like $75 bucks. The store that Im dealing wit said, that they will charge for someone to pick it up at my house. They said $40 to pick up. Well I'm not giving them my $40 dollars. Come on Mon!

I will get the barrel and pack it, so I know how much stuff I can put in it. I will unpack it and take it to the store. I just pack all the stuff I'm going to ship in my car trunk. When I get to the store I pack the barrel and lock it up. Why pay them more then necessary. But it's up to you. How you want to do it. That is just how I plan to do it. It's been some time since I have sent one down. I'm planning to spend some time there, and I want to make sure I have my essentials while Im there. Not that you can't get things in ja. But they might run you a bag a money. You get me. Anyway. I will post some more links on sites for shopping ect. Get your barrel now and check see how long they take to send it down for you.

Coconut Drops Recipe

2009-11-23T10:38:00.000-08:00

I found the recipe! I hope you try them. They are a delightful sweet snack that has ginger and coconut in it. Yummy!

COCONUT DROPS (cut cake)

1 Dry Coconut

1 lb. Brown Sugar

1 tbsp Grated Ginger

¼ tsp Salt

3 cups Water

1 tsp. Vanilla Flavoring

Method:

Remove coconut flesh from the shell using a knife. Cut up coconut into ¼” pieces, please don’t measure the pieces when you do this, just estimate as close as possible.

Rinse in cold water to remove the small leftover shell pieces. Bring water to boil in a saucepan, and then add all ingredients. Allow to boil for about 40 minutes on high.

Stir the pot occasionally with a wooden spoon to let the sugar keep from binding too fast. When the brew starts to develop some consistency, remove by spoonfuls and place on a greased surface.

Wait until the drops are cool, in about 20 minutes, then serve as a snack.

special thanks to these sites for recipes and photos (jamaicamix.com),(jamaica-recipes.com pass it on.

I love Poetry

2009-11-21T20:44:00.000-08:00

I really do love Poetry. I love how the words come from deep thoughts you have. I love the connection that I feel when I hear spoken word. My mind gravitates to unknown places. I love the tempo of rhyming or simplistic flow as the words come together with timing. Some people don't understand the poet. But the audience that does knows the feeling they get when they hear good free flowing poems. I love poetry. It's what I love to do, when I feel like it. I will write some here. You may like or not.

Jerk Turkey

2009-11-17T04:28:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving is coming up in a few days.. And everyone is getting ready to cook their Turkey's and pull out the Old recipes. I found a recipe for Jerk Turkey and thought I would post it here. Now, remember that jerk seasoning is spicy and if you like spicy foods then this would be great for you to try.

Preparation Time: 30 - 45 minutesCooking/Baking Time: 3 1/2-4 hours Serves/Yields: 6-8

INGREDIENTS 12 lbs. turkey, remove giblets 3 Tbsps. jerk seasoning
1/2 cup soya sauce 2 Tbsps. lemon juice 1 Tbsp. olive oil 2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup chopped parsley 1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup chopped onions, eskallion & thyme or as needed.

METHOD: Wash Turkey with some lemon/lime. This will remove the raw taste or smell.
Pat dry turkey inside out. Combine and add the jerk seasoning, soya sauce, garlic, parsley, salt, onions, eskallion & thyme to rub over turkey inside and out, thoroughly. Stuff turkey with your choice of stuffings. Mix the lemon juice with the olive oil and brush over the turkey. Place the turkey in a baking dish and cover with aluminium foil. Bake for 30 minutes then, reduce the temperature to 325°F /160°C and bake for a further 3 1/2 hours. Remove the aluminium foil, about 30 minutes before total cooking time. Turkey is ready when golden brown. Good Luck and Enjoy!

The Jamaica I Love

2009-11-14T06:53:00.000-08:00

I love jamaica, with its beautiful beaches an magnificient countryside. It's a place I call home when I can get away. I miss the days when I would sit on the veranda and watch as neighbors pass on their daily excursions. Those days are gone and the life I had with that mate. Life changes and gives us so many opportunities. Things seem to go at a slower pace in Jamaica. I love listening to the sounds that surround you and can give you such inner peace. While you sit back and read a book or enjoy your favorite refreshment. If you find you need a break from things and enjoy being in the native Jamaica. It is a experience you will never want to forget.
