around & about Port Antonio

“Yes of course, I’m fine…I’m in Jamaica.[/QUOTE]<<<<<Agreed!!!!

Trust me, Vince. Had I been a part of a scene like that here, the minute that door cracked open I would have ripped into him for leaving me in a car like a neglected puppy.

But it happened in Jamaica. I mean how many other lovers of that land have found themselves accommodating or shrugging off inconveniences that wouldn’t be tolerated back home??? I believe it’s because we actually take a minute to consider the circumstances and not waste time with negative reactions when it’s not necessary or won’t change the situation.

I love that anxiousness doesn’t accompany me to Port Antonio.

The wipers are working and I’ve recovered from near suffocation, so we seek soup and pineapple chunks.





Mr. O chose the lunch setting…the grounds of Titchfield High School.









I listened as he shared memories from his days of playing cricket, attending classes and being a semi-mischievous teen.

I longed to see young adults clustered on the fields and benches laffing with friends like I used to do when I was their age.

Its moments such as this that are the most precious to me when I’m away from the touristy part of my visit and connecting with Jamaica on the personal tip….



There’s a spot behind the school yard when you can catch a clear view the lighthouse, ocean and Navy Island. Because the ground is elevated, a sensational breeze blows continually across that plot making you want to stand there a gaze for hours…..or at least until it starts to rain.

Once owned by Errol Flynn, Navy Island, from what Mr. O tells me, was jumping with activity at one time. A restaurant, bar, marina, wedding chapel and African style cottages drew visitors seeking a quick getaway. Sadly, the boat rides stopped thus ceasing all activity.

You can see the ruins of an abandoned cottage. From time to time, some still go over to swim and enjoy a picnic lunch. I asked if it were safe to do, he said “yes”. I hope to take a trip over on my next visit.
