On my first trip I felt a strong pull that I could not define. After repeated trips I was able to identify that feeling as "home". My ex said for years that she thought I was a Jamaican soul born in an American body.
Then I met and eventually married my beautiful Empress Donna who was born and raised in Oracabessa, St. Mary. After that it really was coming home. As others have said, when hotel and restaurant staff, drivers, and old friends greet us with welcome home, that says it all!
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him. KJV Psalm 68:4
Really!!! Going home in 3 sleeps!
"If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home"
Drink Eat be IRIE!
I have a cute story to share with all in regards to Big Frank's posting.Originally Posted by Big_frank
About 5 years ago my husband and I returned to Jamaica after being absent for a while do to some medical reasons and decided to do an AI at SATP so it would be easy goings on him after surgery. One night after dinner they had some live music and mentioned that they were going to sing the staff's favorite song. Well of course I thought it would be a Bob Marley song WRONG it was John Denver's Take Me Home. The place was in an up roar. To see the pride and the smiles on the staff's face's I will never forget to this day and now that is one of my favorite's Thanks Big Frank I have now posted this on my FB

Rosalie... Actually, Toots and the Maytalls recorded a cover for that JD tune and it's become sort of a reggae standard. I always enjoy that one when it comes around on my playlist...
