Vince, I like your eagerness to meet Portland. I'm excited for you and just want you to get there!! When I first starting going, I wanted to get to know many people, but I am shy so it took me a while to actually make friends. But I know you won’t have any problem making connections on day one!. From the children to the adults, people are genuinely friendly and hospitable. Takinitslow is so right when he says you get the true Jamaica flavor in Portland. Tourists are there, but they walk about the roads and streets as though they live there. I know you, your family and Delroy are going to have a great time. Country living is what Portland is about.

Takinitslow, I travel on Knutsford buses and love it. Seems the four hour travel time passes quickly, doesn’t it. Very comfortable and scenic ride. Like I said, I’m happy but jealous you found a place in Long Bay. I can never visit Portland without spending time on that beach even if it’s for ten minutes.
