JitterBug, As long as I have been traveling to Jamaica, it wasn’t until staying in Portland that I had the pleasure or opportunity to chat like that. Get this, they told me they would give me the 411 on any Portie mon who asks to be my boyfriend. LOL LOVE IT!!!
those men would tell the truth!!
LOL Vince, I can see you traveling that way and also sitting in the back of an open trunk!
JitterBug, you got that right. And I would trust their opinion/advice as if my future depended on making a decision based on it.
Little hand-painting signs are posted on trees, fences and rocks to guide you to the falls. If you happen to miss a sign or two, no worries, just ask ANYONE and they will gladly tell you if you are headed in the right direction or wrong direction….lol
The sweet part about arriving to the falls, and a definitely excitement builder, is you can’t see the falls until you are standing in front of it. Your anticipation for that first glimpse builds and builds as you travel over the gravel field/road enclosed by one of the most majestic mountain views in Jamaica. Gently driving thru two or three streams. Follow the grooved trail that appears to have a secret ending. We all sat silently as Tommy coasted to where he can park.
Even after parking, getting out, and stretching…you STILL don’t see the falls until you walk the rushing water runway.
I already know this will be my fav part...those falls are spectacular come on give it to us...i'm ready for this!
It's AMAZING how here at work on spare time, I look at ANYTHING that says, speaks, looks like Jamaica. And I say to myself, I've seen that picture before, that is over by.... or I'll go I think I remember seeing that or heard about that. But wait a minute..... Your pictures have GOT ME saying " mon, you can't say ANYTHING now can ya!" For once I have NEVER seen pictures like these that you share with us! Simply AMAZING part of Jamaica!

Vince…oh my…THANK YOU for that wonderful expression. I can “feel” your heart in those words. However, SammyB, Takinitslow, Rob and anyone else who has spent time in Portland will simultaneous proclaim that none of these pictures capture the true beauty of that place. Just wait…you’ll see…
Sammy…here you go…
