Tubes,

Your comment (expression) is not silly at all, but extremely appreciated. Even with my way-2-many photos, more-than-necessary details and over-the-top enthusiasm regarding Portland, this forum will only generate minimal comments. That makes it challenging for me to determine whether or not what I select to share is interesting, understood or even entertaining. However, when people like you actually express so kindly how these postings affect them; then I feel the time & effort ANYONE puts into to reporting/sharing their visit is worth it. Tom, thanks for making my day.

I’m always ready to hear & read of other’s experiences in Jamaica, particularly Portland of course. So if we should ever be in that amazing place at the same time, then you will have a captive audience for sure. And the drinks will be on me.

One more thought, regarding my “mission”. LOL I actually have a BIG one planned for this summer. I can’t discuss the details yet because they are still in the development stages. But I will say that it looks like I’m finally getting a chance to give to the local community in a way I’ve dreamed about for years. Who knows, perhaps once everything has been finalized you might be able to be there and enjoy that very special event too.
