    In the early to mid 70's when I would travel back to the US occasionally the only way to go was the Sav - Whitorn - Anchovy rd.

    It was rough but dependable!

    The past is just that.... it has passed. Constantly glorifying it as if it was somehow magical and your seeing it first somehow makes your sight better is selectively myopic.

    What is "cool" to you was a constant hassle to those who had to live through it daily. Most Jamaicans wouldn't trade what they have now for the "good old days". Ask them if they had a choice to go back to the way things were in 1975 and live with spotty electricity, no cell phones, few cars available, etc. etc. I believe most wouldn't ditch now for the nostalgia of it all.

    For myself, I get more excited for what may come than for what has been. I can't wait to return in October and have already pretty much forgotten a lot about when I was there last October.

    Just my opinion.
