I will be staying for a month+ in the summer. I usually do it solo, but i have a dear friend, a newbie, coming to stay with me for a week. These are things i think she should know about the experience.. Please add to these.. And correct me if i’m wrong.. thanks

Things to know before you go:

You won’t see many tourists in the summer. Nobody goes in the summer; it’s too damn hot!

Some places close up, but most stay open and have lower room prices, a good deal. Food and alcohol prices do not go down, and are not that cheap, depending on where you go. About same as in US for dinner, but lots of cheap eats too.

Major reggae artists perform during the peak season, Nov - March, but not in off season. There will still be music, but more local music.



Some things you can do:


Meet interesting people.

Chill in a hammock

Chill in crystal clear water - everyday!

Enjoy the Vendors.!

Listen to the Music. And the Rooster!

Read a book

Take a road trip.

Watch the ‘parade’ on the beach

Have wonderful meals

Play dominoes

Get to know the locals who are there year after year, in the same spot

Meet some of my friends

Make friends of your own

Watch sunsets on the West End

Watch sunsets on the beach

Walk the Road

Sleep late

Get up for sunrise

figure out where your soul is and where you want to go next in life. i find it the perfect environment for that.

Find unexpected blessings!
