Oh, I agree...Belmont is so beautiful! Your pictures of the Mandeville Hotel make me want to visit. It looks so wonderful.

Incredible! I really would like to sit down and meet with u and HM...
I was thinking~~ I think you should make a book for yourself and a copy for your mother and more importantly father.
You could include pictures and print it out ...with pictures of course.
I think this could be a good bondoing experince ~ your father could have an insight to your travels and the person you are!
The way he warmed up when u told him you were with your cousin,that same warmth could come across in your book 4 him.
It does my heart good to know people like u abd your husband exsist in the world.

Excellent idea!! Daisy, you could make one of those books very easily on a site like Shutterfly. What a special gift that would be for your dad. I know you mentioned that your dad is going to Negril in August. Will he also get a chance to visit Mandeville? I cannot even imagine the range of emotions that your dad will experience when he "returns home" again and reunites with family. Just, wow! Thanks for sharing your incredible story with all of us. I now have to keep a box of tissues handy whenever I read your updates.Originally Posted by Fun in the sun

Great report Daisy! Love the photos of Mandeville! So, if I understand it correctly, you are related to this Jamaican family by marriage (your uncle's marriage to a Jamaican woman? ) Just trying to understand the connection and follow along! Sorry, I think I missed where you mentioned the details. I can totally understand you not wanting to leave Blue fields. It's just so gorgeous and peaceful looking! Forget a belly flop contest (sorry turtles!:-), but I think I probably would have stayed there all day getting to know my newly found cousin, haha!

Great report, Clarity. You're pulling out all the stops. Absolutely fantastic.
Plus, the way you roll from town to town, with each hotel or guest house better than the last, you're bigger than Popcaan!

Yay Daisy--more of your incredible story, and of course as always, it melted my heart. The family connections, stunning photos of the land I love, and just the amazing good karma and destiny playing out is just over-the-top amazing. I should know better by now and not read your reports in public as I always cry like a baby. The family stuff just really hits home.
That Villa was out of this world gorgeous. I can't imagine staying in a spot like that even for one night. So cool your family put you and Marcus up there. Breath-taking views. And your breakfast at the hotel is my favorite breakfast dish.
A million thanks for your continued sharing. I know I have said it before as have other boardies, but this is such great book material.
I always find my eyes welling up with tears every time I read your reports. Thank you so much for bring all of us along on this amazing journey with you. And what an incredible blessing that you were able to talk to your father on that car ride, possibly change your future relationship with him, and become the inspiration for his journey back to Jamaica and family again.
