Thanks JohnG for the confirmation. What made me wince a likkle at what you wrote was the idea that Ian Flemming, Errol Flynn, etc. "discovered" anything except a cheap place to live like a king. I hate using the word "discover" when writing about Jamaica. Especially the idea that Columbus discovered Jamaica.

I appreciate your photos and your recollections of a much earlier Jamaica that I first visited in 1983. Hearing your stories and seeing your pictures, I so wish I would have gone earlier myself. Nuff Respect.

Peace and Guidance

Well,

Like I might say I discovered Negril, meaning I became aware of it not that I was responsible for doing anything. In the same way I meant those guys from the 40's and 50's became aware of the beauty and tranquility and the close proximity to the eastern coastline of the US which makes it easy and quick to get to unlike say Tahiti which is 2/3 of the way around the world. Many have at the Jamaican's expense made fortunes off their backs and continue to do so now. But that is universal and I have no way of impacting that other than how I live my life and treat others. Do one to others, so how any of those rich guys lived is not my cross to bare.

Well said Rambo! It's much easier to do that in paradise - Jamaica may help you reconnect, but unless you continue to work on it back in the real world...
