Is this the same one???I was going to donate it to Father Jim to maybe sell but I thought it cost lots more,or did I get lucky?????

I've had this book for years! Actually have 2 copies {because I left one out on the lounger ,and it rained , the book puffed up like a puffer fish, all my handwritten journals were in the back of the book and practically got ruined} But yeah, get a hold of this book! The proper name is WALk GOOD Travel's to Negril Jamaica, by Roland Reimer. Get it on Amazon.com . I've read the book every trip down and during our Negril trip 5 -6 times. You'll learn a lot! You can buy me an ice cold Red Stripe on the beach Roland! Respectfully, "Rock & Roll Farmer"
O/K cool,we will read both books then give them to Father Jim and some other stuff,maybe he can auction them here for donations.....
Also available from Abebooks, I just picked up a copy for 11.94.
The book that I always take to JA with me to read again is THE DUPPY by Anthony Winkler which is hilarious. When I die, I definately want to go the Jamaican Heaven (not the US Heaven which is a totally different place). On my last trip, several Jamaican friends read it as well and they loved it as well. It will help your reading if you have a little bit of patois under your belt.
Winkler is a Jamaican born and raised author. One of his other books THE LUNATIC is also a good read on the beach (this book was also made into a movie of the same name).
Sunset Negril by Roland Reimer is also a very good book. Makes you want to go back to Jamaica, you know exactly where he is sometimes when you read it.
Hmmm. The link to buy Island Odyssey doesn't work any longer. I might be able to find a digital copy in my files if anyone is really interested. Or maybe I can get in touch with Francis and see where it can be purchased.

Check out Island Odyssey. Here is a link to past posts about the book and a link where you can purchase it online.
