• RETURN TO JAMAICA

  Posted on Tuesday September 9th, 2008 at 13:37 in jamaica, commentary, reggae sunsplash

  Many people don’t believe me when I tell them that I have been to Jamaica over 30 times. It is true - all you have to do is look at my passport. What is even more astounding is that all my trips to JA took place over a 16-year interval, from 1980-1...
