Well - the day has unfortunately arrived for me to have to evaluate my plans … I have been going to Jamaica since 1972 & for most of the 1970's drove all over the island. We would go to sleep at 6 or 7 p.m. & get up at midnight and leave, we could reach our destination with no traffic on the road fairly quickly. So the year before last I went to re-evaluate a place where I used to spend much time in Strawberry Fields. Sea fairly rough over that way, always has been. Carver of calabash bowls murdered that day so I scrapped any thoughts of staying there too long.. I would have to say that for the first time ever, I have been comforted to be "behind the gates" of a well secured property (namely Tree House and Catcha Falling Star). For the first time ever this year I felt extremely uncomfortable, after missing the last van - after Luciano show, walking down to lane to try and find a taxi at 1:30 a.m. I wouldn't get in the taxi alone, he was nice though & said he would get more female housekeeping staff & did return for me. So apparently for me, I will forever more be a "behind the gates" … Secured Gates .. kind of tourist / visitor.
