Gotta say that I have been more than concerned, obviously from a prior post I made.... Mainly, with the number of tragedies in such a short period of time. It was truly killing me because I absolutely adore Jamaica. It has been an emotional savior to me for many years now.
I have standing reservations and as of now...I have decided to keep them. I have often split times in Belize, Bonaire, etc...then after about a week, I was so looking forward to get back to Jamaica. I always missed the roadside food, the slap of the dominoes, the reggae, and so many familiar faces. I can't say that I haven't enjoyed the variety of other islands, but Jamaica is the one that I always return to with gusto.
I do have to say that I am so very grateful to have this board. Freedom of expression, releasing one's feelings or anxieties, giving opinions whether they are positive or negative, are always welcomed...as long as they are respectful. Big ups to all for this! That in itself is beyond words wonderful. We all, obviously, care about Jamaica, or we wouldn't be coming on this board. But, when one cares about something or someone...we want to know the good, bad and the ugly. It is "ok" to want to know the runnings of an area that we stay ...Knowledge is power. So, as they say, soon come...yet I will be more aware than ever that terrible "sh-t does happen" and I will be much more aware than ever. Pray that change gonna come for the better. Until then, I will be keeping myself updated as much as I can.
