Hi everyone! I live in the lovely, freezing Minneapolis, Mn part of the country! My first trip to JA was to Montego Bay in 1981. We were there when BoB Marley's funeral was taking place. I was hooked early on, although I did skip a few years in the 80's to explore other islands. Having been fortunate enough to spent a lot of time on the island before it got too crazy, I am now like many of you having challenges adjusting to the new vibes. I traveled alone for many years and loved the freedom of doing what I wanted when I wanted. It doesn't feel safe to do that any more. But yet, I still return. Used to be a beach dweller, but have enjoyed stayed on the West End in recent years.
Right now, my job is looking for a job after having my position as an HR/training and development exec for a large non-profit eliminated after 11 yrs. As I look for my next great adventure, I Am stashing every nickel and living on
unemployment and the $'s I make teaching yoga. (Yes, yoga is my passion!). I am having a bit of withdrawal from the rock, but my two furry kids (west highland terriers) are helping keep my spirits up!
I lurk a lot, but really appreciate the positive energy of all of you and this board! Some day I will figure out photos....
