This short post is partly in Memory of Rhonda of NJ who worked hard all her life and made frequent visits to the island when she could find the time.
She wanted to retire there but died before doing so, at 64. Follow your dream while you can is the message.
The stem of this is a post by a guy who was warned by friends in Chicago not to go into the hills, and within 15 minutes he was in the hills. The xchange rate at the time was 28 to 1.
To wit, I posted this reply:
I remember 8 to 1 exchange cause it was my first, and the next LASTING memory was 60 to 1 because it was stable for a long time. Other steps not clear beyond they always went up little by little. Humorous now how the do-not-go into the hills caused you to go into the hills. Now that you have matured, and might stress out if someone ignored your advice, I am glad you had a good time. Two expressions come to mind: 1. The young do not always do to what they are told, and 2. God protects fools and children. Of course, 2 other things are also true; 1. early Jamamica was different, and 2. Many good visits are because of the great citizens of the island.

Tangental, there are also FoxFire Cindy, Pirate, and MusicMon who have left us too soon.
