The Oleander Room

One of our all time favorite Sandals restaurants. Only the best white gloved service mixed with a healthy dose of Caribbean Flair, makes the Oleander Room a must see while at Sandals Montego Bay.

... and sewage and God knows what? You don't swim in Pattaya, Thailand. It's not healthy; everyone knows that. Can you safely swim in MoBay? They got two tourist police for each tourist here. Why can't they hire some people to pick up some trash, too? But there's no time for abstract speculation. I need an exterminator... fast, before the Thing decides to franchise and found new colonies. I need a weapon. I need antibiotics.

It's hard to ...

... like cool weather. But it makes no difference when something's got you in its grips, a bug or virus or something. I hate that feeling, that out-of-body experience that puts you beside yourself with fear and anxiety, not to mention unease and disease. The weather actually serves as something of a consolation, not just that I'm not missing anything, but that the chill is not only internal. It's almost like the front came to Jamaica ...

... are quite a few native speak**s from oth** places going th**e to fill the gaps. For me the opportunity to study and use some Dutch is a treat. Th**e aren't many places you can do that, and the similarities to English are profound. For exotic ethnicity Suriname probably also ranks highest, though I would hesitate to ov**rate it. Most of their ethnic groups drop their affectations on arrival and blend into a more gen**ic ethnicity, though I ...

... out. Sometimes it's nice just to blend in to the point of being ignored. Anything else is a subtle form of racism, however benign. But it CAN be fun, all the extra attention, especially if you're a novice traveler looking for thrills. Me, I'm past all that; yeah, right. No, me, I'm just looking for a wi-fi signal. What was optional a year ago is no longer so. I'll pay extra for a wi-fi signal and even go without cable TV. I just opted ...

... for the Kingdom and that the Lord will continue to work on the hearts of these children and their families, many of whom do not attend church. Pray also for a good turnout for our closing program on Friday morning - it is a holiday and several of the children are also leaving for vacation on Friday morning. Thanks for being part of the team!

... is separated by rocks. Don't expect to walk from one beach straight to the other cause you can't. One beach has a shallow path of rocks that leads out into the sea to big boulders. It is in this area you can see sting rays, bright colored fish, star fish and many other tropical fish in there own environment. On the main beach you can rent snorkeling equipment or better yet bring your own, we did both. The best part of this vacation for me ...

... Ocho Rios ("Ochi"). The fellow who was sitting beside me in the plane was going to Runaway Bay (located between Montego Bay and Ocho Rios) with his girlfriend. It was his first time flying and his first trip out of Canada. He was very excited. A sure sign that we were hitting warmer weather was when Martin removed his long underwear and put on his shorts and ...

... It is worth pointing out that it is in the realm of the excursions where I felt Jamaica came into its own, and there is a blisteringly great range of tourist activities which I felt fully exploited all of what the island had to offer. These excursions include the obvious climb up Dunn's River falls, to rafting on the Martha Brae, and a day trip to the glorious beaches of Negril, and a stop at Rick's cafe, where cocktails, cliff ...

... rewarding than walking down the street in Flanker and having a bunch of my students run up to me yelling "Teacher!!" as they try and tackle me with a giant group hug. 4. Jamaican TV: Although I am blessed to have cable, I have watched my fair share of TVJ and CVM, the two Jamaican television stations. The Jamaican news, especially, is very amusing/gross. I am now used to seeing dead bodies being pulled out of houses and wailing women mourning ...
