The Liguanea Club Kingston

Let me be honest with you all this isn't about any great adventure i've had or even will had but perhaps may very well have a trip to the desert land of senegal. You see dear reader i'm embarking on a literary adventure regarding the land & people of Senegal with a book titled " Walls of Jericho" a narrative of the perilous journey of a group of ...

Jamaica was my very first missions trip. I went with Shayna and Chad for one week and we had an amazing and eye opening experience. The water was beautiful and we went to ocho rios and climbed the waterfal too-it was so beautiful! We also witnessed poverty and need in ways that we had never seen before. We were able to minister God's love to people but honestly I think we all took away much more from this experience than we could ever give!

... game of dominos which seems like the hardest game ever. They would firgure out who won by what was already played long before i was anywhere near finished with the game. after 30 min of playing i finally won a game and we promptly stopped playing. I finally went to bed around 10 long before the party ended. Which leads me to something i should have talked about while ago. Jamaicans all have gigantic sound systems and most of them play it at all ...

... point of the resort so we had an amazing view of the water and the coast in each direction.  Just below our balcony was the Arizona, the southwest-themed restaurant at the resort.   The next seven days were filled with wonderful food, beautiful sunsets, tons of sunscreen, warm clear water and some of the best bartenders ever!!  The breakfast spread was just amazing with never ending trays of the freshest and sweetest fruit I'd ever tasted.  Each meal we had was different ...

I got a ride from the airport to the upper town. After check in, I ventured in the city and was soon offered some "stuff". Oh well, no thank you. The Bob Marley museum is quite interesting and probably the only notable attraction in Kingston (other than this feeling of being in a different country).

... Kingston, Jamaica Departure time: 8:20am Left with a full tank of gas and a clean car (owned) Estimated drive time: 3.0 hours Decided to leave early morning, so that I could reach at a decent time- but not so early that I would catch traffic. TIP: Let the hotel know you may be an early check-in - my place was accommodating. Took my time and drove slowly going through ...

... price of admission. Though the movie had been showing at the theatre for several weeks, the auditorium was still packed with people. Following climactic scenes, the audience would applaud, and midway through the film, an intermission allowed a pause for soda, banana chip or popcorn refills. My cohorts and I had a good time, and my sister later added (over Google Talk) that the experience would have made a great MasterCard commercial: Ticket to See 'The Dark ...

Just to give an update... http://go-jamaica.com/weather/index-gus tav.php The Jamaican government has issued a hurricane warning. Gustav took a path closer to Jamaica and is expected to grow to hurricane (category 1) status by later today. We've been told not to go to school and to stay indoors. As of now, we're just helping to gather supplies and water. We are fine, calm, ready (as much as we can be). I'll be in touch as able. Again, please send good thoughts to ...

... the ship that had our berth relented and we picked up anchor at 09:45, arriving at the container port two hours later. Main features of the steam in were the aircraft appearing to land in the bay (the airport being on a spit of land) and the pelicans that landed just about everywhere. - - - - - - - (Later): Jamaica turns out to be less relaxed and much more uptight in a bureaucratic way than I'd imagined. Having berthed, we had a ...

... that they purchased nearby. The littlest one walked me out to the backyard. From the top of the hill you can see many little one-room dwelling dotting the fields and many more snug up against the road. For many Jamaicans, living as they can, just to get along in sub-standard conditions without indoor plumbing and some without "current" (electricity). When you stop at one house, neighbors come up to inquire. There are plenty of forms to fill out, planning, hoping and of ...
