Marlo, I am SO glad you made yourself noticed on my post today so that I could find you!!! I CAN'T WAIT for you to start rolling out your stories of this adventure. I just know I'll relate to a lot of it having done my Jamaica adventures for so many years.

I think finding you (you finding me) was serendipity. Looking so forward to following this journey!

Thanks Kristi! I like that, serendipity! Pura Vida (that's what we say in Costa Rica, which means literally, pure life, but it's used for everything-hello, what's up, thanks, etc). What is the Jamaican greeting/catch phrase?

They don't really have one phrase fits all in Jamaica. But they do have so much slang that it's hard to keep up with lol. Wha gwaan is a pretty standard greeting but other than that, there's nothing standard about them 😂

Yes time passes quickly so while we are able and capable we got to go and book that trip! It is always worth it! Too many older people have told me they wish they could have done more adventuring while they were young. We don't always know what life will throw at us, but at the very end, our memories are our most true possessions. Make them worthy of reflection! Great read and thank you!
