My-Island-Jamaica Digest Ezine: September 18, 2022 Hey again !
Happy Sunday to you and yours again my friend!
I hope most things are well on your side. Today I share with you a question that is one of the most popular on site. Yes, it's exactly that.. how much money to bring to Jamaica? And Tracie did a fantastic job researching and presenting it. Its quite an insightful read so please forward it to someone who you think might find it helpful. And (as usual) here are three (3) other great reads from this
week: - Ackee And Saltfish Jamaican Dishes | 5 Unique Dishes To Try
- What Language Do Jamaicans Speak?
- Ethnic Groups In Jamaica
But please, remember that I also have several more great content on the website via the blog, so kindly stop by and check them out.
And now, the...
I went for the mountain sop but also found this, what the Rastafarian man calls 'The Chinese Guinep'!
Another unusual, but amazingly tasty fruit that you'd absolutely love - found right
here in Jamaica! I suspect it is the #longan but you'll help me decide.
And watch along and you'll get a bonus!
See the 76 year old rastaman climbing🧗🏿♂️ the tree like an 18 year old! Here's the link (embedded below).

Featured Jamaican Product
Last week, a brand new welcome sign was unveiled in Negril. And during the press conference, the tourism minister reportedly said that Negril raked in close to 1$billion USD dollars last year, even in a pandemic period. And that made Negril (the capital of casual) we call it, earned close to a third of all tourism
earnings in Jamaica. Last week I got a call from Ms Patricia.
Remember the fun lady in this PURPLE GOURD video?
Yes she, and she had a nice surprise for me! She had a big bottle of her signature roots drink!
I just had the last of it today😋 I might have had it all too quickly but I tell you... it nice.
So today I big up my friend again Ms Pat, and say, love and thanks family! Did you know...
... that real Jamaican jerk flavor comes from meat seasoned with pimento (called Jamaican allspice) placed on top of a bed of pimento leaves, and pimento wood sticks? Then, it is slowly barbecued over a fire. Pimento is found all over Jamaica.
This too, is yet another
interesting fact from my 101 Intriguing Facts About Jamaica book.
I you or someone you know lives in or around the Connecticut area of the USA, you'd be happy to know that Spirit Airlines will begin direct service from Bradley International Airport in Hartford to Montego Bay, on December 15.
The airline will provide four weekly non-stop flights and is the first to offer this service to
Jamaica from Hartford.
And that's it for today my friend, talk to you again soon.
