Apr 20th, 2009 at 9:30AM: One man with a gun can do a lot of damage. A weapon-wielding nut-job held around 180 hostages on a Canadian plane in Jamaica yesterday. He chose the landing in Jamaica as his time to act. All passengers were eventually released unharmed, but five of the original seven crew members were still held hostage in the CanJet plane at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay. (CNN reports that he's ...Bob Marley Day and a charming version of Three Little Birds
Feb 6th, 2009 at 10:00AM: Today is Bob Marley Day. Marley, born February 6, 1945 is the musical genius who put Jamaica and reggae in range of the world's radar. Starting today through Sunday, there are various festivals and celebrations occuring around the globe as a way to honor Marley and enjoy his music. Here's a link that lists several events. Five of them are in the United States. The United Kingdom, Finland and ...Party naked with accountants
Jan 8th, 2009 at 9:00AM: If you are headed to Hedonism II with visions of tight bodies and loose morals, you'll certainly find the latter.

Basically, this spot in Negril, Jamaica just makes it easier for you to shack up with the same people you'd ...What is a "dangerous" travel destination?
Jan 6th, 2009 at 2:00PM: I've been thinking long and hard about what it means to travel to a "dangerous" destination lately because I'm in the process of planning a 2-month trip to Cuba. While Cuba is not considered "dangerous" to citizens of other countries, it does send a little shiver up an American's spine when thinking about the potential consequences of traveling there without a visa, which I might end up doing. I ...Missing: Jamaican beach
Oct 20th, 2008 at 12:30PM: A beach has gone missing in Jamaica, and no one is blaming erosion, global warming, or stormy weather. Police suspect that someone(s) stole five hundred truckloads of white sand from a planned resort at Coral Spring Beach. The theft was in July, but no arrests have yet been made, which begs the question: How does the removal of five hundred truckloads of sand -- or anything -- go unnoticed? Many ...Subway from JFK to Manhattan is looong, but cheap
Jan 29th, 2008 at 4:10PM: While a taxi is the most comfortable way to travel from JFK airport to Manhattan, it isn't exactly cheap. (Unless, of course, you are traveling from the UK. Then it must seem like a bargain). The trip will set you back a flat fee of $45 plus tip. If you have more than 3 people traveling, it makes sense. New York taxis don't charge you by the person or by the luggage, unlike some places. (Hello ...Photo of the Day (10/29/07)

Amazing sunset from Nigril, Jamaica, shot by mbf2005.
I awoke this morning to temperatures near to freezing here in Prague, and, let me tell you, I can feel the warmth coming right out of this photo.
