It’s better in Bahamas (so they say)
We arrived in Bahamas in a little over an hour on a direct Caribbean Airlines flight. Immigration was hassle-free (hear that Trinidad… Barbados?), but it took quite a bit of time to retrieve our luggage. The customs officer actually searched every single one of our bags.

The parish of Trelawny once boasted the largest and most sugar estates than any other parishes in Jamaica. Chief among them is the Good Hope Estate.

Mayfield Falls – The Hidden Treasure
“Have you ever heard of Mayfield Falls?” "No. You mean Dunn's River Falls?" That was the response of just about everyone we asked about this hidden treasure in Glenbrook, Westmoreland. No one had ever heard about it, let alone been there. We were now more motivated to 'discover' this well-kept secret. As it turned out,...
