    Your story is inspiring. My father left us 6 acres of land, it’s not close to a beach or anything desirable by some standards but we are happy to have it. We fenced the entire thing to prevent squatters and we have finally received approved plans to sub-divide and build 3 homes, one for each of us. My brother took the existing house and is currently extending it. The challenges you talked about is no joke and living abroad while trying to get things done in Jamaica cannot be explained.
