      I'm a senior on a FIXED INCOME and I'm a faithful supporter I can't afford paterion (misspelled). I was so waiting for the pic of the Marley's home and grave site, only to be told that the pics were only on patreon. My rant for today 😂❤.

    As a Caribbean girl I'll tell you you did the right thing. Book your guides and tours through the resort. Even so, try to see reviews before you choose. Be safe and enjoy!

    At 73 I traveled to Ghana and it was truly life altering. Our trip was planned and executed by an awesome touring company. Braafie Tours met all our needs and beyond at a very reasonable price . We didn’t feel like tourists, we felt like we were home!

    That Walmart is one of the cleanest Walmarts that I have ever seen. Seriously though, they do come in clutch when you're on the road. They just do.

  • @islandbaby4704
    @islandbaby4704 10 месяцев назад +12

    Just an FYI You can find many of the Jamaican seasonings in the US. Try looking in the Caribbean/ Latin aisle of Walmart or any grocery stores. You can definitely find the Walkerswood jerk paste seasoning in the jars. And the curry powder and oxtails seasonings. Also, you will pay a lot less than you did in the airport shops. Or try a Caribbean/West Indian market in the US.

    Your lifestyle is perfect for your age. You are young but mature, you are healthy, you are smart and cautious and you are charming. Most people have to wait until they are retired to travel and then they have worse health, less energy and won’t be able to enjoy as much as you will. I’m very proud of you!

    Seeing Jamaica outside the confines of a resort is eye opening. Seeing where Bob Marley grew up and all the other places and the culture and the people simply couldn’t get if staying all of ones visit at a resort. Thank you for sharing your experience.

    Having lived in a motorhome full-time for 14 years, we made our domicile Florida because no state tax, and also it is close to Savannah where my daughter lived. But we never stored our vehicle. Another great place to have a domicile which many, many people do is Texas also no state tax. And also South Dakota, which is a big domicile stayed for RV’ers. If you join the escapees, they have many places in Texas where you can store your vehicle and also they take care of your mail. You just have all your mail sent there and then request it when you were going to be someplace long enough for it to get there. Escapees is a wonderful organization and I think you should look into that.

    Hello I'm glad that you had such a great time in Jamaica and that you were able to bring some of the Jamaican flavors home with you. Have you ever thought of getting yourself a 3qt. Instantpot? Walmart has the Instant Pot Duo Mini 3-Quart, Electric Pressure Cooker reasonably priced. Cooking under pressure makes all cuts of meats tender and it cuts the cooking time too. Pressure cooking is just one feature and it has 6 other functions also. I Love my instant pot. The 3qt. size is small enough to use in your van and you can make the best Oxtail soup with it. Just a suggestion - Happy cooking.

    So glad you had such a great time in Jamaica! I think you would enjoy watching/following a couple that I also watch who do van life. They are called Snow & Curt. They traveled all through Central and South America going to places that are not tourist traps. They really got to know the people and saw some really cool things and met a lot of interesting people. They just shipped their van to France and now are beginning van life thru Europe. Check them out! Love you!!!

    Hey Nomi... I have an idea for your patches. Sew them onto your curtains in the van. That way, you can take them with you if you change things up later. But you can see them all the time when you're in your van. 😊 win win 🤗

    When I visited Jamaica two years ago this also changed my life to want to travel the country but for the most part being around a culture that is pure and genuinely care about people . This will be a yearly trip for me along with other countries . I totally agree and for anyone that want an experience of true life visit Jamaica one time and you won’t regret.. I knew her response was going to be so exciting because Jamaica 🇯🇲 love people

    You went to Jamaica and didn't buy any rum. Next time you visit, buy the small flasks of rum cream, white rum and Appleton. Just to try them, they'll keep for a long time.
    Also, Walkers Wood jerk can be vingergary. Try Dunns River, they'll have it in Flatbush in NY.
    If you visit the UK, they'll have it in London too.
    Happy travel - from 🇬🇧🇯🇲

That EasSpice Curry and walkerswood jerk seasoning is the bomb..Yes, you can put that oxtail seasoning on any meat not jus oxtails, even chicken..If you don't have the dark Browning, or soy sauce you can also use dark molasses.. Next time get the all-purpose seasoning, you'll love it..❤❤❤🇯🇲

    Putting patches on a shirt or jeans, they'd be laundered a lot more often than on a jacket. If you put a lot of patches on, it would make the clothing warmer too.

    When I watched your last video and saw that you were in Jamaica, I literally threw my hands up in the air as if I was doing the wave. I’m so happy for you and this chapter in your travel life. Thank you for your transparency. As you think about places for your new vehicle, I hope you will consider Nebraska. It is conveniently located in the middle of the country. Also, Omaha is a foodie’s paradise. Believe it or not, some of the best restaurants in the United States are in Omaha. And there are restaurants everywhere. I’m looking forward to seeing where you go next. Safe travels!

    Try the international grocery stores because they might have those exact same seasonings. Also, the international grocery stores have different cuts of meat. For example, beef neck bones are a less expensive alternative to oxtails. Also in Chinese cuisine, dark soy sauce is mainly used to give food a darker color. Light soy sauce or regular soy sauce is used for flavor. I suspect the recipe specified dark soy sauce for that reason. And there is a Chinese cuisine influence in the Caribbean, so it makes total sense for that to be used.
