    We love seeing the luxury homes but equally we enjoy the regular neighborhoods as well because it’s nostalgic and beautiful.

    Luxury is relative. Sometimes, living in a community like this is more luxurious than having all the amenities at your fingertips. Less is more. I love the simple life.

      We do too. We love the rural countryside more than the city. To us, rural feels more authentic. Not that it is, but we just like it. ❤️🇯🇲

    Tom, I give you nuff respect for driving on the Jamaican roads with such ease. Many Jamaicans abroad are very intrepid about the idea of driving in Jamaica, including me. You are a trooper and you sure have acclimated yourself to the Jamaican lifestyle with Aunty Madge’s help. Congratulations you love birds, and bless up.

I grew up in the next village, went to school in Mannings Hill and walked through this area every weekday to get the bus from Guava Gap to get to school in Kingston etc. This is a huge part of my childhood and I haven’t been back since 2006 and it was just so wonderful seeing a part of my childhood home again!

    Tom and Madge, from you turned right at the 200 year old Stony Hill Methodist Church you were travelling on Old Stony Hill Road. The community in the valley that you called a gap or canyon is named Orange Grove. It is an older upscale community and is worth a visit.
    You can access it easily from Stony Hill Road. When you drive up from Manor Park and you come to the traffic light where Madge read the signs, go right onto Story Hill Road/Long Lane.. Halfway up Long Lane on the left is the turn to the Orange Grove and Banana Walk communities.
    BTW the residence of the US ambassador is on Long Lane...on the righthand..
