The Blues in Jamaica

We've just spent four fab days chilling out in Montego Bay at the Air Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival http://www.airjamaicajazzandblues.com/ Fantastic!!

Dean and I were guests of the promoters - Karen and Walter (Karen is Dean's niece.)

Diana Ross was part of the headliner acts - along with Anita Baker and Jill Scott. Brilliant Diva's, a great experience!
We had backstage passes and got to hang out with the bands. We even got to stand off-stage and watch Billy Ocean perform!
The women in Jamaica are gorgeous. They're like exotic butterflies - loads of bling, fab hair-do's and lots of floaty, mutli-coloured outfits. (And the men aren't too bad either!)

Jamaica has a lot in common with New Zealand - we're both island nations, we love good coffee, good music (Reggae included),and good ganja. We both have dodgy broadband and we have laid back attitudes to life (Common Jamaican saying: 'No problem Mon'. Common NZ saying: 'No worries, Mate') 
I wanna go back!
