    Oh my gosh! I can't wait until the end to comment. I'm so excited you were able to spend time in Jamaica. I am glad to see Ali got a much needed vacation! You two are so cute together. Jamaica is on my list of places to go for sure. I love love love Reggae music and have to admit also enjoy smoking weed! From what I've seen so far, Jamaica looks to be very similar to the Hawaiian islands. I actually spent 5 weeks on the island of Kauai last year. Would you believe I also went to a private farm where my cousin is the caretaker?! He fed us passion fruit, coconuts, cacao beans, bananas and so much more right off the trees and plants. It was surreal and idyllic and unforgettable. I spent most of my time on the north shore. Hanalei Bay is arguably THE most beautiful place on earth. There is a famous hiking trail that people come from all over the world to do. It's called The Kalalau Trail. I have only hiked part of it as it's 11 miles one way with some treacherous terrain due to heavy rainfall. Anyway, I would love for you to go there. On another note: I love sharing this story. I forget how many years ago it was now but my ex-husband's cousin Meg spent a lot of time in Jamaica when she was a young adult. She established friendships and bonded with some players of the Jamaican Women's Soccer team. Well, it just so happens Meg was an all star soccer player in her own right and they asked her to be on the team. I think she played for two seasons. She posted the team picture on FB, I'll try to find it and send it to you. It's hysterical to see this one little white face in a sea of black women. lol I know it would be a major coincidence but she was in Jamaica earlier this year; you may have seen her...? She sort of reminds me of you but she is not as tall and her hair is a lighter brown. ok...back to the rest of the video and on to the next one. I'm feeling Irie this Sunday morning. I love the Israelite song and to have someone singing it for you....priceless. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place!! PS - I'm sorry I'm a bit behind. I have been busy doing volunteer work for the Red Cross and home projects.

    So good to read your thoughts Stephanie. I can tell you have a real passion for reggae music! I really hope you'll book a flight to Jamaica soon. If you can, stay a few weeks. If you can't, go anyways, but don't wait too long. We always wait too long on things we want to do! I loved to read about your experience in Hawaii. I know nothing about those islands, so far away from my home country. I would absolutely love to go explore like you did!!

    Awesome video MJ. Those windows are called "jalousies". I recognized the type from my two years living in Hawaii when I was a teenager. From Wikipedia: A jalousie window or louvered window (Australia, New Zealand, Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia, United Kingdom) is a window composed of parallel glass, acrylic, or wooden louvres set in a frame. The louvres are joined onto a track so that they may be tilted open and shut in unison to control airflow, usually by turning a crank.

The louvres are joined onto a track so that they may be tilted open and shut in unison to control airflow, usually by turning a crank. Jalousie is the French word for "jealousy". It originated in 18th century France from the Italian word geloso, which means "jealous" or "screen", as in to screen something from view.[1][2] Because of their slatted louvres, jalousie windows protect the interior of the house from jealous, peering eyes (when not made of a transparent material like glass).[3]" They have them all over Hawaii as well. Hawaii is known for its trade winds.

    Nice video MJ, well done!, and what a surprise to find you all the way over in Jamaica!. Was wondering if this was Ali's first time there as well?, or if he had come up with the idea, after being there previously perhaps?. Yeh anyway, I think your video work was really great actually, and it's sometimes easy to forget just how much work goes into getting all those shots, along with all the appropriate editing involved. Looks like you also got some valuable experience driving on the correct side of the road for a change, which could come in handy if you ever find yourself down here in the Antipodes (one mad Italian driver's, not going to make much difference to all the idiots out there on our roads!). But seriously though, I shouldn't joke, as I'm quite sure you're a very capable and sensible driver, as I believe many women are actually! (and I firmly believe that to be the case with women in most fields generally!). I was thinking while I was observing the interior of that Jamaican dwelling, that it probably had a quite distinctive smell about it, because of the age, and type of wood they're using. Can you confirm if this is the case?. Anyway, it's good that you got an authentic view of how they live over there, and met some genuine local characters in the process... cool stuff!.

    Jamaica is a pretty easy going country away from the big Resorts on the beaches. Just its a bit poor. The Blue Mountain coffee is worth getting if you can get up there. Jamaica is famous for the runners they produce like Usain Bolt which translated into the Winter with the Bobsled team aka Cool Runnings. They are the fastest people you'll see on any track. unfortunately you won't be able to see Port Royal as its lost in the sea. Its all thanks to a huge earthquake long ago and the entirety of Port Royal fell into the sea, but it was a huge pirate haven basically a lawless town inhabited by the most famous pirates. which came to an end thanks to the british outlawing Piracy. though it does live on through artifacts coming from the water.

The USA has tremendous wealth, but it's concentrated at the top. There is a lot of poverty in America, you've seen that. And look at the Emirates, The UAE has a higher per capita income than the USA, where some members are said to have three classes: The Rich; The Richer; and the Richest.

    @@daviddb4858 Exactly, only a handful of countries would consider Jamaica “poor”. That’s a problem because wealth is relative to the point of view you’re watching from. While hanging out with locals in Jamaica they didn’t give me the impression to consider themselves poor, at all. They seemed more than content with what they had. That’s what makes me ask, if someone from the rich,insatiable, West says “it’s a pity they’re poor”: is it really a pity? Are they really poor? It makes me think that maybe we need to redefine wealth, because Jamaicans didn’t give me the impression of being poor at all. But this is a huge topic to discuss in the comment section alone.

    Patwah is very important in preserving Jamaican culture. Unfortunately some foolish Jamaicans look down on the language as talking bad or not speaking properly. You visited a quiet side of Jamaica which is even more friendly and peaceful. Rastas are some of the most peaceful, loving and knowledgeable people in Jamaica. Jamaicans over all are very peaceful and kind, but like everywhere else you have the good and the bad. Mi luv yu Video Dem (I love your Videos).
