Coach Meals DO EXIST On CARIBBEAN AIRLINES!!!
Being a frequent jet setter has offered me special perks with particular airlines… Free baggage checks, priority access, upgrades, and VIP treatment that makes traveling fun and easy!

I’m often asked how I’m able to each so much good food and still maintain a slim physique… Well, it’s easy sounding, but not easy doing! I work out as much as I can (2-3 days a week minimum), and about 2-3 days out of the week, as much as I can, I solely eat [...]

I loathe a buffet, but I love a great breakfast! And what I learned during my recent stay at the paradisal RIU RESORT in Ochos Rios, Jamaica this past weekend, is that I’ll readily forgo my disdain for buffet-style food when the recipes are international, beautifully displayed and quality and freshness are blatant at first [...]

There’s a perfect imperfection to good and authentic homemade Jamaican and/or Island food. In order for capture the essence of their distinctive, savory, robust and extraordinary flavors, aromas, and textures, the chef must walk a thin line for detailed recipes that are greasy without being oily, musky without being funky, and spicy without being fiery.
