    I took my daughter to Jamaica 27 time in 5 years-I feel in love with Jamaica and the people when I was very young from friends of mine that went there often-really never thought I would ever make it but I moved closer to my grown daughter to help her because she had health problems-I told her I would but she would have to go to Jamaica with me-she said but mama I am so much pain- I said you can be in pain here or in Jamaica the country of paradise and wonderful people-she said ok and she fell in love with Jamaica too -she cried the first time I took her when we was getting ready to leave-I looked at her and asked her what was wrong-( she said she did not want to leave-I said book us another trip and gave her my card to do it and she did it)

    Happy for her experience. Wish more Jamaicans abroad felt that way. Returning residents are preyed on and live in constant fear. With the level of corruption, criminality and thievery it's hard for people to return home. God bless. Hoping one day to have her experience.

      Fifteen years with challenges but would not want to live in a place that I am not known anymore. She is right about having better health and living a simple more sustainable life. I don't let fear lead the way. Learning to be satisfied is the crucial thing. We want too much in America and work too hard without being able to enjoy it. So glad she is happy and wish her all the best in life. Thanks for doing these types of videos.

I've known persons who went to JA on vacation and have real desire to live there, but don't know the steps. Anyway, keep up the good work Bro.
