RE: CLOSED - Coffee Conversation - a chance to #WinHive

delicious, smooth, sweet, bitter-free and unique texture

You have described the taste of the JBM coffee so well. I've always wanted to go to Martinique, but direct flights across the Caribbean are not available anymore it seems. I made it over to Curacao many years ago, but apparently, that's changed.

I think your choice of Jamaica would be a great one, since you already enjoy the Caribbean flair and love the JBM coffee:)))

I would love to take a trip to the Blue Mountains too, but I don't think I'll make it this trip. None of my friends is prepared for that steep journey, and it's the opposite end of the island from where I'm currently at. Hopefully some day though 🤞

Sort:  
As they say, “hope is never lost”. I was close by for family reasons, as my son Matthew's mother is of French descent. I am Caribbean by birth, Venezuelan, but I settled in Canada twelve years ago. Furthermore, I don't think I made it to the top of Blue Mountain on foot either, but I'm sure I would have made it in a helicopter… Since with fifty-seven calendars, you don't have the physical conditions for the goal.

Damn, you make me feel kind of stupid now. When I worked at that very resort, the Prime Minister came there regularly. I was very close to his chief security who offered to take me on a tour in the helicopter SO MANY TIMES and I refused. I'm slapping myself now!

For Jamaicans, going to the French or Dutch Caribbean islands is a big treat. Even though some of them are not as naturally pretty with an amazing geographical layout as some islands like Jamaica, their towns are clean and well-maintained. There's also order and a strong presence of a strong government with law and order that might be lacking in countries like Jamaica.

I do hope that you still get to visit Venezuela sometimes, and I trust you now have an appreciation for the Canadian cold 😁

LOL!, the cold here is torture, but the snow is a beauty. I learned to love the four seasons; each has its charm. God willing, on the 14th of December I will travel to Venezuela with my son Matthew, it has been twelve years since I last set foot in my homeland. It will be Matthew's first trip to Venezuela, he will meet his uncles and cousins...
