(if you like to know where this blog started please read the first post(the beginning 8/10/09), thank you and enjoy!)
In the world of Narnia, a light post was the children's guidance to find their way home, and to find their way to a wonderful land where they would learn great lesson. Sometimes though a lesson must be learned before a light post is planted, just read The Magician's Nephew to see how the Lantern Waste Land came to be.
It took my brother, his friend, and a thief for the island of Jamaica to learn it's lesson. When I was little, we went to Jamaica for several years in a row. It is still my very favorite island in the Caribbean. Anyway, on
e time, when we were there, my brother and I made friends with another brother/ sister combo. Us two girls hung out in the Mongoose Club at the Grand Jamaican Hotel, where we were all staying at, and the two boys would explore the hotel, and beach all day. One night when there was a party at the hotel, my brother and his new friend snuck out and went to the beach. They walked and talked and then they got robbed. This man came out of no where and ripped the little containers that hang around your neck, and holds money and room keys stuff, off and ran. Niether of the boys could give any discription of what the thief looked like because it was pitch black on the beach. Everyone was super great about what happened. Both of our families were invited to the owner of the hotel's birthday party... and my brother got drunk off of the rum cake, lol. That was the first cake my brother actually liked!

Do not take this story as a warning to stay away, but rather a reassurance that Jamaica learns from it's mistakes or misplanning and wants to make each of their visitors have a happy, safe, and enjoyable vacation on their wonderful island of paradise. Sites to see is: Dunn's Falls, Negril, and Montego Bay.
