International Youth Fellowship and CHOICES @ Jamaica College

It was joyous; it was energetic; it was full of fun......And the 6th form boys of Jamaica College enjoyed every minute of it.
The interning students of the International Youth Fellowship (IYF) after only three weeks in Jamaica were a real hit as they did their Patta Patta dance as part of JC students introduction to IYF and its summer camp being planned for Jamaica from June 21-25 at the University of the West Indies, Mona campus.
CHOICES was there to support IYF in its mission of changing the hearts of young people.

ONE SHORT CARIBBEAN DAY

Work is work. We know that..but if you want to relax and enjoy the travel and all the different scenes then leave yourself enough time in between stops, journeys and islands. Yes, it's called island-hopping and you can literally make even 2, 3, 4, 5 as many stops as you wish in one day, but, why not stop and smell the roses along the way?

LIAT Luggage

You must have heard that old LIAT (Luggage In Another Terminal) joke. Well, it has happened to me and, no doubt, to many others also. But that was then; this is now?This time I arrived on time and so did my luggage, on time and in the same plane, on all LIAT journeys.
Caribbean travel can be fun, if you're not on serious business and with a tight schedule... as happened to me on other journeys in the recent past.
It was 2007 - The plan - jump off a plane in Barbados at 9a.m., scoot into a waiting, pre-arranged taxi; whizz off to the other side of the island for one early morning meeting and then squeeze in another mid-morning in Bridgetown on the way back to the airport - mid-day check-in for a 2p.m. flight to St. Lucia. Sounds tight? Well it was not even tight until my suitcase did not arrive with me. As you can imagine more than precious moments were lost while being reassured that it was on its way and would arrive to meet me in time to travel on to my next destination.
Needless to say it was a very nervous passenger who arrived back at the airport at id-day to check in and find out if my luggage awaited me. And it did. Luckily, that time. So remember, don't expect that your luggage is always ready to take off when you are.

Trinis are getting ready for carnival. You can feel it in the air and see the preparations going on - they're knocking, banging, hammeing, putting up, fencing,tents, booths, stages. The Savannah is being walked all lover by exercisers preparing body and mind for the biggest jump-up festival....and, of course, Beyonce to top it all off.
