I’ll just start by saying that it was the best show ever! Bar none! Enthusiasm! That was me! It was Friday afternoon at last. The day’s work was behind me and I was fully focused on the very next event. Celine Dion at the Jamaica Jazz and Blues Festival! I will tell you that the hype cannot be too great so bear with me.

Oh the excitement! My God daughter was getting married and it was all about true romance! Still, I hadn’t really known if I’d be able to take the time from work to attend. But here I was at the Grantley Adams International Airport waiting to be collected and taken to stay for the long weekend. There I was, in conversation with some young professionals who were to attend the same function when my God daughter arrived and whisked me away. She had come to collect her God Mama…..everyone else was directed to a rented bus ! Was I special….or…. “was I special”! A great feeling!

It was a bright sunny Sunday in Jamaica when I sat down to interview Ms. June Romeo, owner of the “Sunset on the Beach” and “Sunset on the Cliffs” Resorts in Negril, Jamaica. She invited me to have a drink and I ordered a “Rum and Coke” (always one of my favorite drinks). I asked June what inspired her to get into the hotel business; it was then that I found out that she is from Baltimore, Maryland in the United States. She then proceeded to tell me the story of her journey from Baltimore restauranteur to hotel owner in Jamaica.
