In the hills overlooking lies the old vacation home of Sir Noël Peirce Coward, a British playwright, composer, director, actor and singer. It’s simply called Firefly. Coward died in 1973, and the house was donated to the Jamaica National Heritage Trust; it is now a museum, open daily from 8:30 a.m. till 5:30 p.m. Coward is buried right there on the property, under a simple white marble gravestone on a crest with an awesome view of the Caribbean Sea, Port Maria and surrounding areas.

On Tuesday, December 22, at approximately 10:22 p.m., Jamaica and the 148 passengers and six crew members (and their loved ones) of American Airlines Flt #331, received an early Christmas miracle, when their plane which had just arrived from Miami in pouring rain and terrible weather conditions, careened off the airport’s runway while attempting to land, broke through a perimeter fence, crossed a major roadway and came to violent stop just feet from the sea – WITH NO LOSS OF LIFE. The plane broke into several parts, but the fact that it didn’t burst into flames upon impact is a miracle in itself. Below we’ve featured some aerial photos of the crash scene (photographer unknown).

Bird Shooting In Jamaica

Pictures From Jamaica — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 21:00:50 +0000

Jamaica’s annual bird shooting season typically runs from some time in August to early September. There are limits on the number (per hunter) and types of birds that can be shot, and there are specific times of the morning and afternoon/evening that shooting is allowed. Bird shooting is allowed on weekends only. Below are some pictures taken during a daybreak shoot recently in the parish of St. Thomas.
