Dear Angella,
I got an email from Prem, seeking feedback on my visit. Formality dictates that I should reply to him with my review, but I think it is more fitting that I write to you as the primary recipient of it - since it was you with whom I dealt mostly, you who put so much effort and energy into this vacation on my family's behalf, and truly made me feel at home.
I have been to Jamaica seven times. I thought I knew Jamaica and most of its offerings. In fact, it was during one of my early visits that I said I wanted to move to that country, have dual citizenship or somehow become associated with such a warm, beautiful, earthy place. But during none of my visits did I feel as though I was returning HOME. Until this past holiday.
