On the track there was nothing but happiness expressed towards Prine Harry.

This past month Prince Harry went on a tour of the Caribbean Islands.

Prime Minister, Portia Simpson Miller, has called anew for the severing of ties with the British monarchy.

Jamaica has been independent from Britain since 1962 but still recognizes the queen of England as head of state.

Prime Minister Miller says   “I think the fact that August coming will be 50 years since we have gained our independence, that it’s time for us to sever the ties,” she said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press.

5-day Jamaican Getaway for $390 for two ($780 value)

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="300" caption="A beach in Negril with a hotel and restaurant (Photo credit: Wikipedia)"]A beach in Negril with a hotel and restaurant[/caption]

As you all know I  love my cruises to jamaica. I don't talk about the resorts that my country has too often. My son recently went and stayed at the Negril Treehouse Resort. He said the Treehouse is one of the secret places on the island to take unbelievable pictures. Several palm trees on the beach and an impeccable landscaped resort.

 

What to do:
Sun-worshipers can lounge by the private pool or walk along seven miles of pristine Jamaican beach, while those looking for some action should use their $20 credit for jet- and water-skiing, (or parasailing for a bird’s eye view of paradise). Luxury lovers should make use of the $20 massage credit included with this Offer with an hour of relaxation from the resort’s own massage therapist.

What’s nearby:
For hungry guests who prefer to stay on-campus, Negril’s Treehouse Restaurant offers an exotic array of spicy local specialties. Feeling adventurous? The resort is more than happy to help you arrange tours of the swamps and rivers of Black River Safari, or the tiered, cascading waterfalls of Dunn’s River and YS Falls. Kool Runnings Adventure Park, a mere two miles away, offers fun for all ages with rafting, laser tag, water slides and kayaking.

[caption id="" align="alignright" width="300" caption="View of Montego Bay from the hillside. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)"]View of Montego Bay from the hillside.[/caption]

 

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Thursday August 18, 2011 – Carnival Cruise Lines has reached an agreement with the Government of Jamaica, which will guarantee cruise ship ports in Montego Bay and Ocho Rios at least 1.2 million visitors over three years.

The agreement will ensure that both ports maintain current levels of cruise arrivals, despite the competition from the new Falmouth Cruise Ship Pier. Carnival has also agreed that if it fails to deliver the agreed number of visitors, it will pay the difference between the actual numbers and the guaranteed figure.

Rum Cake for NBA Basketball Royalty, Lebron James!

Rum Cake for Basketball Royalty!



Rum Cake is the cake to get for any special occasion. But when its someone like LeBron “King” James, its takes special to totally different level! The King celebrated his 27th birthday on New Years Eve and the coming of a wedding with a a 5 tier Caribbean Rum Cake.

The cakes were made ahead of schedule, awaiting Jame’s last minuet order! It was made in time with decor in ivory and golds, adorned with LaBron’s blinged out initials of course “LJ” on top of the cake. All covering the real treasure, the decadent Rum Cake! A great choice for the “King”

Rum Cake is from the Caribbean (most popular in Jamaica and West Indies). Its highly respected, as a form of Jamaican Black Cake the the official Christmas Cake and Wedding cake of the Caribbean. Rum cake is black cake minus the fruit and port wine that is put into it. Baked super light and rich all at the same time. It takes a special hand and careful eye to bake this cake to perfection! Ms. Merl knows a thing or two, just taste her Rum Cupcakes!

This night was an extra special event! Not only was it LaBron’s birthday, he proposed to his long time girlfriend, so Rum Cake is 100% fitting to have as the dessert! Being known in the Caribbean culture as wedding cake, there couldn’t have been a better choice! Rum Cake represents respect, love, family and appreciation, completing the cake in ivory and gold, speaks bounds of wedding bliss for the happy basketball royal couple!

Celebrations like this is how our family knows the significant aspect Rum Cake brings to an event. We hope he uses Jamaican Black Cake for his wedding cake, with some Rum Cupcakes for the favors too!
