So you're a cannabis lover and can't find a travel agency that truly gets it. No one seems to understand your need for a smooth, unhurried trip to the dispensary, and hardly anyone knows where to find the events, excursions, and cannabis-friendly culture you're actually looking for.

Is it the vivid colors, the crispness in the air, or the thought of getting as much outside time as possible before the cold winter months that drives so many to seek long car trips, winding roads, and lots of pictures?

I admit- it's been a minute. And another, and many strung together, but... I've visited Colorado in the fall, and it is magnificent. 

I haven't camped in years, but next time.. it's GOT to be a 420 friendly campground. 

I love it and there's nothing I hate about it. I discover so many new things and meet so many very interesting people, I think I'll never grow old.

It was a long way getting there. 

There's a certain spot on Jamaica's West End Road with a super sweet tide pool. As waves crash heavily against the coral, they then lazily splash on the pool's occupants,  treating them to an amazing sensory experience. As the waves replenish the pool, they also replenish your soul. It's a spot of reflection... and of rejuvenation.

I recently went somewhere I've not been for almost 30 years and was so caught up in everything that was happening, I forgot to look at what wasn't happening. And so goes the lesson. 

You ever notice how you won't hear a word for twenty years, the you're hearing it everywhere?

So, you go to a place you've never been before- and it blows your mind. In fact  it's so nice you promise yourself THIS is the place you'll return to. Maybe yearly. Maybe even buy a house. We've all been there, and no matter how much we want to think we'll be back, we just never know, right?

When I heard there was a cave in Westmoreland worthy of a visit, I seriously wondered. After all, I've been in caves before... so WTF?

"Ital" is a term used in Rastafarian culture and refers to their plant-based diet, which is free from processed foods, refined sugars, additives, and artificial substances.  Purists will tell you that the variety of foods on a plate should represent the colors gold, green, and red, as foods containing those colors offer a balanced variety of nutrients. Coincidentally, those are also the colors represented on the Rastafarian flag.
