The worldwide Augustana College experience

After arriving safely in Montego Bay our first stop was at Jewel Runaway Bay resort. When we first arrived at the resort we learned the true meaning of “Jamaicantime”. Upon arrival we waited for a few hours to finally get room assignments where the friendly Jamaican staff helped us find our way. At the resort [...]

The first few days at Jewel Runaway Bay were amazing! Getting acclimated to the island was not a hard process at all. All that was necessary was some SPF 55 and making sure there was a kayak available for me to take out in the ocean. Well, there were actually a few things other than [...]

First Jamaica blog of the trip and I have so much to say, but i honestly can’t remember all that’s on my mind. I guess it would be best to start for the beginning of the trip once we arrived. Once off of the plane it was just like mike said. There were many Jamaicans [...]

When we finally reached our destination it was incredible. We quickly learned what Jamaican time is. Basically, [...]

I write this sitting on a smooth piece of driftwood, shaded by a palm tree. Cool white sand is between my toes, and the warm Caribbean Sea gently rolls in and out a distance of 20 bare feet away. The water is clear and dressed in a hundred shades of blue. We’re on the luxurious [...]
