getting to know Jamaica - once you go, you know

You have to get to know Jamaica and the Jamaican people and there is no better way than having a local Jamaican show you around. In our case we are priviledged to have Mr. Frank Rance, owner of FDR Resort in Runaway Bay and Pebbles Resort as our friend showing us around.
BACKGROUND OF FRANK RANCE

Frank Rance was born in Kingston, Jamaica, the third of five children. His father worked for a local tobacco company as a quality control supervisor. Rance, an above average student, completed high school and went to work for one year as a time keeper and cashier on a local sugar farm. In February, 1966 at age 19, he got a job as a checker and cashier at the Hilton International Hotel. He progressed well during his eight years with Hilton. In 1974 he became an auditor, a top position in financial control for the Jamaican Hilton. His potential had been identified during these 8 years and Hilton sent him to Montreal to its worldwide Career Development Institute to be trained in hotel management. The eight week program was soon to be followed by five trips to the Hilton Caribbean training center in Puerto Rico for additional training in hotel accounting, food and beverage operations, and general management.

It is St. Ann, not St.Anne's---The parish of St. Ann-- and the capital of St Ann is St Ann's Bay. Ochio Rios, Discovery Bay, Runnaway Bay are also in the parish of St Ann

Oh okay was in Montego Bay years ago, remember going to Bob's burial site. Were planning a vacation to Jamaica again this year for the Reggae festival. Any ideas on where to find a honest good tour guide..How did you find the guy in the video?

@Davextron This is Frank Rance, the owner of the FDR resort where we stayed for over 2 weeks. His office, a table under a tree on the property and he's friends with everyone who stays there! A really great guy! A really amazing resort too! As for tour guide I would recommend Johnny Kool. If you want his phone number, just email us. We have a video about him too!

[Davextron]

[JCVdude]

@Davextron This is St Anne's Parish north of Ocho Rios.
