This is the resumption of yet another Trip Report. This one is called Carnival Jamaica: TPOL Goes to Candy Land.
I have been to two carnivals in my life: one in Rio (see Guns & Butter: Rio de Janeiro Travel Guide) and one in Trinidad (see Last Minute Trinidad Carnival Guide! Everything You Need to Know And Stuff You Will Figure Out On Your Own!). I was ready to go to my third, but Covid killed that idea in 2020 and 2021 and then a ruptured Achilles ruined that idea in 2022 (see Jamaica Carnival Postponed).
After years of waiting, I am happy to say that I am finally going next week. My band is Bacchanal Jamaica and the theme is Candy Land. I have no idea what I am getting myself into but am ready nonetheless.
