I have been travelling and my travels have taken me back to The Bahamas, where I lived for a few years almost a decade and a half ago. My! How things have changed! Not that this was my first trip in all those years, but this time I was able to take a close look at things and reflect on a few comparisons with dear Jamaica.

It struck me how we have been losing ground in areas in which Jamaica was once the world leader and in which The Bahamas has been gaining. Some of the instances are quite remarkable, considering the disadvantages The Bahamas face.
