Jamaica villas - Links to Jamaica websites



The missing link

Links. What are links? Well, you have Golf Links, you have cufflinks, missing links and so on but the links I´m interested in are website links. What are website links you may ask? I'll tell you.

If and when I find a website that has interesting items about Jamaica villas, Jamaica, the Caribbean, holidays and travel, I copy the websites Url (address) and I then add a little description to my Blog or webpage to tell people what the link is about. Like te following;

Jamaica Villas. Luxury holidays villas in Montego Bay, Jamaica

I added the url of Jamaican Treasures (http://www.jamaicantreasures.com)to/ the text "Jamaican Treasures" this turns it into a clickable link. I add the description to let you know that the link "Jamaica Villas" will direct you to a website which has holiday villas in Montego Bay. Simple. In this way we can share information over the Internet by linking to each others sites.

Why am I telling you this? Well, you may have a website that is of interest to myself or other like minded people and you would like to share your thoughts and information with us. In which case I will be more than happy to add your link to this Blog and to other websites I have relating to Jamaica villas and travel.

The other benefit of linking to other sites is that they will link back to you, this helps your Blog or website get better rankings on the Internet search engines. If you would like to swap links with my Blog or a list of websites that I have (see below) then just email me and I'll be happy to exchange links.

Here is my information for your links page.


Jamaica Villas & Vacations: Jamaica Villas and apartments for vacations in Jamaica, Bali, Mexico, Thailand, Bahamas and worldwide.

Jamaica villas - Just Pinged my Blog with Weblogs.com

Ping!
I do like, from time to time, to pass on interesteing websites or bits of information that would help fellow Bloggers with their own blogs and I found a very good website a long time ago called Weblogs.com and it is a pinging tool.

What's a Pinging tool?

When we make changes to our Blog, website or feed we want the search engines to find it as quickly as possible, in which case, the best way is to send the information yourself. You do this in two ways.
  1. You go to Google / Yahoo! /MSN submit Url page and add your sites name, a codeword to prevent spam and click enter.
  2. You ping the information via XML-RPC signal (RPC = Remote Procedure Call) this tells the server that the url has had content updated.
http://weblogs.com/home.html This is the website you need to go to. It's easy to use and it is FREE. Enjoy.

The Virgin Islands - Holidays in the British Virgin Islands


The British Virgin Islands

I thought to myself "This one is going to be difficult!" when I was looking through the list of luxury villas that My Luxury Villas website has to offer and for good reasons.

Let's face it, some of my Blogpeepers are less than mature, some are a tad naive and others are simply "strange" so I was a bit concerned about explaining the joys of a couple of weeks free time in the Virgin Islands (One can almost hear the "Pwooaar!" and the sniggers coming from some excited Blogblimpers!)

First off, The Virgin islands are called "The Virgin islands" because at the time they were discovered, they were "untouched by man" there had been no one living there, it was virgin territory, uninhabited, not a soul in site.

They are not called "The Virgin Islands" because a colony of Catholic Nuns once lived there or a harem of ladies of "spotless reputation" set up shop or that Madonna wrote a song about them or any other reason the underclass of Blogtropolis can contrive. They had no people on them when they were discovered. Period (No pun intended there..Pwooaar!)

So, you may ask, what interest is there on the British Virgin Islands for this handsome young Blogger? Well, I'll tell you.

My Luxury Villas has a fine selection of luxury vacation villas in all parts of the British Virgin Islands, Oh yes! Also, because My Luxury Villas is the sister site to the world famous Jamaican Treasures, you can bet your bottom dollar that we are talking class, quality and security.

The British Virgin Islands (I refer to them as "British" not for any colonial reason, it's just that the Yanks have some Virgin Islands as well, you may have noticed on the map?) are the ultimate in getaway holidays. Sun, sea, sand and the unspoilt views for hundreds of miles. It knocks my recent "holiday" to Ryhl (In case you have never heard of it, Rhyl, it's in Wales) into a cocked hat!

In the best traditions of this august Blog, I am going to throw a link to the My Luxury Villas website and the Virgin Islands villas or destination 266.

Turks & Caicos Islands - Holidays in the Turks & Caicos Islands


A map so you know what a Caicos Island looks like

I would be casting pearls before swine were I to ask some of my regular Blogsnoopers to tell me what "Turks and Caicos" is, some would say it was a Rap group, some say the national dish of Guatamala and some would just sit down and turn the telly on to watch Barney the Dinosaur.

Lucky for them we have the help of the CIA and their fantastic website that will tell you anything about anyone. The CIA have provided me with a wonderful map of the Caicos Islands and Grand Turk (Actually, I ripped it off but don´t tell the CIA)

"Turks & Caicos"
The islands were part of the UK's Jamaican colony until 1962, when they assumed the status of a separate crown colony upon Jamaica's independence. The governor of The Bahamas oversaw affairs from 1965 to 1973. With Bahamian independence, the islands received a separate governor in 1973. Although independence was agreed upon for 1982, the policy was reversed and the islands remain a British overseas territory.
I know you will now be wondering why this great ÜberBlogmiester is rapping on about Turks and Caicos Islands that are far flung. Well, some of you might guess and some might not but Jamaican Treasures, the best holiday villas rentals company in the world, have lots of fantastic villas for rent on the Turks and Caicos Islands through their sister site My Luxury Villas
Turks and Caicos are a fantastic holiday destination and a wonderful location for a tropical wedding or family reunion. You can browse through the villas on the main website at My Luxury Villas Destination 217 as we call it.
And just remember, if you have any questions, you can always contact us and we'll be very happy to help you. Keep an eye on this Blog as I will be highlighting several of the Turks & Caicos villas.

Tortola - Blackbeard's Hideaway in the British Virgin Islands



Yo-ho-ho! Blackbeard's Hideaway, Tortola Island

I love Pirates. As a little boy I would play Long John Silver with my 5 brothers and my friends, the only trouble was the lack of a pirate ship, an island, any pieces of eight or a crew. We ALL wanted to be Long John Silver and so the entire day was spent swinging a wooden sword that was made from bits of old crate that had been nailed together and using a brush for a crutch so we could limp about shrieking "Ah! Jim lad!"

I lived in Liverpool very near to the river Mersey and would see the cargo ships come and go and imagine what it must be like to be a real pirate and sail the seven seas. I bet they had real swords and crutches on them ships.

No matter. I have a great villa that is set on a beautiful island in the Caribbean, not far from the coast of Puerto Rico and part of the British Virgin Islands, it's called Tortola and the villa is called Blackbeard's Hideaway.

Blackbeard's Hideaway (Blackbeard was a pirate called William Teach.) Blackbeard's Hideaway looks out to Little Thatch Island and left to Sopers Hole and all the yachts (or, in my case, Spanish galleons and Pirate ships) at anchor on Tortola's West End.

The property is located on the fantastic Steele Point estate and has two beautiful bedrooms and what's more, I'm going to give you a link to the main page so you can see for yourself what a great place it really is as well as reading the details. You will love Blackbeard's Hideaway

Tortola - Holiday villas in the British Virgin Islands

Villa Diamante on the island of Tortola

You will have had time now to study the map I posted on my last blog to indicate where the island of Tortola is. We also should know that it is part of the British Virgin Island and is off the coast of Porta Rico. Good, I can now tell you about some of the great luxury villas My Luxury Villas has on the island.

I´ll start with Villa Diamante.

Villa Diamante is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac shaded by beautiful trees and scented bouganville flowers. Villa Diamante has been built in three pavilions separated by a spacious sun deck and refreshing large octagonal pool which looks out to Sir Francis Drake Channel and the U.S. Virgins beyond, Villa Diamante is a real poets hideaway.

As is the norm with my blog, I don´t like to write too much about the villas I feature as it detracts from the great presentation of the properties on the main My Luxury Villas website and in true Blogtropolis tradition, I have gone out of my way to supply you with a link to the pages and the photographs.

Linkypoo to Villa Diamante.

Tortola - The best holiday destination in the Caribbean


Tortola

I am not even going to ask if you know where Tortola is! You don't know, that's a fact, unless of course you are part of that fantastic villa rentals company of worldwide repute, yes, Jamaican Treasures.

Some of my Bloglimpers may have stumbled across this pearl in the Caribbean sea, others are as thick as a Whale milkshake, so, I have slapped a map up top of the blog to give you an idea of where Tortola is. It is of course, part of the British Virgin Islands. Tortola can be found floating in the Caribbean, between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, east of Puerto Rico
According to the American CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) Tortola is described thus;

First inhabited by Arawak and later by Carib Indians, the Virgin Islands were settled by the Dutch in 1648 and then annexed by the English in 1672. The islands were part of the British colony of the Leeward Islands from 1872-1960; they were granted autonomy in 1967. The economy is closely tied to the larger and more populous US Virgin Islands to the west; the US dollar is the legal currency.
 
I prefer the My Luxury Villas descriptions of Tortola, villa by villa. My Luxury Villas, sister site to Jamaican Treasures but still the same great company, they have 25 or more luxury holiday villas on the island of Tortola and yours truly will place several of these on this blog for you to drool over.
 
In the meantime, why not relax and take a look at the other 1200 luxury villa rentals on the My Luxury Villas Website http://www.myluxuryvillas.com/
