The Eagle has Landed!

by Brent Kirk | June 25, 2022 4:25 PM

The WeServe team has arrived safe and sound in Jamaica. All are accounted for! What a shock when they stepped out of the airport to the humidity and heat.

After a nice cold drink, some coke, some juice, and others water we loaded the bus and headed to the hotel to get checked in. Now a little rest and off to Scotchies for some awesome jerk chicken to feed the hungry bellies.
