Why she keeps coming back to Jamaica no matter what

I interviewed my Missy Soprano otherwise known as Marcy Ruggerio. She is a very good friend of mine and my family. Missy has been coming to Jamaica for a very long time and has stayed with us at Travellers for almost as long. We had a wide ranging conversation that ranged from her days as the manager of the former Queen of the Dancehall, Lady Saw. All the way to traveling to Jamaica and enjoying Negril with her two young sons. I hope you enjoy this conversation we had.

Thank you again for inviting me for this podcast Winthrope! Thank you to everyone who commented, it warms my heart to read the feedback, I was very comfortable speaking with Thrope on camera, it’s important to share the beauty of the island and property. Can’t wait to return February 2022!!

[@Throp]

I'll see you soon Missy!

[@rthomas5986]

Wow! I usually can't listen to an interview for more than 10 minutes. I couldn't stop listening to this one. I am a Jamaican living in Boston so knowing that she is from Boston got me also.

[@Throp]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@LifeGoalsUp]

I like her positive vibe. 😌

This made me smile and this video makes me even more proud to be Jamaican🙂🙂🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Awesome. Thank you for watching :)

[@empressmaramonique8297]

Thanks for this information @Throp. I’m a repeat visitor to Jamaica for a decade now and always go to Negril. I always see your hotel and ran into your guests several times and they always have great things to say about your hotel. After staying away from the island for 364 days I had to come back last November and I’ll be back next week. Your videos made me finally choose Travellers to stay at. I can’t wait. So many things have been drawing me to Travellers. I’m so excited to stay there especially through lockdown and curfew. It’s a must for me to rejuvenate and reenergize in the Jamaican sun every few months. Your videos reassure me that I will be able to do just that. Thanks! Hope to meet you in person but if not I’m sure I’ll feel you’re peaceful spirit at your property. Bless up

[@Throp]

You are very welcome! Looking forward to having you at Travellers Empress. Looking forward to meeting you! Safe travels and see you soon!

*I remember my first tip to Jamaica... I stayed longer than I was allowed,* *and wanted to stay longer.* *Bob Marley's Jamaica SunSplash was only a week away, but my job was calling, and I told myself... Next year, for sure!* *Bob Marley died that year.* *I have been back to Jamaica 9 times.* *I am retired now, and was planning to spend this past Winter season there.* *The pandemic, changed everything.*

[@Throp]

oh wow. what a time to be in Jamaica. Sorry you missed seeing Bob

It's great to have Winthrope showcasing the great things about Jamaica. It's very encouraging and uplifting. Thank you

You nailed another good interview Winthrope! Missy was an interesting guest; great conversationalist. The property is really nice indeed and I found that the last time I visited (for lunch/beach day) the water was very pristine.

[@Throp]

Love this! My 1st time staying at Travelers was the Christmas before last. I had the pleasure of meeting Missy and her fun loving boys. They were so welcoming as was the rest of the staff at Travelers. It was like one big family. I knew I had to go back for sure. I made reservations for this past Christmas as due to the pandemic and travel restrictions, had to cancel. I can tell Travelers has not seen the last of me and I will plan for another trip for sure . I just can't wait and neither can my grandson!

So my trip to Jamaica, that is currently being planned for a couple of months time, I'm now having a full on rethink and wondering if we can incorporate a stay at Travellers for the final leg of our trip. Negril is my favourite place in Jamaica, and I have not had the opportunity to visit for several years, but hearing about Travellers is just making it too tempting!!! Keep up the good work!!!!

Everything was amazing! The food was so delicious! I had jerk chicken everyday! The drinks were good.. I will say if you are traveling alone this is the place !!

This was dope! The format, the scenery and the overall flow of the interview! You got a hit on your hands! Small piece of feedback, is it possible to swing your guest’s camera angle so that they are in the far left? That way they would opposite of your camera on the far right. It helps add some symmetry 💪🏾

Oh dear God there’s stingrays in da water. Are they all along da 7 miles? I was in Negril in 1982, i don’t remember seeing them. Maybe they only come out at that time. I’d be very afraid to go into da water with those things. Anything in da water would scare me, but stingrays one of da worst. Love da music there but don’t like da late night thing. Remembering sun splash and being there all night till morning. Not my cup of tea. Actually o prefer daytime music shows outside but then Jamaica is so hot that easier to be at a show at night.

There are sting rays but they don’t bother you. I saw one this morning on my swim. No problem! Seems like you were in Negril when Negril was NEGRIL!
