This is one of the many reasons I enjoy TSF! As I was reading through this chain, I was wondering to myself if I had any Jamaica stamps in the collection. I went to the wall of binders and found the "J" binder. When I opened it the first thing I saw were stamps from Jamaica. Not that there were pages and pages but it was a nice little collection of stamps. So I managed to spend some time re-visiting those stamps. I cannot remember the last time I had a reason to get into that particular binder, so it was nice visit.
Really enjoyable way to spend some early hours on a Saturday morning, and all thanks to this thread!!

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Those are lovely pages, hdm1950 made even more so by a lovely story. I'd never want to the memories from the journey, that's for sure.
