Jimmy traveled to Jamaica last week to visit with the Jamaican Dog Sled Team, of which he is a sponsor.

“What is it about this island’s infatuation with the cold?” exclaimed Jimmy, “I missed out on the bobsled years – I don’t intend to miss out on this one. Besides, I can’t wait to yell “Mush Mon” in support of our team”.

A Margaritaville is planned to open February 25th at the Carnival Cruise Ship Pier on Grand Turk in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

From the LA Times:

The restaurant, Margaritaville, part of the Jimmy Buffett chain, will open as a bar and later add food service, said Giora Israel, Carnival’s vice president of strategic planning.

From MargaritavilleCaribbean.com:

“We’re expanding at Turks and Caicos, building a Margaritaville at the Carnival Cruise Ship Pier and that opens in February. It will be our biggest ever and will be able to seat 700 people, the construction in Cayman Islands is half-way finished and will open in early May.” commented CEO Mr. Brian Jardim.

The Turks restaurant will be drinks-only until June, when it begins full-service.
