Ian Fleming
Anyone familiar with the James Bond movies will remember that Dr No was the first to be filmed in Jamaica in 1962, first time starring Sean Connery, whose photo is from 2008.
The creator of Dr No of course was Ian Fleming, who lived in Jamaica and used our island home as a setting for a number of his books.
If you book a boat cruise in Jamaica, like the Cool Runnings Catamaran Cruise to Dunn’s River, you will see one of the locations for the film Dr No for yourself.

Ibis
In Jamaica the white (Eudocimus albus), the glossy (Plegadis falcinellus) and the scarlet (Eudocimus ruber) Ibis are present as accidental species. The habitat of the scarlet ibis ranges from tropical South America to the islands of the Caribbean. This delicate looking bird is actually quite hardy and prolific.

Iguana
Here is a fine photo of the Jamaican Iguana (Cyclura collei), which was considered to be extinct from 1948 to 1990. It can now be found only in the Hellshire Hills in Saint Catherine. They once lived all over Jamaica until the Asian mongoose was introduced to keep down the snake population. The United States donated a Headstart Facility to Hope Zoo in Kingston for use incubating eggs and raising the hatch lings until the baby iguana are able to survive on their own in the wild.

Irie
This word refers to positive feelings and emotions and can also mean all right! So your answer to the question, “You want to go on a boat tour in Jamaica?” would be Irie! OK?
I-tal
This usually refers to naturally produced food that is mostly vegetarian and cooked without salt or sugar.
Iyaric
You ever hear someone in Jamaica say, I and I and wondered what they were talking about. Well, you can find the explanation on Wikipedia. They are talking in Dread talk or I-talk. This dialect is used among the Rastafarians, I replaces me … essentially I and I is a very beautiful expression because it refers to the oneness of being. For more info go to Wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iyaric.
