I'm sorry but I was in Jamacia in 2001 and I thought it sucked. Yes it's beautiful there, the water's warm but it is still a third world country. Everywhere we went (and I mean EVERYWHERE) you got hit up by everyone trying to sell you ganja, braids and wood carvings. It just drove me nuts after awhile. Even taking a walk on the beach at the hotel we stayed at in Negril they would chase you down. Thank god we got home Sept 6th. I had a friend who lived there for a year and she said after 9/11 the grocery stores got pretty bare there.

I agree with everything you are saying, thats why we go to an all inclusive resort, and don't leave. I don't like exursions and all that so, staying on the resort eating like a small prince, and drinking like a king is good for me. (small prince because the food can be a little better) I have been there 3 times, I'll keep going back. The locals are cool, they make me laugh more then anything. "hey you with the tattoos" lol

The best time to go is in Spring. No hurricanes, and less humid. So your not missing out this time.....NOT. J/K

Glad you have a good time when you're there. We went to visit a friend who was living there b/c her company out sourced some work. She made $70,000 tax-free :eek: Anyway we stayed with her so we got alot of exposure to the people and the island. We had a driver who took us to places I bet no white people ever hardly see. LOL. It's funny every road you drive down someone has got thier little roadside stand selling something. But thats how so many of them make a living, from all the tourism. It really pissed me off tho when we went to see the falls in ocho rios SP? The only way you could get out of the place was you had to walk this kinda winding path thru all the vendors there. I just thought that was a little extreme. :D

[Former Raiderett Aka Eliminator Sprinter]

Yup, I've been told that about Mexico ;) that's prolly why I have absolutely no desire to visit there. LOL.

The "free zone" in Montego Bay, thats where we stayed :)

[That Guy]

We will be there from August 6-13th. We have been several times and I agree with Steve that the only place to be is at an all-inclusive....great time. I will let you know how things are this year when we get back.

When I went I was treated like royalty---I was the reincarnated white son of Bob Marley...LOL It was funny, "yes Ziggy-mon right away"...and poof my drink was full again.
All-inclusive was the way to go but we did go against the 'rules' and hired a pair of local fellows(Micheal and Squeechy) to tour us around up a river on a panga boat where only the locals were......all these rastafarians staring at us as we went by was a little intimidating at first. We spent a few bucks on shirts and tidbits which made all very happy, again we were treated like royalty, this time outside the hotel boundries.
Stayed at Sandals, Ocho Rios.

Depends on what you are looking for.
Party and wild times Hedo
Party and mild times Breezes
Upperclass Ritz
Middle-upperclass class Grand lido
Basic good time couples/sandals
Next time we go back we might look into getting on of those cottage deals with a group of friends. Same thing as a hotel but on a private beach & stuff like that. :)

I do not know Cabo that well. A few of my friends have been there for fishing & partying though. I hear it's nice for about 4 days. More then that you get bored, but to each is their own.
I would leave it at home, the less bling you have the better off you are. :)

When we got back from our March trip a young guy was stopped in customs for bringing back a whole box of cigars. How many are you allowed to bring?
I also UPS'd 2 bottles of Rum to the Knuckle heads, guess what they lost the pkg, and told me to basically pound sand because UPS can only ship beer & wine. You know some driver is fricken happy right now. :(

[Former Raiderett Aka Eliminator Sprinter]

Cool!
I brought back 6 bottles of rum, and shipped 2 from here. Well focken UPS bunred me and lost the package, and said they can not search for it because of the contents. I guess I'll just have to go back to Jamaica and get more. lol
