First non AI trip coming up! A few questions..

[saeyedoc]

Definitely make arrangements for airport pickup ahead of time. Just flag down a red plate taxi, negotiate a rate and you're good to go for local rides. I don't always tip if I've negotiated a rate, but will round up if I'm happy. If I'm by myself for short rides, say to get some supplies at Shamrock, I'll use a route taxi, which is a fixed price, not sure what it is this year, ? 150J. At a bar, just tip like you would at home.

Maglite makes that same model in LED now, it's super bright and the battery lasts forever. They also have some real high intensity lights that are smaller than that, but cost a bit more. They work well for spotting things in the ocean at night if you're on the cliffs, you see some big fish at night (assuming calm water). I definitely cosign the flashlight suggestion, power goes out somewhat frequently.

A small blade, and decent first aid kit can go a long way as well.

Linston is a great driver very reliable enjoy traveling with him

I am jumping in here on the Linston Bandwagon! He's awesome! You can't go wrong! Safe driver, well versed in current politics, knows the flora and fauna of the area; the history - totally! And his family anecdotes will keep you smiling forever!! I would suggest you ask if you can go to Zion Hill (his farm). It's a beautiful drive in the country and the views are breathtaking! 20 mins or so from the beach? I didn't notice the time - he was so interesting and fun to be with! His number and contact are on this board Transportation section.

I hope that photo attached. YAY, Linston! I love him.

Oh - if you go in the next few weeks - THOSE PUPPIES ARE MINE! MINE! DO YOU HEAR ME????

OMG! The photo attached OK! I'm so happy! These things never work for me. Rob will be so proud!

Hi guys, is there a place within walking distance from Nirvana where we could grab beverages for the room? Red stripes, rum, etc?
