Anybody know where you can buy block ice in Negril? The cubes just don't last long enough.:p (I miss the days of buying a piece off the ice truck. Twenty J$ got you a nice piece that would last two or three days in the cooler).

Just buy a few bottles of watta water and freeze them and then put those in cooler with ice on top the frozen bottles usually make the loose ice last a lot longer.
The ice truck came every day at 7:30 out at New Hope crossroad. I get in the jeep and buy a "straight" The ice was measured in long blocks called straights. About 150 lbs. You could also get 1/2 straight, 1/4 straight etc. We'd get a 1/2 straight every couple of days.Quote:
