2. get my rental car
3. jerky's
4. cruize to negril
5. pickup bud
6. https://youtu.be/0tTuDl8HlZs
7. repeat
What's your regular routine?
Blessings!
Arrive and walk outside with luggage looking for my Driver.
Stop at a Cambio in MoBay to change money.
Hit the road to Negril.
Maybe stop for food on the way, definitely a beer.
Check in at Hotel
Pickup Bud in Orange Hill.
Get our butts off the plane & get to the Imagination area ASAP hoping for minimal lines or none at all...put on a HAPPY FACE for the the agent...get to our luggage to scramble over to the GREEN LINE (nothing to declare) keep that HAPPY FACE on & finally get out into the FREE WORLD..,go to the AirLink Express kiosk to hookup with them to make the long walk back into & all the way to the other side (far left) of the departure terminal to have our luggage weighed (small Cessna so don't want to be too heavy)...go though a small security check system (and I mean small) then out to the tarmac for the 12 min. flight to Negril Aerodrome...my buddy picks us up there & head to JAH B's on the Beach road to pickup Honda Shadow motorcycle...then off to the West End to check in...generally by 3:30pm...finally back home..flop the luggage down & head to the bar to chill ...MISSION ACCOMPLISHED once again.
Don't you get a better rate on money change from the streets? I checked rates at cambio in airport mbj but laughed at the rate they offered, never thought to check the Cambio in town.Quote:

You should check with your bank. I have an Ally bank account (it's on online bank) and they only charge a 1% foreign transaction fee so when I use my debit card at a Scotia bank, I'll get a $123JM/$1US when the international rate is $125JM/$1US.Quote:

Do...check the rates at the cambios around town...often times they're better than the bank rates.
:encouragement:
Banmark moved because they needed more space for their car sales, the new location is much more suitable for their needs. As a friend of his, I know it was a great business move, his Cambio, MoneyGram, rental and sales have all picked up.Quote:
