Hi Guys,
The thread about the inland route got me motivated to make this video.
Next time perhaps you'll want to call Linston and go to or from the airport using this route.
If you can't see the video here's a direct link:

For many years, this road was under construction as they were putting in a main water line and the road reduced to one lane across the hills. If you got behind a big truck or bus in those days, a trip to MoBay would take hours. Now that the traffic has been going smoothly through those areas, this route is again a joy to drive.
Jamaica, for being a small island, has a whole lot of places to explore.
Peace and Guidance
I don't know if it's just me but I see a big box with nothing in it. No video.

Got it now. Thanks.
Great Job! Thank you, captainD
How much for that trip?
Same price..110 US round trip. That way either coming or going.
You buy lunch (lol)

Send Linston an email and he'll get back to you on a price. We did that trip with him last fall and it wasn't any more expensive than anyone else charges. We had a great time even though it rained so hard there was several inches of rain running down the road in places. We stopped at a fruit stand and drank a Stripe and sampled all the different fruit while we waited for the rain to let up. Bought several different types of fruit, super cheap. We'll be doing it again the end of this month. Well worth it, if you aren't in a hurry to get to your destination.Quote:

Hey captaind,
You must have had the opportunity at one point or other to have taken the train from Kingston - MoBay??? I know the tracks are in disrepair???Attachment 39372
How bout we find out where there is solid tracks still in existance, get one a dem Suv's equipt with rail wheels and have a likkle custom adventure tourism???
Don't forget to stop for Jerk on the way !
Back in the day when I had to go to the Estate from Town I always took the train. The company would have a jeep for me to use once I got there.Quote:

I really enjoyed your video, great job
thanks for the great video , I think we were on part of that rd. 1 visit when we were going from Mandeville to Negril but not sure. At anyrate I think our next visit will do that route on the way to Negril from the airport being we always like to arrive early.
