*whew*

more questions later

answers to above would be greatly appreciated.

I can try to answer s a few questions. Not claiming to be the expert, just what I experienced this winter.

Try finding the people you want to call using WhatsApp. You got a smart phone yet, Bill?
Route taxi fares have not changed since last year.
Miss Sonia is still there.
No Whole Foods, silly.

LOL, I just read that you don't have a cell. You remind me of 2 good friends at home that refuse to have one.
You can use WhatsApp on your laptop.

Man, I told you.
Come to Chicago,
then catch a SW Air , direct, non-stop for about $450.00 US. to MoBay.

Easy Peasy. (just got to get to Chicago)
Catch the route Taxi at airport to bus Park 150J,
Bus Park to Lucea 350J.,
Lucea to Negril 200J.

I think, LOL

But, as you know, it is not expensive at all.

You can get some Peanut Porridge at Lucea Bus Park, in a cup fro the ride to Negril.
200J
Splendid.

For direct flights your best bet will be BWI...Reagan don't have nuh direct flights.
I'm a DMV gal :)

I live in VA and have flown to Sangster from IAD, DCA, and BWI many times. Southwest flies non-stop from BWI and it's worth the 90 minute drive to get to BWI to get that flight in our experience.

Not doable for me... but maybe. It would be very tough especially if you are shooting for 3 meals per day.

Best of luck!

$10 a day is achievable. A patty, some fruit, a loaf, and a Booger sandwich at C&D bar will get it done. That Booger sandwich is quite filling, and can take care of half a days intake.

Booger sandwich:
Fried egg
Bacon
Loads of cheese
No mayo or any other crap.
Also, I have no vested interest in this one. It came about after an amazing night partying on the West End.

Do yourself a favor and grab some bacon mac n cheese or better yet a Jenny cake.

7. As of last April Herbie is no longer at his place up the beach. He was doing business up near the A.I.s according to his son Shaba (sp?) who put in a call to Herbie for us. Within a few minutes Herbie himself appeared and we spent a nice amount of time catching up on things

I saw herbie a week ago hanging across from kuyaba
Have a new number for him.

Lol...... I always wondered what a booger sandwich was, I'll bet that tasted awesome late night :)

3...What's the route-taxi fare[s]::
...from airport to MoBay bus park 100j
...from Mobay bus park to Lucea 225j
..from Lucea to Negril 250j

4..Other route-taxi fares ..along BeachRoad,,, from Negril Airport to downtown Round About 130j

as of yesterday :cool:

i could make it on $10 a day if i had to. it would be a lot of cornmeal porridge, veggie patties and roadside soup.
