See you both in November! I get to spend April in lovely Indiana ��

I feel for the people of Jamaica who depend on the tourist trade to survive. This will have a devastating ripple effect. At least here in the US, they’re talking about supplemental checks for those who need it.

I feel very bad for the people of Jamaica as I know this will hit hard. I pray it is over very quick & back to business as usual. Stay safe & well everyone! I hope we can make it down in November to help boost the economy back up.

Rob have you heard anything yet on the details of the quarantine ? Where would arrivals from the U.S. have to stay for the 14 days?

Arrivals would be quarantined in their room only.

Guess I would choose the penthouse at blue cave castle

Stay safe Rob and Lisa. This is a tough time but it will pass. I will see you in December all things being equal.

it's getting frustrating hearing people lament the decline of the tourism industry.

these are hard times for everyone, not just jamaicans who work in the tourist industry.

GOOD ONE! Capt Obvious :biggrin-new:

I agree tough times for all, but those who don’t have a little saved for such an emergency have it much harder. And don’t say you’re a little tapped this month. Those who can afford to vacation in Jamaica are much better off than the average Jamaican working in the tourist industry.

AMEN JohnNYC! I can't imagine what it would be like & hope none of us are about to find out. I'm not rich (by our standards in the US) but I go on vacation & I have a small savings to exist for a while. I feel bad for people anywhere going through it right now but we do have more resources than our Jamaican friends & I am very concerned for them. I keep thinking of people I see & talk to each trip & wonder how they will do because I know some were already having a tough time of things :(
