Amen & Ditto to that..!!..

as for the other *rant-issues*:::::

#1....'tis GOOD that you didn't do as I once did,
on one of my recent extended-trips.

*they* told me to report to Negril police station,
to get an '..OK..' to stay-longer

i didn't do it --- played ignorant, and ignored the order

Upon departure,
at the final airport check-point :::: the immigration booth,
the immigration-lady looked at my likkle piece of paper,
and chastised & berated me sooooo-emphatically
that i wanted to cry.
:-(
she-SAY ((.in-brief.))::::>>> "...You MUST obey Jamaica's laws ....... IF you EVER do this again, you'll be banned from coming to Jamaica..."

* whew *

almost pee-ed on myself.
:-(

note:::>> not for sure, but me-*thinks* they got a nice likkle computer system now-days to keep on top of things ----- I'm waiting to *see* what the Snowden/NSA leaks disclose.

bottom-line:::>> DON'T *play* with the Ja-powers-that-be...!!..

#2....there is a significantly-cheaper *alternative* to that US$100 transport-fee (i.e., back & forth to MoBay). But i WON'T go into that in this thread/post/trip-report. Don't wanna cause any problems. My *alternative* cost less-than US $20 round-trip, per person.

#3....if/when I have need to *report* to MoBay for some government-bizness, I'll use it as a explore-ing opportunity ---- kinda-sorta like a vacation field-trip.
