Welcome to da Board!
oh to be a newbie again heavy sigh
you goin to have a lot of fun.....great that you have an old friend to show you around.......nobody will say anything
driving around can get a likkle expensive so make sure you two are on the same page in regards to what it will cost you.......
cause there is nuthin like getting a big surprise like a huge bill at the end of the trip..........
so if him lets you pay for da gas etc for the whole trip, that be pretty cool.......
but if him wants to charge you $100US a day to drive you around......you'll need to know that ahead of time.......
better be safe than sorry........
you are doing a lot in a weeks time but it will give you a chance to know where to put your roots down for future trips........
as far as tips......never tell anyone it's your first time to Jamaica.......don't tell the guys where you are staying or when you leaving....
always use J's for currency and don't change the money at the airport or use the money changing guys.......use Cambio's
on the beach you'll have to say "NO" alot.......say it with respect and you won't have any problems......
everyone should try Rick's one time......it is a cultural experience there.........and a great people watching place.....
in a nutshell, don't do anything different than you would at home and just use your common sense......like you have in Cuba....
walking the Beach alone at 3AM or anywhere in Negril that time of the morning is just asking for it.......
though you'll be safe walking around during the day most anywhere in Negril......
everyone will want to be your new friend.......just be careful which friends you choose that reach.......lol
Enjoy!
Cool Runnings, Marko
