Hi manda81,

Change your U.S. money right away, not at the airport, but find a cambio (like a US currency exchange) and enjoy spending Jamaican money.

If you order steamed fish, be ready for a lot of little bones.

I always order a fish that is meaty, like tuna or Bonita.

Don't be pressured to buy anything, only what you want.

The locals have a way of making you feel sad by not buying their wares.

Don't get sucked into it.

No need to make up stories, tell folks how you feel.

There are many "salt and pepper" couples all around Jamaica. Nothing new.

There motto is "out of many, one people"


Don't rush, take things slow and remember, no drinking hard alchohol in the hot sun, you will get sick.

Remember, pot is illegal.

If you partake, Always use discretion (behind closed doors) not outside in the open.

Have fun and enjoy!!
