I'm with you Craig, I love the drive. It's like a step by step decompression with each town we pass, each turn we take. After spending six hours on planes, the last thing I want to do is get on another plane.

Hey RAS always have enjoyed your posts. A consistent treatment of others with dignity and respect. I hope we cross paths some day. It looks like not this year, according to your ticker. Hopefully one of these years though.

Respect.

Thank you for the kind words. I've never understood the internet dynamic that empowers some people to bicker with or flame others. We all come here because of our mutual love of Jamaica and Negril. If you can't say anything nice...
I too hope our paths cross sometime.

Bless,
Ed

Hopefully I can return the favor at sometime

Airport is easy - make sure your immigration/customs card is filled out completely and correctly.

To that end - make sure you bring a pen and pack it a carry-on, so that you can fill out your customs forms on the plane. Every trip I see a group people in the hallway at Sangster, after they get off the plane, scrambling to fill-out their forms while the rest of passengers are already in the immigration line.

Also, don't be tempted to exchange money at the cambio in the airport. The exchange rate is not good. Have your driver stop at a cambio elsewhere in Mobay, or wait until you get to Negril.

For smooth sailing... As mentioned fill in your card completely. One card per person, fill out the bottom section as well. Bring a pen with you so you can do this on the plane with no worries.

Getting off the plane and to the 'lines'... Head down and walk fast. The dilly dalliers coming off the plane are going to be at the end of the line.

Once through customs head down walk past all the people trying to give you a ride right out to your guy.

Hop in then start red striping it

Going off what everyone else said....be sure to complete the arrival and departure part of the form including signing and dating with the appropriate arrival and departure dates.

Make sure you potty before the plane lands and as soon as you make it out of the plane door, start power walking.

We've never really had much of a wait for Customs but we usually walk to the far side of the room to get into line. People tend to just get in the first line they see.

Your luggage may be set off to the side of the luggage carousel if you had a wait in the immigration hall.

This one is probably obvious but it got me one trip a few years ago. Use Blue or Black ink on your form, one time I used purple ink and after waiting all that time in line the officer made me step back and re-do my form in blue or black ink but sent my wife on thru, ok there just went my only blue pen buried in her purse. Thank goodness the folks next heard my dilemma and threw me a pen and told me to keep it. I had to re-trace everything in purple with blue. Maybe 10 extra minutes but at that point you are so close to freedom that you are like a little kid on Christmas morning.

I 3rd the ride from the airport to Negril it is actually my favorite part of each trip! Even after all these years I luv,luv,luv my ride to Negril.

Have a great trip!!

Probably not much, but why ruin the experience of traveling to Negril??

Now that you mention it.you are right!
