Things I've learnt from the forum...

[chris55]

Just a few of my observations as a newbie to Negril...and this is before I've even been there...

- Ting is a great local soda and mixes well with rum or vodka
- Great jerk chicken is located in a lot of places, especially in barrels
- If you're into it you can smoke "sweet" grass most anywhere
- Over proof rum is very strong
- Dancing permitted wherever
- Wear a thong or nothing at all (I have a feeling I'm going back to the 70's)
- Ackee is a fruit that looks like eggs when cooked..who knew..
- Red Stripe is Jamaican beer...ok...that was a no brainer
- Dirty bananas are a good thing
- Conch soup is apparently really good..I thought conch was just for listening to the ocean
- The cliffs and da beach are too separate areas
- Boardies are family..
- Ya Mon
- and always.... "Respect"

Soon come....
I think I'm going to like Negril

Chris55,looks like you have a good idea of what's what. Negril is my favorite place on the planet and I will look forward to hearing what you think after the fact. Once you go you really do know!

Chris55, it is "Respec". Ask locals.

Dirty bananas are to die for. It's a main staple of my diet in Negril. If you like dirty bananas, you should also try a Hummingbird. Conch soup is really good and so are conch burgers. And you should also try pumpkin soup, and if you're brave, cow hide or chicken foot soup.

Nude Beaches do not attract models and weight lifters:
You will saggy boobs, saggy butts and saggy balls....
