    Re: Reflections on our trip

    One thing I've learned from my trips to JA, and something I pass on to newbies, is that when you deal with vendors (or anyone else, for that matter) just be honest. If a vendor asks you about buying something and you say "Not today, come back tomorrow", but you are just trying to be nice and avoid saying "No" flat out, you will often find that you'll see that vendor the next day saying, "here I am, you said to come back". Just be honest, but polite. You don't want to go parasailing, just say so.

    It's all about respect. Vendors on the beach are just trying to make a living. Put yourself in their position for a day. I can't imagine walking that beach every day for years, just trying to support my family.

    Very impressed with your report on treating locals with respect. Well said .. we are in their country. Right on with your report.
