Yetta and Original Spanky,

Yes it was for me coming in out of the cold. Often in New England wintertime I flew down to JA. Was like a blast furnace getting off the plane and descending the stairs on to the tarmac. In those days no AC in the terminal and by the time I got through customs and immigration I had a real sweat going. Yes the welcome from the local music band in the airport was very cool too. Back in the 70's and 80's it was a pretty long ride to Negril on the old road. I remember well the water wheel in Tryall as you passed the golf course. Back in those days it was usually a mini bus with about 10 people, no AC, sound system blastin Bob Marley or the latest hits with blown speakers, stoppin for Red Stripes along the way. Scenery was /is spectacular. The ride to Negril awesome. Get to Negril, set up the tent and jump in the bath water warm sea!!!! No problems mon!!!!
