Heading back!

[kathyandtara]

Just booked a stay and air for December, we are excited to return.
Last year we volunteered at the Soup Kitchen. Is it still run by Fr. Jim at the Catholic Church?

Also, I didn't see any steel drums in Negril last year - are there any venues for steel drums outside the all-inclusives?

The only steel drums I have seen are at the AI,s

Steel Drums are not a normal fixture in Jamaica and normally brought in to the AI for tourist that expect to find them. They come from the southern caribbean islands.

Sometimes there is a steel drum band in the afternoons at ricks. very good.

Steel drums are native to Trinidad, not JA...

Steel Drums are common in Barbados too. Never seen them in Jamaica.
Like the previous poster said, it is a Southern Caribbean thing.
Jamaica is home to Reggae!
