What would you do.............?

I am coming with a newbie in Dec. however we're flying in from different cities. My flight gets in at 9:30am and hers gets in at 12:40.
What would you do for the 3 hours? I'm not sure about her making her first trek to Negril alone (even though we are going to use Kenny).
I don't think it's worth driving to Negril and back to airport. So here's what I was thinking my options would be:

a.Hang around airport maybe eat at Groovy Grouper
(if it was later I'd be thinking lunch at Scotchies)

b.Take taxi to Mobay and chill at Dr.'s Cave beach (would be lugging suitcase)

c.go on quick tour nearby like Rocklands bird sanctuary or rose hall great house.

What would you do?

Check you bags at the baggage storage place in the terminal - I think it's still there.
Then grab a taxi and go down to Dr's Cave & Hip Strip - hang out and chill. . . .

That's what I would do (have done)

Have fun with your Newbie!!

Thanks K3!!!!! I didn't know u could leave your bags @ the airport! That makes tings eazier!!! Glad I asked the Experts!!
I am familiar wit de hip strip, I stayed at Drs Cave & Coral Cliffs Casino & there is a cool coffee bar at Drs Cave hotel.

Or I can take a small plane to Cuba, haha wink wink!!!!!!!

Hey, If I could check my bags safely at the airport,

Then TAXI!!! I would head out to The Brewery on the Hip Strip in Montego Bay.

Cool place up stairs overlooking the water and the best, and I mean best cheesburger you can find in Jamaica!

Then go back and meet your friend.

Enjoy!

Oh, I forgot to mention the seasoned french fries.
Man, the Cheese burger, with bacon and seasoned fries.

Ice cold Red Stripes, man yopu will be sitting pretty.

Double check on the left luggage as my airport guide tells me no left luggage at MBJ

I like the doctors cave idea.The luggage will not matter if you go there in a taxi and you grab a lounger.

SOOO the Consensus says start drinking!!!!
LOL!!!
Yea not so sure bout the stored luggage, but some airports do have lockers now that K3 mentioned it....I will check it out!!!!!!
Drs. Cave beach would b cool, I could watch her plane land then still have time to make it over to airport!!!
Love & Appreciate all the suggestions so far!
3 hrs or more of waiting won't really matter cuz I'll b in Sunny Jamaica just starting my vacay!!! By the time I hit Negril I'll b in full blown Jamaica Mode!!!!

[Michele Beisser]
