..continue-ing..

for some weird reason,
folks are puzzled with-me::::>>>> they don't know if I'm Jamaican or not
....it tickles me

once i cleared all the check-points,
and entered the lobby with all the drivers, and ride-services,
like flies on dung,
the sales pitches began.

me-SAY:::>> I'm cool ... I'm set.
some-SAY::>> ''..welcome home .... enjoy your time with the family, who's coming to pick you up..''

that's when i decided::>>> i'm NOT getting a driver ...... I'd already told the landlord NOT to tell my usual guy to come get me.

i was going Ja-style:::>>> i was gonna use ''''public transportation''''
......or as Seveen *suggested*:::>> create my-own Ja-tour

back-tracking a bit.... you had to see the Immigration lady's face when i told her i was gonna take a taxi over to the MoBay bus-park, and take a route-van to Lucea.

she tried all kinds of tricks with her queries to see if i knew what is was doing
...even went so far to ask how much was the fare, blah blah ..... somewhere in the conversation US $20 came up.
........ i almost lost it,,,,, but i quickly calmed down, and told her the fares for the various legs of the journey.

i'm getting a likkle sick and tired of all this question-ing and testing, to see what and/how much i know about things-Jamaican.

i leave the airport building
...it's HOT HOT HOT...!!.
...but NOT humid
* whew *
that was a relief,
compared to my trip last-May-ish.

outside i hastily, and with purpose
walk pass all the drivers
and
walk toward the departure-entrance

i didn't get more than 48-yards,
when i saw a car coming

a up-reach-ing hand & arm reached out the window

i KNEW the *sign*

it was a route-taxi

i wave back

he stops.

i see the sign on his car::>> ''..MoBay..''

i ask anyway::>> ''..MoBay..??.... Bus park..''

''..Yeah, mon..''

driver gets out
i take my bags to the trunk

driver's got this look on his face, that i've SEEN before:::::>> he wants to **work* me ... . wants to play games....

i'm ready..

....to be continued...
later this evening/night

they closing the cyber cafe.

i got to get to country,,, un-pack
but WILL type more from-yard

likkle more
