Re: ** on-site Trip Report ~~ Thursday evening ... 09/10/15
..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
