visit regrets and $ ramblings

[Big_frank]

I truly didn't mean to start such a debate, and I really don't like seeing bitterness. We would still go to Negril no matter what the cost above anywhere else, and I would never even consider Cuba or Mexico for my own reasons. However, some people simply looking for a 'Sun Spot' might. Just pointing out that I don't like seeing USA dollar pricing in shops, bars, restaurant and even taxi men will quote you "10 dollars" to travel beach or west from the taxi park. I'm far from a cheapskate. Ask any of the service people who received generous tips for services rendered all over Negril. I witnessed one American give a server 150 Ja on a 78 dollar U.S. tab. Now that's a tight-wad. Someone posted stats that 1.2 million Americans visited the island in 2014 vs. 400 thousand Canadians. Think about this. USA has 350 million people (or more). Canada has 35 million. Per capital; who loves Jamaica more?
