How much $ to bring?

[Big_frank]

Found the best prices and quality for souvenir's like clothing items at the airport. Linda kept saying; wait till the airport to buy gifts. Same for rum, rum cream, even vodka. A 26'er (750 ml) of off-brand amber Port Royal rum was 8 U.S. dollars as was island made vodka. Rum Bar Rum Cream 9 dollars and Port Royal over-proof was also 8 U.S. To a Canadian, that's about half what we have to pay in our government liquor stores where tax makes up the largest percentage of the price. T-shirts and Jah colours dresses for the grand-kids were very high quality and less money than the stores at the Sunshine Plaza. I mean; they were really nice in comparison. Some silly prices at those plaza stores in some cases; like 25 U.S. for a sun-faded simple dress. I'm sure they were negotiable on those prices but even if they were offering two for one; it just wasn't worth it. At least at the airport the items were fresh, clean, higher quality and well-priced. Keep in mind we did not visit every store in that Negril complex or other plaza's or Times Square or Margaritaville.
