we do the same thing Greg....we have never been to Jamaica without a suitcase full of stuff for the kids....even our first trip, we brought for the kids...we bring a few items for the adults, but mostly children stuff...we also would feel a little guilty without giving a little back...we also bring dog and cat food....I dont but as many beers for the locals like some of my friend do...we carry a 50lb bag of stuff to give away...to the kids...

In the past we have brought toys, school supplies, back packs and musical instruments.

Cash works for everyone else. But I hate seeing people handing cash to the kids. It's like teaching them to beg from tourist.

No offense was intended to the people that just being carry on bag. I was speaking only of my own feelings.
