We always embrace the ride to the resort. We like to stop a couple times and acclimate to the island. I have never gotten the folks (and they are usually the ones that go to the bi A/I's and never leave) that are in such a rush and take a plane or don't want to stop etc. We like to have a few beverages, a spliff and just get ready for the vacation. The culture is fascinating and I love the busyness!
