Thanks Beachgal...just got it. And, now the word fearmongering comes to mind.
Beachgal...you're going to have an incredible time in Negril. I was the same as you when I first visited Negril...came loaded with information and fears and ended having the most incredible vacay of my life. It was so amazing, that I've now lived here for over 10 years and still think that Jamaica is magical...real but magical!!
And...just as a reminder...do not use any driver that does not have a red plate license...as they are the only drivers licensed and insured to carry paying passengers.
