Last Minute Worries/Local Guide?

[Irine]

Almost every driver will have a card and as mentioned almost every one of them is honest and straight up. if you find one that gives you the right vide then use him while your there like a chauffer, that's what we do. Been friends with a great guy and a hell of a dad in Negril for many years now. Early B is his name and he is very trustworthy, and gives great advice on where to stay, eat, shop, etc. When we are with him we feel totally safe, we have been up to his home above the roaring river in a small community and the people there are so genuine and friendly, felt honored to meet them. You can also do roll call now that you are on the board and find boardies down there to hang out and do stuff with, totally safe as well. You will always hear the horror stories, and some are true, but read this board, the good stories out number the bad a thousand to one, bad stories just get more press. My opinion for what it's worth, once you go you'll be hooked like the rest of us. You'll fall in love with the land and the people, and I'll be curious to read your post after you go when you be preachin' like the rest of us! if you want Early's number let me know and I will post it, and his email which I have around somewhere. He has two girls and a boy and believe me he knows how to look after children.
