Yes, I have. In the past 6 yrs I have been to Jamaica (2x), Mexico (6x), Canada (1x), 3.5 weeks in Europe this summer (Austria, Denmark, Italy, Spain), several trips across the US by plane, train and auto including Alaska. I have planned and was well prepared for all these EXCEPT Negril, even the pickpocket in Barcelona. If what I experienced is a Beach 'boy' gigolo phenomenon, that I am better off staying away from ALL beaches especially with kids. You are right, I should have known, especially since I took my kids

What makes Jamaica unlike anywhere else for ME, there is always something worth returning for. It's more than just one beach, one waterfall, one style of resort, and one vibe. It not a see one, see it all type destination.
