Killing time with 8 year old near MBJ

[jojo p]

Thats what I was saying, you will probably get through nicely, but mid afternnon will be crowded. Why, because of the high prices for February a lot of folks will fly mid week to get better pricing... Four hours waiting for your friends, then another hour and a half riding into Negril , doesn't sound fun for a first day for the 8 year old , just saying !! You asked for opinions ! You can just situate your chair close to the water to keep an eye on your son, and you will get a head start on your tan lines, lol.... unless you want an umbrella.

Ok, this is funny, I just reread your post, and I though I was talking to Mrs. Solo Traveler, not Mr. My advice still stands, that's an awfully long wait.....or....If your wife is comfortable with jumping on the Juta bus with her sister, why not you just go on ahead with your son, check into your hotel, and have it all ready for them when they arrive ? Just another option.

Actually, I agree with Jojo on this. My 2, 20-something daughters and 3 year old grandson came down last Dec a few days after me and were fine taking a Pre-reserved Jamaica Tours shuttle. I don't see why your wife and sister-in-law wouldn't be fine doing the same.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind. Just trying to save $ for Rum Punch and Red Stripes.

Well I know Jamaicatoursltd.com is $45 round trip per person, so the dent in your rum and stripes shouldn't be too bad

Seriously? How much could an 8 year old drink? 😃
