Need your help folks...

When you go to a restaurant, do ask what they have or what's good tonight. Ordering something from the menu that is not on hand and prepped can result in a VERY long wait.

Don't sweat modest amounts of money - we all want good deals, but if on your vacation you spend $10/day more than you would have if you completely knew how much everything should cost, don't obsess over that and let it spoil things for you. Overpaying by a dollar for orange juice or by three dollars for a pineapple is not a catastrophe.

Do be generous with the cab drivers, especially on longer trips such as to MBJ and back. How much does a 50 mile cab ride cost where you live? Cars, tires and gas are not cheaper in Jamaica.

Do eat what is produced locally. Insisting on a steak is probably a mistake - think about where it was shipped from, how long it was en route, and how long it sat in the kitchen waiting for someone to order it. Food poisoning really messes up your vacation.
