    I want to first say we are not scared to travel but want to say what just happened to us. We traveled from a Mobay to treasue Beach on Friday (still here) and just outside White House we roll up to what our driver thinks is an accident but turns out to be a Jamaican was just shot and truck stolen (minutes before we arrive). He is bleeding, coughing up blood but was moving extremities. They were loading him in a van to get him to Black River. This was on the main road. Our driver was worried we would be afraid and continued to tell us stuff like this doesn’t happen in TB and rarely are tourist in Jamaica harmed. It was scary to think only if we were minutes sooner we would have seen what happened. Just was a crazy Experience.

    Does anyone go to your town for a once a year expensive vacation?

    heck no. not many tourist meccas here in the northeast rustbelt but the sports teams and a big lake draw people from out of town.

    We get millions of vacationers each year, even after terrorist attacks, and military visible all over. It doesn't stop them, and it won't stop me from going to Jamaica as often as possible.

    I came last week and got out of the airport at 9pm caught a taxi to the mobay bus park with 2 suitcases and virgin Atlantic plus duty free bags .
    Took half an hour to get bus to Lucea and while travelling out of the airport came across a traffic jam the kind you see in the m25 in rush hour . Our driver overtake nearly all the traffic which was a mile long to the front of the que and police just shone the torches in to see and told the driver carry on . Rest of the journey was as normal .

    Negril is the same party's late night tourists walking up and down at night on the beach road and the west end .
    Nothing out of the ordinary here .

    Having said that mobay at night time when I landed was closed bars restaurants etc closed .
    I came by public transport and but a bit of traffic it was the same as usual .
