End of our last trip

[*vi*]

I feel your pain at losing your memories. You thought and reacted just as I did when told I had to check my carry-on upon boarding. JoJo is absolutely right, those sitting in the rear of the plane will be "told" to check their carry-on. They rushed me and didn't give me time to remove my valuables. When i arrived, yes my lap top was gone. This was Miami, so it's not a MBJ scam. It's the presence of an opportunity to steal.

Again, Irine's husband, I'm very sorry this happened to you. And if your lovely wife still wants to go to Florida next year, just look forward to the chance to create new memories with her.

If I had to guess, and I'm just speculating here, my first instinct was an employee in Washington not Montego Bay. In my years of visiting JA I have never felt as though Jamaican's as a whole are going around stealing things behind your back. Now try to swindle you face to face, that's another matter But I expect that and enjoy the bargaining process, they will get what they can, but not like thievery, more surreptitiously. Again just my humble opinion. I give away a lot of the things I bring every year just because I know they need it, they would NEVER ask for it (such a proud people) and I'm pretty sure never steal it. Now I'm sure the odd person reading this has had things go missing, my feeling is that's a really small part of the population and in general I feel they are very very honest.

But really, Florida? Sheesh.

To the OP; You have a GOOD heart and I share your thoughts when it comes to the economic struggles of some Jamaicans. Another reason why I'm so sorry this happened to you. Although others in your group took pictures they will readily give you, it's nothing like the moments you selected to capture and bring home with you.

Odinson, Yes, the heavy-duty zip ties are the next best thing to a regulation lock and I use them all the time. But I, and perhaps the OP, didn't have it on the carry-on because I wasn't checking that piece of luggage. Now I put it on regardless.
