all super duper suggestions..........the biggest one is bringing a roll of $1's.......so key
makes sure your medications are in your carry on.......and not in your checked luggage
this can save you a lot of problems in paradise if the luggage is lost.......
and make color copies of your passport and carry them versus the real thing when out and about in Negril.......
you can save yourself a multitude of problems having the copies on you at all times.......

Are we the only one who don't take US 1's? We pay almost everything in JA $.
US$1s are a lot more useful in Negril than they are in Treasure Beach (or lots of other areas that have fewer US tourists). In TB some folks look at me like I have two heads if I pull out US$, even just $1s. People there can't change them back to J$ as easily as people in Negril can - no cambios in TB so a hassle to deal with.Originally Posted by jeannieb
Ha ha me too, the last couple trips I have come home with the same $1's I took down - they should earn interest for travelling with me!
I don't find small Ja bills hard to come by - but do I keep track of them to make sure I always have some -
* at stores I usually pay with $1000, even if its a small purchase, to get the change.
* at the ATM, I withdraw $xx,900.00, as the 900 comes as 1) 500 + 4) 100's. My bank does not charge fees (and I avoid Scotia because of their $3 fee - plus you can only withdraw $15k jmd there) so I can split my withdrawal into a couple transactions, each with the 900 change coming to me. (thank you Nurse Marcia for this tip!)
