    Jody...Juta is a shared ride & each passenger is $25us. You don't have control of the stops or the number of stops. It's a good service though, if travelling solo.

    Exactly... I can't justify a private driver for just myself. I've never made more than two other stops on the way to or from Negril. I usually sit in the front and converse with the driver and sometimes the other passengers. A day or two before I leave, I just call the JUTA office and make arrangements for my return to the airport. I pay USD cash directly to the driver. I always confirm the $25 with the driver before I get in.

    Yeah, I don't come quite as equipped (I was kidding about the ice cube trays though..lol) but I bring a tablet, bluetooth speaker (for music in the room or balcony), extension cords, multiple device chargers, my snorkel gear, blowup raft and a small compressor to blow it up, all the local business cards I've collected for the local drivers that I prefer ..

    Used to do ice cube trays. Now I pack a handful of gallon ziploc bags. I usually just get it filled by the hotel, or some hotel, take it back an stuff it in my little freezer. When we need ice we just take it out, drop it on the tile floor, and voila we have ice. I am also thinking this year we will probably start carting some with us as an alternative to take home doggy bags. If it's chicken with rice and peas or any food that can go together we'll start packing it up in zip-loc's. better than creating more take out garbage and we're trying to think of ways to create less garbage while we are there.

    I like your idea about ziplocking the extra food but unless my room has a microwave to rewarm (which the WS standard rooms don't) it wouldn't work for me.

    We bring a 9 inch electric frying pan and a 2 cup coffee maker when we go now. Frying pan works great for reheats and eggs in the morning. Although these small frying pans use less power than a hair dryer, we turn off the A/C when we use it so we won't cause any issues. Takes only a couple minutes to reheat leftovers. Nothing like shrimp fried rice for a late night snack!!! We give the maid our coffee pot and fry pan when we leave. They love the fry pans as they have some trouble getting bottles of propane to use a stove as the big ai's suck them all up when they come off the ships.

    Luxurious compared to many I have seen. Everything you could possibly need. Do you find it hard to get propane?
