I agree ............ prices high everywhere in JA for booze compared to US - different story for Canadians though - for them the prices are about equal to Canada pricesOriginally Posted by fargoman
We always bring a few repackaged bottles of our favorite alcohol for drinks of our choice. We also re-package condiments (olives, pickles, blue cheese, etc....) which are hard to find in JA. Average vodka for bloody marys first thing in the morning, top shelf Tequila for sipping as needed during the day, and Titos or Ketel One vodka for martinis or gimlets before sunset and dinner.
We re-purpose empty plastic Schewppes Tonic Water bottles for the booze and use zip-lock bags for the olives, pickles, bloody mary seasoning or what ever. We them over-pack each tonic water bottle in a gallon zip lock bag and pack the ziplock bag in a Rubbermaid reusable sealed plastic containers. We have found that the zip-lock bags are easier to store in the small room refrigs instead of a jar of olives, etc....
At the end of the vacation we leave the plastic containers for the hired help who always love them.
We have never have had a problem with spillage or customs. We do the same thing where ever we travel, not just Jamaica.
