Safety in Negril now

[Rob]

Hello Rob and everyone,
My husband and I are headed to Negril on January 4th. How is safety there? Is SOE still in effect? We travel to Negri often and have always been comfortable there. An update will be appreciated.
Bless,
B

Barbara,

You will be equally comfortable here as you have been on your previous trips. A new SOE was called yesterday which will extend for 14 days. Since the previous SOEs called as long as 4 years ago have been less than successful as needed, I think the government is changing tactics.

The Prime Minster has been meeting with the US Justice Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law-enforcement agencies during his five-day visit to the US capital in early December. I think that this latest SOE may be more targeted as the previous SOES only noticeable effect was to make driving a hassle.

I am heading to the tax office in Sav today and will be reporting from the road to let everyone know what is happening as it happens!

Thank you, Rob!! I appreciate the background explanation. Wow, I will love your report as you travel to Sav. While we are there we will be traveling to Revivial, New London - that area so your report will be ever appreciated. I will be looking for it.
Blessings,
Barbara
