Having this struggle too, compounded cause we are taking a week roving around the coast before we hit Negril for a week. Meeting wedding party in Negril, so thinking of using Skype to keep cost down and to get pics out. Current laptop is a big 17" though, so looking for cheap netbook (or win a iPad 2). Maybe Jamaica cellphone instead (what do they cost & how much/where can ya call?). We don party much so it would get a fair amount of use in PM for e-mail/pics/making reservations/Skype).

On the other hand, just unplugging sounds SO fine, as does wandering Jamaica instead of having reservations to keep to. But have been warned that we really shouldn't be looking for places to stay after dark...
