Saturday March 29. My last full day in Jamaica. Time for an early morning walk on the beach. I notice the sand is coming back nicely, and the water is clear and calm. Footprints Hotel is under construction.... Looks fabulous!!
By noon, its time for some healthy oatmeal porridge and a Blue Mountain coffee.
Then an afternoon Cold Red Strip at Bourban beach.

Sunday March 30. By 8:30am, I'm waiting for the Juta bus to pick me up and head to MBJ for $30USD. We made it to the airport is just over 1 hour ( Sunday is a quieter day on the road and we only had one stop to pick up some folks at Riu.
I'll have to remember next time to order a nice lunch from a Negril restaurant and support them verse the MBJ airport, cause MBJ has become crazy pricy. $7USD for a Red Strip, and I paid $32USD for a half Jerk Chicken lunch with a plastic fork.

Since covid 19, most Caribbean & Canadian airports have increased their taxes to enter their country. Seems like they just making up new ones as they go.

callme2,
About what one would pay at JFK in NYC. It shouldn't surprise you as it appears that the costs in JA are on about a par with the USA. I can't speak for Canada but I'm sure things aren't cheap there either.

The chicken wasn't even chopped into pieces with a cleaver... how unauthentic!
