The airport trip

[irieworld]

I don't agree with changing at the airport--I am always trying to get out of there as quickly as possible and rates are usually not as good there. But whatever is comfortable--go for it. But in answer to are US dollars accepted on the drive from Mobay to Negril, yes.

I just got back for my 14th trip.I just cant stand when everyone on the bus does not want to stop for a Red Stripe....Next time I'm taking my own cab and stop 2/3/4 times,enjoy the ride........I remember the bus always stopped at Lollipop Bar right on the beach for a beer and a pee.

you can certainly use your US $ when you stop by Bigga ... you may get your change if you have it coming in Jamaican $, but he will always be spot on with your money back to you.

I am so thrilled to hear that more and more are stopping by and giving him the business! YeeHaa!

Your driver will not mind to stop at a cambio (one in Green Island that I have used that is quick on/off access) - if there are other riders they might groan but just say you will make it quick. As others said though you can use US $ until you make arranagements. If you are not in a hurry I think its a good idea and Bigga's is a MUST DO......try everything he's got....and share with the other riders - it will bring smiles to everyones face and a great way to start experiencing the culture for newbies!!!!!

Is there an ATM at the airport besides the one in the departure lounge? Also, I have been thru twice this year, in May and Oct and it has been down both times as well. Any Scotia ATM's that are easy to stop at on the way?

My wife and I will be there in 3 weeks! We always ride with Dandy and he always has a stop or two along the way for Red Stripes or a snack. It's part of our ritual and it gets in the flavor before we even get to the hotel. I like to use JD so I exchange $100 or two at the airport. Don't sweat the exchange rate it's not going to make or break the trip.

So few people anymore know of or appreciate the Lollipop Stop. Those were the days!

I agree that the exchange rate at the airport isn't that great. We did that and regreted it. The exchange rate was better at our hotel

Enjoy Biggas! It's definitely worth the stop! It's gooood chicken! I hear the conch soup is amazing too! I want to try that next time

While the exchange rate at the airport is high, the convenience might justify the cost to some. After reading this thread everyone is in a position to make an informed choice.

I have great memories of the stops at The Lollipop.
