"My biggest frustrations on this trip have to do with getting money and getting money exchanged. The banking and financial services systems in Jamaica ARE antiquated and do seem to run at cross purposes sometimes. The money exchange is its own issue worthy of much discussion.

I hear ya. Between ATMS and bank lines, I lost half a day last trip...I blame myself, too. Cash is king.

Love your report. So many feelings you write about are commonly shared by many, and eloquently played out in your writing style, love this Trip Report. You are really nailing it...you are a really good writer. Of course my opinion is worth less than 50J...


The partying vs poverty contrast? Amazing.

You set the bar high bro!
