right ... I would not bother either if I stayed in a hotel.

I only commented on my experience carrying one in for use in the house I built - it was one I had used in my family summer cabin, so one I had on hand not being used. The intention was to have my JaJa Dawta watch all my son's Disney Movies before she grew too old for them ... and now all those Video Movies are still getting used when the little neighborhood children come to watch.

The comment of the Jamaican Resident carrying in a large one in the original packaging as checked luggage ... again - for the house she and her husband had bought in Jamaica, she was setting up a household.

I have not shopped much for major furniture items or major appliances in Jamaica ... only some smaller household items - and the quality of those things was dreadful ... thus the reason for me carry household things in ...
