I once asked a Negril local rasta kind of dude what time it was and he told me it was day time.... lol! Only two times in Jamaica, day time and night time! Leave the watches at home, there's no need for them in Jamaica.

As to using travellers cheques, that's all we've done each trip and no problems. That's not to say it can't happen I guess. Also found that the Scotia Bank was most convenient with a long wait on occasion but nice A/C, for cashing said travellers cheques. Always best exchange.

Peace

Wow some great ideas here..keep posting my list is getting longer

I'm adding the vicks and the pedialite.

I just bought two variety packs of Pedialyte. Some Pedialyte before bed is just what the Dr ordered.Thanks for the suggestion.

I would also suggest a florescent lantern for the room for the odd power outage, and anyone would LOVE to have it left behind for their use!

Also, grinders can be found on the island, but they run pretty high, so if they are cheaper in SoCal, by all means get one there and bring it! I bought a wooden grinder that didn't really do jack so I left that one behind, but the metal one I bought there for $35 worked so good I had a friend clean it so I could take it home with me, lol! One thing I always take with me is a hand roller (for tobacco, right! ) and some packs of matching zigzags, it's fun to roll a pack or two up then place some hand rolled 'cigs' in my ciggy pack..

Also, if you are worried about insect bites, go with the avon skin so soft 2 in 1 sunscreen and insect repellent..although I really think that bugs can vary based on time of year..last time I went I just used my spray sunscreen and every now and then in the evenings added a little repellent spray..but when I go in August, I know the bugs can be pretty bad so will come loaded for bear where that's concerned, lol!

LOL, at the rate you paid for that incredible hotel deal at Summerset, had you not bought that grinder, you could have stayed two extra nights, lol ....

Don't forget your bug spray - lots of mosquitoes right now.

Oh yeah, I bring TWO high-quality floaties and a hat. I usually buy a new hat at Seastar, too.
