Doctoro,

Most tourists dont have the issue that you had "moving here"... it is always best to keep the information you post relevant.

There has been countless things I have experienced here in nearly 20 years living in Jamaica, literally hundreds of thousands of transactions, that were done with nothing more than a verbal agreement and the deal was kept by all parties involved.

But when booking a vacation, it is always smart to print out the confirmation and bring it with you.
