How do you keep the ice frozen?? and other stupid questions...

[nutz4travel]

Seriously - the fridge we'll have is just a small bar fridge, I don't think it has a freezer. Just wonder what all you experts do to keep the ice from melting

Does anyone know if you can buy Frangelico at the HiLo or Wise Choice? We can only bring 1L PP of alcohol in to Jamaica correct? We plan on hitting the duty free at the airport in TO, but they don't have Frangelico... I know they have it in the bars in Negril, hoping they have it at the store as well...

More stupid questions to come (as they come to me)...

We bring a collapsable cooler and just get ice from the hotel a couple times a day. Most of those little fridges have a small freezer on top.

keep it out of the rum....

keep it out of the rum....

That doesn't sound like a good solution! LOL

Country Country has a small freezer. I'd take the ice bucket to the bar for ice, then put some in a ziplock bag in the freezer to use as needed. Repeat. No problem mon!

Can't help with your other question, I stuck to red stripe, coco mania rum & rum cream!

P.s. don't forget to tip the security guards at your hotels. My friend Jason at Country Country works 60 hours a week and makes $500/month before taxes. Covers rent, taxis to/from work and bills (if he's lucky). Doesn't leave much left for food. They don't get paid holidays, if he takes days off it comes off that $500/month. His family lives in St Elizabeth, but he hardly ever gets to see them b/c he can't afford to take the time off work.


Monique & Jason:


If you'd like to get a fantastic massage from a healing Rasta lady, ask Jason to hook you up with Monica. She charges about $80 but I asked Jason if she'd do it for $1/minute, same as they charge at other places on the beach, she agreed. Asked for 50 minutes, but she kept on going until she was done with you (as long as you needed it). I gave her a bit more as a tip. She fixed up both my friend and me. She comes to you and will set up on your patio, the beach, or in your cottage, we opted for our patio. Here's a photo of her on the beach, lovely woman:



Here's a photo of my friend and me enjoying our last sunset (No, we are not a couple)

Good point Melody - we'll make sure he's taken care of! They all work sooooo hard for so little...

our driver picks us up at the airport complete with a cooler with R/S on ice, we stay at ROOMS but you have to pay extra for a small bar fridge, buy a cooler or bring a large soft cooler , with a few small garbage bags to prevent leakage, soon come

I've bought Frangelico in the past at the airport when departing but it was seveeral years ago.

If you can't find it you might ask someone at a liquor store to order it for you. A friend was looking for Jaeger about 2 years ago and asked John at the Shamrock if he had it. He didn't stock it but said he could order it. 2 days later she was enjoying her Jaeger bombs on the beach.
