    Re: Cash/credit card?

    On the plane I put away my US cash and put Jamaican in my pocket. I always carry a few thousand JA and stop at the ATM.

    At this point in my return I now think in JA dollars as soon as I reach. When we land till I'm in line to board going home I only use JA.

    For visitors it may be better to use US. At the very least you won't have to figure out the exchange rate and currency system.

    I use my CC (with no foreign transaction fee) to pay the bill at SS.

    A few years ago I bought a money belt for $15-20 or so. It looks like a real belt & I can easily stash $400-$500 in 50s. I've used it with no problems in Jamaica & in Europe. When I get to the hotel, I'll put the cash in the safe. I agree with most posts that you are better off using cash for small purchases & save your credit card for paying for expenses at your hotel. Be sure to take lots of small bills with you & when you use JD make sure that you understand the price in US or Canadian. It can be disconcerting at first until you realize that the $400 J that you are paying for a beer is only a few dollars at home.
