Smiling here as I pulled up the jamaica caves map, it is the same model as the one I carry today, has to be going on 20 years old. Phone numbers and directions written in the margins, juice glass and coffee cup rings, it got to be as soft as cotton and I had to clear tape over the whole map to hold it together. An old dear friend indeed.
I guess I wasn't smart enough to worry about the hazards of driving on our first trip to Ja, I climbed behind the wheel of a rental jeep first thing and the adventure has continued every trip in.
I do smile when I see GPS Nav questions. I navigate by picking the wiggliest road that goes through mountains on the map and let my hands be the guide. It's an Island when I hit a coast I know I need to go west back to Negril.
Vigilance good, anxiety bad,,,,,, do not ruin a vacation if your anxiety level is going to turn what should be an adventure into a chore.
MC World is good. Years ago when VISA still covered I had a tire failure and turned a claim in for $1,350.00 J which at that time was about $90.00 U.S.. I didn't really think to much about the receipt having $1,350.00 on it, I figured VISA would see the $90.00 U.S. charge. A few weeks later our reimbursement check came in the mail for $1,350.00 U.S.,,,,, darn Karma I sent it back.
I'll look tonight, I have an old ramble that adresses insurance, tyre security, getting pulled over, etc.
