Gerry-

Let me chime in and say that I really enjoyed reading your Trip Reports and how brutally honest you were. What you did may not be everyone's cup-o-tea, but it IS something that is reflective of other's trips to Jamaica (to varying degrees). It get's boring to read about "rainbows" and "duckies and bunnies" on most reviews, it's very refreshing to read something that has a little edge to it.

I find it funny that it's acceptable for some to post about how drunk they get from drinking numerous Dirty Bananas, but it's not acceptable for someone to post about smoking a spliff and chilling out.

I won't speak for Gerry, but I highly doubt he was intending his posts to "speak to Jamaica", or depicting Jamaican society, as a whole, in a negative light. It was just his personal experiences, and I don't think it reflected poorly on Jamiaca, Jamaicans, or Gerry, himself.

Nice job....
