Gerry, I joined this site just to respond to your thread. First, I have to say I really enjoyed following the adventures on your vacation. (as did many others). It sounds like you had the greatest time! Thanks for sharing your vacation. I just wanted to say I am surprised by the "judgement" and accusations you are now getting since you vacation is over. To me, it seems you did nothing more than spend some (or a lot) of your hard earned cash, and sounds as if you were generous with everyone along the way, in no way harming anyone. Some may not like to see in print the everyday runnings and realities of Negril, but you had to have struck a chord (and/or a nerve with many people). Sure, some things are understood, and maybe better left unwritten, but you didn't have all those folks reading your postings to check what you were having for breakfast. Enjoying yourself, spending money that is sorely needed in Jamaica, while treating people well along the way doesn't seem so bad to me.
