remember the 2 dollar bill well.

I always have to chuckle when I see a 2 dollar note.

I used one (in my younger and wilder days) to purchase my first (approximate) ounce of Jamaican herb!

No longer do that but when I am living in the bush of Jamaica's interior, I now see a pound going for the "then to now" equivalent of twenty of them!

That is one thing that has held it's value rather consistently even with the outrageous devaluation of the Jamaican dollar!

Jamaica would NEVER make weed legal, for fear of the actions of the US

" wow. its so cool to hear about how things were years back. I thought the airport terminal was so unique also when i first started going. Open air terminal, its for sure changed now"

you are probably talking about the "Charter Terminal" that Apple and such would use, its still there at the West* end of the runway, Private Use now........Yes...that was a "HOOT" a real circus most of the times......go thru customs to buy a beer, walk back thru the other way...nobody cared....lol

"I hope the local salaries are going up..as well. "

I would doubt it..I feel sad for the Jamaicans, every time the value of their dollar drops, they just go further down on the "scale".......same as in the US,,but here for most of us, we are not living on the edge of poverty, in a leaking boat.....most of my Jamaican friends are

they will survive, as they always had, they have too !........
same as us, only for us ,we do it in some comfort................

stay safe
