You've received some great advice....and honestly I can see both sides.

I've made two "solo" trips but I wasnt solo for long either time, and i knew that going in. Truthfully, I dont think it would be super smart for me to travel to Negril completely on my own. I know myself, and I know what happens when i go to Negril. LOL With that said, you are not me, and you may be perfectly fine traveling solo.

I will say this much: If you tend to party and drink please make sure you know your limits and can keep your wits about you before making a trip to Negril by yourself. I have never felt unsafe there, but that might have been different if I didnt have friends to party with who I trust. I can see how it would be real easy to have too much to drink and in a split second make a lousy choice that could end up bein trouble. I dont say that to be a downer, just totally get where your pops is coming from. After 30+ years, he knows whats up. lol

Negril is SO beautiful and SO much fun. Be safe, be smart, and have a GREAT time whether you go alone, or with dear 'ol dad
