Rob-I'm a very cautious individual. Renting a scooter or even driving in Jamaica is something I would never do. I do not walk the beach at night, lit or unlit. You're right, I would have gotten in the cab Hussyband entered. I will be more careful which route taxis I enter after reading Hussybands thread. As far as assuming I thought you had an ulterior motive for this thread is absurd and embarrassing.
