My first trip to JA was March 1982 We had a direct charter out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Everyone on the plane were staying at the same hotel or most of us anyway. One girl was African Canadian and got so sunburned on the first day that she spent the rest of her vacation in bed. She thought her brown skin wouldn't burn. Duh
And 2 young guys from the charter, well I guess we were all young then , about 20 yeras old. These 2 guys has rastas hanging out at their room/balcony all the time.
When we went to the airport in MoBay, one of the 2 of the guys got pulled aside, the other went through. The one that was free went directly to the washroom where he put a block of coke behind the toilet which was very quickly retrieved by the police. They found him and he was arrested as well. About a week later it was in our Halifax newspaper.
And a friends brother was a mule for a guy and got caught leaving Mobay. His family called me ( I was living in Grand Cayman at the time) to see what I could do. Nothing of course except tell them to get all the money they had to get him out of there ASAP. It was scary for Tim, alone in JA in a cell with LOTS of Jamaican men. They took everything he owned.
