    Re: visit regrets and $ ramblings

    As far as Canadians go if a lower than desirable exchange rate is your biggest problem then you are doing pretty good. You have a beautiful country, great people, awesome women, no wars, little poverty, clean air and water, relatively honest government by comparison. How and why exchange rates on the CD could be a long debate.

    So if Negril costs you more and Jamaica is your destination there are other places to go that are less expensive than Negril. Just get off the beaten path and you'll find some great places to go. I'm sure the CD will rebound soon enough so like other Janadians have said, check out your own wonderland this year and put off Ja until it makes more sense.

    i am old enough to have seen the $ fluctuate both ways numerous times over the years... but generally speaking, the US $ reigns supreme.
    Although Jamaica is my favourite winter destination, when the Cdn $ is so distressed, we try to travel to another Caribbean destination. Cuba or Barbados are popular choices for us and we don't have to worry about the US $ problem in Cuba. Well, not yet anyway.
    Having said that, about a year ago, friends approached us about going to Hawaii this winter. Fortunately , we booked and paid for 2 of the 3 weeks at that time. Dollar has really tanked since then.
    This summer, when we sometimes head over the border to visit our American neighbours, we sadly won't be. As you stated, johng, we will be heading to the Canadian maritimes - a place we've never been.
    Jamaica will be there when we next decide to visit.
