Of course, with me, it depends a lot on whether I am heading up to Accompong Town directly or going to Negril first. If I am heading home, I get a neighbor to give me a ride and just get out of the airport as fast as possible and head directly into the Cockpits.
If I am going to Negril first, I get out as fast as possible and look for Linston's smiling face. A little help with the luggage and we are on our way to a Cambio on the Hip Strip to cash as much money as I think I will need for the Negril leg of my trip.
I have to make a continuous effort to calm down and decompress. I get so anxious to go to Jamaica that my frenetic stateside personality prods me to keep it up after landing. Linston's calm demeanor goes a long way towards putting me in a "no problem" state of mind. Since I usually don't eat meat, I put off eating until getting to a cook shop next to Drifters on the beach where I can get some excellent fresh caught fish and a cold drink.
The remaining few hours are used up getting to my room, showering and changing into more casual attire. By this time, the transformation is complete or nearly complete. My thoughts are now solely about Jamaica and Babylon has faded into a distant past life.
Peace and Guidance
