all inclusive vs. non all inclusive

[Jenn]

I guess we have always been either lucky or smart. Nobody ever said to us at an AI or not, to not venture off the resort. Sure they have tried to get us to use their drivers, but nothing a no thanks and a short walk didn't take care of. Here comes my can of worms....*winces* If people go to Jamaica and stay at their resort OR if they go and stay at a non AI, or they go and camp on the island, who cares?! I have always wondered why people are criticized for where they stay. It's their money, their vacation, and we should let it be...not criticize or talk about them having less of an experience, after all, depending upon the reach and the reason for it, maybe that isn't their reason for going.

I agree. That is the beauty of individuality.
