you'll want to exchange for some JA. Also you are referring to route taxi fare for your routes to town then to the cliffs which is fine although being it is your first time you may want to hook up with a driver to make it easier on yourself. Having some small US bills will also be usefull but knowing your JA exchange will be important. Have fun.
A route taxi is $100 Jamaican dollars per person per route. I agree that if it is your first time you might want to avoid the confusion and charter a red plate taxi instead of using a route taxi.
Last Dec I paid a guy on a scooter 1,000J to bring me from Seastar to the Hilo and back...It was SO cool,the driver had a Red Stripe in one hand and a smoke in the other screaming down the hills and beeping at his friends with the white guy on bck. Passing the beer & smoke along the way !!!!!!!!
If your'e on Long Bay beach and say want to go to Bloody Bay I ask ithe jet ski guys for a price and use them as a water taxi.....Tell them to come back in 2 hours....
My Jamaican friend from Nirvana took my GF and I to see her board house up in the hills overlooking Negril. We went up by route taxi and to go back down she hired 3 guys with motorcycles. Now that was fun! Zipping down the hills, seeing the beach from that perspective, holding onto a ripped young jamaicans body, I think that was the BEST part.Originally Posted by Fred Stripe

Dear Gary, Limo Mon suggested you leave the bling at home, bring less clothes and more money! Good suggestion! Perhaps you can fill the empty space from less clothes with more clothes--for St. Anthony's Kitchen. We have a thrift shop at The Kitchen and are always looking for clothing! Just a thought! Have a great time here with us! Peace and all good and safe travel. --Fr. Jim
