A silly money question - US$ to JA$

[Fred Stripe]

I remember being all excited to get to Negril and from the airport the 1st stop for a beer was at the Lollipop bar on the road. We were on the "compound bus" and jumped off for a Red Stripe as the others would stay on the bus and sneer at us for holding them up in their Rush to get into the compound. No more compounds and no more bus and sadly,no more Lollipop Bar.

The last few times I stopped at the Lollipop (in Sandy Bay), it was less than a pleasant experience. It seemed that some people realized that "everyone" knew about the place and the prices for beers had gone through the roof. The service was bad and there was incredible pressure to buy all your "supplies" at that moment and not to wait until getting to Negril.

We took that place off our list of places to stop in the mid/late 90's and chose Valerie's stop instead. You can still get a cold beer at a fair price in Sandy Bay at Valerie's.
