Awesome. First stop was Montego Bay. From there we island hopped. I came home and quit one of my jobs. Then an old friend showed up that’s now homeless. This is after an illustrious career as a mfg engineer. Some bad luck, some self imposed. Now I’m babysitting his dog. A pug-chihuahua mix that’s “somewhat” housebroken. No good deed goes unfucking punished. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them stop in Jamaica . We might try to fit something in between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be fun but I like cruises. Cozumel, George Town, Grand Cayman, Falmouth, etc. There are lots of different options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand many people enjoy cruises. I’m not one of them. I just know too much about humans to be floating around the ocean with 5000 of them eating from the same buffet line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falmouth is a huge new port for cruise ships. It has all the usual US food chains. Not really Jamaica at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaica or New Orleans are both interesting when you get off the beaten path, as is Nassau, Zihuatenejo, Cozumel, etc. In Jamaica me and some dude from Long Island were on rented Honda beater bikes when we followed some rasta from Ocho Rios up to some village in the hills called Walker. the food and the ganj was great and we made some friends, our newlywed wives were somewhat pissed when we got back several hours later In Nassau it was me and the wife on a public bus and then a rented motorcycle, everyone was pleasant, life is an adventure and good times. I'm with you on island hopping via plane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been accosted to buy shit in montego but never that bad, I'd go again and just make sure to either hire a driver or book a tour.

We stayed at Sandals in Ocho Rios, and there were armed guards with AK47s lining the property. Overall I don’t think it’s too bad, but there is a significant criminal element that would prey on the tourists if not for the presence.
