One of the things I learned on my first vacation are that things are not always what they seem in advertisements. While Jamaica was a beautiful island with great beaches and warm, crystal clear water, the inhabitants were less than hospitable to Yankees due to the political turmoil that the island was experiencing. In fact I was warned that if you leave the resort do so only with a large group of people...".Oh Oh..where am I going?" Funny though, I did stay at the resort all the time and it was not for personal security reasons...
I will say though that on the my day on Jamaica I was in the resort's shuttle bus on the way to the airport when a couple of military transports passed us going in the opposite direction with soldiers onboard slinging automatic weapons over their shoulders.... It was nice to get back home...
It seems that all of that has changed as Jamaica has turned into one great vacation spot. Everyone that goes there nowadays has nothing but good things to say about it...Everything is IRIE mon.
