Rgirl - In one sentence you acknowledge we are contemplating a Negril trip in December, then you very next sentence you decide I am "on a mission" to keep others from doing the same????
There is a reason I have been to Negril more than any other southern destination, I enjoy it there. I love the food, the smells , the weather, the sea, and many of the people. Just because we don't stay more than a couple weeks at a time doesn't mean we haven't made "friends" there. I guess you never read my story of the great guy that repaired our flat tire while touring on scooter out to Little Bay. There's another guy I always visit that works at one of the rental places. We always enjoy a few "smokes" together when I am there.
I just hate the seemingly increasing level of crime that is happening there. My wife had her purse snatched in the early evening, it was dark out but not late. All it held was a few dollars and our camera. So the big loss was 2 weeks worth of photos, including a few of our friend near Brighton. Lesson learned - purses do not leave hotel room. The only time we carry any significant amount of cash is when leaving the atm. We are not big spenders while travelling, unless fishing is involved. I don't go to Jamaica to fish.
