JeannieB, I have been following along on your trip report.
Beautiful pictures and scenery.
Glad to see that your group made it out without any physical harm, although the other stuff you went thru seem to much to REALLY enjoy your vacation. The threat of being robbed, harrassment by the policewoman, the troll, the beating on your gate, the rum bar fued, gunshots at the football game, the knife put to Dave's throat, not being able to go the bathroom alone, not wanting to walk the area without a guide, getting bored a couple of nights because it was not safe to be out after dark, did I miss anything?
Questions for you:
1) Why and how did you pick this area of Jamaica to visit?
2) What was your motivation for staying after being told that you were potential victims for a robbery?
3) Would you vacation (I use the word vacation lightly) there again?
4) Did the other guest have the same experience when they were out and about?
Although I enjoyed most parts of your report, most of the time reading about your vacation/adventure my heart was in my throat and I kept finding myself muttering What the &^%$? Glad that you all made it out safely.
