The bottom line is that we continue to return year after year because it is the most cost effective beach vacation going. A nice beach hotel in negril can be found for a week (7 nights) for what a weekend (2 nights) here in Florida costs. The average hard working Jamaican in the tourist industry makes $50 US a week. We spend about $2000 for a week (air, lodging , food, drinks, transportation). That is a years salary for a Jamaican. How could we possibly not be considered " rich ". Especially when they see us return 2-3 times a year. I agree with old timer some what, most ja guys do look at foreign women as an opportunity for nice things and as a possible ( marriage ) way out. That is not to say that true love isn't possible (I hope it is), but unlikely. The older tourist guy's who travel for pum pum disgust me, I consider them pedophiles. Every 3rd world country ( ex British colony ) that I have visited has the same phenomenon. Incredibly poor residents working as help for rich white tourists, those who don't work, resort to begging. It's a world wide thing.
