I now will only stay in places I consider "really REALLY safe" -- I imagine this is because of my age, coming to Jamaica since 1972.... etc... because of where I live in upstate NY the weather is pretty much unacceptable so I need some SUNSHINE and warmth and need to get out of town. The easiest place in the entire world for me to get away to is in Jamaica, just because I know and love it so... I do love staying at the Treehouse initially and then moving to Catcha Falling Star after a week. "After Dark" -- or at least after 8 or 9 p.m. seems different to me in these times. Wow ! all the walls on the seaside of the westend.. so I guess I will be one of those people behind those walls now... I felt exceptionally safe at Catcha -- even when I left one night to go to a 'stage show' the security guard didn't want us to leave without a lecture & his insistence of him finding us a (really) inexpensive ride to the event. The grocery store across the street closed at 8 p.m. with a little 12" x 12" window if you needed anything after 8 p.m. I think it's just easier to not go out after dark (????) After 9 p.m. I only felt safe (running) from Catcha Falling Star to either LTU or Ten Sing Pen. Just stayed at Treehouse and only went next door...
