I hope ya have a fun time,don't leave anything of value in your room.

if ya leave any bottles of rum etc,expect it to be watered down when you return!

You'll love the drinkin water hehehe.Bring lots of chewing gum for the kids and if your into trading bring any old jeans,belts,anything shiney and if you smoke wacky tobackie stay inside your resort area or we won't be seeing ya for a long time.Just a few hints and if youtke any bus tours be expected to be surounded by lots of locals wanting to make deals and sell their crafts.other than that you'll love the beaches but don't expect to be alone at night when you want to be on those nice powdered beaches.just be careful have lots of fun:sofa:

We have been doing the schools for a while and on the resort we stay at , my wife raised around 6,000 dollars to help rebuilt the staffs home after the hurricane last year and believe me they like us. The average person on the resort makes 8 to 10 dollar for a 10 hour shift. This is where we stay.

We stay at the all inclusive super club resorts, Grand Lido Braco Resort. 24 hour room service ,laundry service , spa service all included. No tips, they come turn your bed down and put flowers on the pillow every night. All food and drinks included, Management will have a private reception for us when we get there. This is a four star resort.  The good thing is you can get  up at three in the morning and have a full meal and drinks delivered to your room or you can go to breakfast or have it in bed , up to you.  This is Jamacia at its best.  The public isn't allowed on the property or the beach. No drugs or people trying to sell them to you. The frig in the room is stocked daily with whatever you want to drink. You can get spoiled there if you arn't careful . .  Bob

Martha is a great wife and i could never do better. The little kids call us Uncle Bob and Aunt Martha , the last trip i made to Jamacia i had 40 pairs of shoes in my suitcase. The guy at customs ask why the suitcase was so heavy and i told him the wife won't wear the same outfit twice , which was the truth and he said i know where you are coming from and enjoy Jamacia. I also took two or three hard drives and a bunch of computer parts and rebuilt three of the computers we installed earlier in their school. This time we are taking 40 pair of reading glasses because some of the kids can't see very well to read their class books. We love the children and they love us but you can only do so much. This is a third world country and they don't even have running water in the school and the latrine is outside holes in the ground and very nasty. They don't really have much of a chance. :sad:
