If you go to Jamaica do notleave your resort. I'd advise against going to Jamaica though honestly. Jamaican's do not like Americans and most of Jamaica is not the romantic place people think it is, it's very poor and can be very dangerous if you end up in the wrong area. So if you go DO NOT LEAVE YOUR RESORT!!!!

With all due respect, I don't find this to be true at all. I feel safe traveling around MoBay, Ocho Rios, Negril and all the way to the south coast/Treasure Beach. Vendors may approach you but also respect a firm "no thank you." I do not believe that Jamaicans don't like Americans at all and find most to be friendly, helpful, usually even warm and willing converse with us.

It is true that it is a poorer country than what one might be used to, and as a tourist you should always keep your wits about you regardless of the country but I have never once felt threatened or in danger while in Jamaica, and I've been a few times.

One of my favorite parts of visiting Jamaica is meeting and hanging out with Jamaican people. And eating Jerk Chicken. And drinking the amazing Blue Mountain coffee and/or fruity rum drinks.

If you don't want to venture out on your own, you don't have to. Many resorts have excursions you can plan right from the hotel, a bus will pick you up, take you to your destination, and take you right back. Our last trip there, we took a catamaran trip down the coast, and then spent the afternoon at Floyd's Pelican Bar, which is a little thatch-hut place out on a sandbar in the ocean that you can only get to by dingy. (Google it!) Best day ever.

Bayosgirl,
As far as visiting Jamaica, I would suggest heading over to tripadvisor.com and checking out the various resort reviews. They also have forums dedicated to a lot of different vacay spots with a lot of active posters to keep you in the loop of how a resort is currently doing. They have Jamaica specific forums. Determine what you want to do on your trip, if you want shopping or nightlife or off-resort tours and sightseeing, what your price range is, all-inclusive or not, and plan accordingly. I spend weeks at that site when I'm planning a trip...it's invaluable!

One love!

No, I don't care for it. I don't hate it or anything.

Reggae is one of the few genres of music that I really don't care for. I've never heard reggae that I'd put on my Zune/computer for regular listening.

I have never heard any that I liked, but to be fair, I haven't really been exposed to very much. The same with the original ska. In any other genre of music there is normally a mainstream, and then lesser a small group of lesser known artists who really stand apart.

Where I live it plays all the time, it is better then some of the other popular music they play.
