If anyone has ever been hurry and reply and give me ideas of what we HAVE to do while we are there, we already have Dunn River Falls, Snorkeling, and Zip Lining on the agenda :)

    I did not care for the people in your face 24/7 trying to sell you drugs, junk, or whatnot there. It is a beautiful Island very lush and plenty of things to do. We have been all over the world and I have experieced a ton of places tropical and not. I dont have the desire to go back after being to other places such as St.lucia, Aruba, St John, Just to name a few. The excursions your doing are all cool. We did a sting ray and dolphin tour that was amazing in jamaca and still rivials one of the coolest things we have done. I dont know if this helps but we have been alover and there is not much more that I can recommend then what your doing.

    very true on all points IMO. Though, I didn't mind some of the stuff being pushed ;) In a lot of ways, it's very similar to the Dominican if you've been there.

    A lot of the Caribbean nations are very very dangerous... *if* you leave the tourist spots. It's not a joke at all. But it's really no big deal if you stick to where you're supposed to be.

    Be safe and watch out for 'distractions'.

    "Police say the five killings pushed Jamaica's total number of homicides so far this year past 500, putting it on par with the record 1,680 murders during 2009. "
