Nope, not since I found out that they sell perfectly good fish in food stores. However, we DO soak up a bit of the ambience of the salt-water fishing experience most every Sunday morning when we go down to the drift fishing dock in Lantana to visit our favorite breakfast place, Tackey Joe's.

GAWD, poverty positively FLOURISHES there.... Ocho Rios is worth seeing, and climbing those water falls. That's about it... unless you're a youngish blonde, or the right color...

We gave the falls a pass, at least the climb. 6 of us hired a van for a tour&shopping and that worked out pretty good. They have an official there at the taxi stand that records the deal you negotiate with the taxi driver and takes all of your names so they know who you are leaving with. They told us in every way possible that you never get in an unofficial taxi, you might never be seen again!

Sound advice.... it goes this way: 'Hi, I'm Oscar, Sirs, and I can take you anywhere you want to go....' Bang; into the Bay with you. Isn't that too bad, they fished some more tourists out of the Bay with their throats cut. They must have been in the drug trade.... If you ever do go back, arrange a climb with the hotel. It is really a gas...

My Dad still goes skiing on the face of the Matterhorn every year, but he's been doing it since his late twentys. You have to consider the worst case scenario and see if you can accept that.,,. I therefore understand re: your not climbing those falls. I do have some experience, and so I'd do it again. But there'd be some money in it for the guide.... after we got back down safely.

The Jamacians I have bumped in to here in Florida are very decent and trustworthy folk, and that goes for most of the Caribbean islanders I have met. That said, you can not generalize from them to an unprotected walk through a Jamacian getto. Vaughn > Steve > Yes!

Those people are going places and making headway for themselves. That's why they left their homes. You see a lot of them in the Cayman Islands as well. Those are the ones that are go-getters and want to excell for themselves and their children. I'd say that if a Jamaican can get out of his island and make a go of it in Brooklyn, NY (where it gets cold in winter), that alone is victory. Bravo SP SignatureTo reply: take out the TRASH... The Jamaican who worked side by side with my Dad for 40 years is now a very good family friend. His family is wonderful.
