What is the 90s alternative song that has a carribean drum in the backgound?

Traveler — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:00:58 +0000

The song has a carribean drum in the background and the band kind of sounds like smashing pumpkins. The singer has a higher pitched voice and the song is about a girl.

Who had been on the Royal Carribean Cruise Line before?

Traveler — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 08:42:42 +0000

Im planning a trip to the Bahamas or Australia thru the royal carribean cruise line in january.
Can anyone tell me how the cruise is like? What did YOU like about it?
Thanks!

It is the only cruise I’ve been on and it was fantastic. They do treat you like royalty. Food was great. So much to do while on board. The entire crew and staff were very nice. I was on Sovereign of the Seas. We went from Miami to Nassau and CocoCay. There were 17 of us in my party and we all had a blast. Enjoy

What is a good hair straightener for Afro-Carribean hair?

Traveler — Fri, 28 May 2010 10:05:40 +0000

I have relaxed afro-carribean hair and I want to know what flat iron is good for this type of hair?
Just to style it every few days, I want something suited for my hair type that will cause as less damage as possible (I will of course use heat protectant!)
Thanks!

You need a flat iron that gets hot enough to straighten your hair type. Here are some flat irons that I know work on your hair type because my daughter is half Jamaican and her Aunts and cousins use them on their hair

How much would a trip to Jamaica cost?

Traveler — Sun, 23 May 2010 20:28:09 +0000

With all the sights and a nice resort.
Me and 3 of my other buddies want to know because we want to go to Jamaica this summer.
So how much would it cost for one person?
With all the sights,a resort,take food into that account and souvenirs.

How much pocket money should we bring for the trip and how much money would the flight from Croatia to Jamaica cost?

A flight from Croatia (you don’t say from which airport) to Jamaica will run you a minimum of $1800 if you get a really good rate. As far as the trip is concerned, you could probably budget about $2000 and be able to stay at a decent resort like Breezes in Runaway Bay which is well suited for singles. Ocho Rios is where most of the activites are located and a trip up into Nine Mile is about 2 hours from there. Food will be included at an all inclusive resort (like Breezes) as well as all the alcohol you can consume, but try to drink responsibly Normally, tours and activities will run you an average of $80 per person if organized through your resort, but it really depends on what you want to do and see. Many people hire private guides for tours and day trips around the island. Depending on your appetite for ’souveniers’ you could end up spending an arm and a leg with as many people there trying to sell you their ‘wares’ just make sure you account for that. If you plan to spend most of your time on the resort, you won’t even need your wallet, but you won’t get to see everything that JA has to offer. Check Tripadvisor.com for resort ideas in either Negril, Runaway Bay or Ocho Rios. These are the areas that a group of single guys would enjoy themselves most in Jamaica. One Love.

What is the best month to travel to Jamaica?

Traveler — Fri, 21 May 2010 22:09:21 +0000

My husband and I want to visit Ocho Rios in Jamaica…We’ve been there 3 times..Once in May, Once in September, and once in October….We found we had the best weather in May…But just wondering what is the best month as far as lots of sun, and little rain in Jamaica?

Honestly you should visit the island during the summer months of May to July. You will always experience the warm sun and cool nights and there is usually little rain until the month of August.

How long does it take for a letter to reach Florida from Jamaica?

Traveler — Thu, 20 May 2010 16:18:40 +0000

I am waiting to recieve a letter from Jamaica, how long should it take? I have checked the Jamaica postal site, and that did not give me a time estimate…Can anyone help me?

Could take as long as 2 weeks…no telling, it depends on when the mail actually LEAVES JA. It may not ever make it if anyone in the post office thinks theres money inside.

How do I explore Jamaica outside the resort?

Traveler — Mon, 17 May 2010 07:16:22 +0000

I have been to Jamaica 3 times, and I plan on going back very soon. It’s my favorite place in the world, and I would like to know how I can explore and experience Jamaica outside the resort? I’ve been on excursions but i’d like to see some different things and really experience all there is too offer.

DonA is right. That is what I do when I visit Jamaica. I use a guy named Seymore Samuels he can be reached at c_morenitelifetours@yahoo.com or by calling 876-896-9692. He is very trustworthy and will take you anywhere you want to go on the island. I use him to go to Nine Mile and everywhere else. Just don’t try to use him on the 9th or 10th of June Have Fun!!

How much money should i take to Jamaica?

Traveler — Mon, 10 May 2010 20:53:10 +0000

Im going to jamaica in the month of October and even though $1 is the equivalent of 89 over there how much money would be a good amount to take. I mainly want to go over there and go to the clubs and do a little shopping. Were going to Montego Bay. And i also heard that meals are like 800 or 900 jamaican dollars, is that true???

No Negative Comments Please I know all about the crime rate and things so please none of that.

You seem surprised that a meal would cost 800 to 900 J. That is only about $10 US. If you are not staying AI, it’s best to budget about $100 a day for food and drinks. You will probably spend less, but it gives you a little room to play. On top of that add any partying you want to do, and then any kind of excursion and then souvenirs.

Things are going to cast roughly the same as in the US. You might expect to pay about 100J for a soda and maybe 300J for a beer. That’s going to vary depending on where you buy it.

Go and have a good time.
