Irie neighbor ... Well I have no questions about Jamaica since I grew up in the region.

Which part do you live? Anywhere near Kingston? I have not been there in a while, but like the other Caribbean islands it is a beautiful place.

Anyway ... I'm a 'southie'

I live in montego bay, st james.

It is not well percieved here.

But there are gay and lesbians here.

And the country seems to be more accepting about gay and lesbians as the years go by.

I believe Jamaicans will eventually accept it as the norm in a couple of years.

ok travel plan to jamaica, moved in a couple of years :P

Oh I missed your question above. I was born in Columbia, but my parents are from the Caribbean. I didn't stay very long in Colombia. I grew up in Trinidad and Grenada. I visited Barbados, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Puerto Rico and Jamaica - albeit for a very short time. It's good to meet another person from the area.

It aint cheap but it all depends on how long you want to visit.

It it's 3 days bring like $600 us dollars (which doesn't include a roundtrip air fair)

If it's a week bring like $900.

It's like a $100 per night at a hotel which includes food and stuff.

The hotels are really nice.

And to rent a car is l think $75 per day, there might be packaged deals like maybe $150 dollars for three days but thats about right.

You can also check out vacation deals online.
