[net.travel] Travel to the Jamaica

jla@usl.UUCP (Joe Arceneaux) (05/23/85)

Recently I have heard of many cheap flights (including hotel in many cases)
to the Carribbean (sp?) area, and only today heard about flights from
Orlando to Jamaica for $99 (one way).  I am hence wondering about cheap
hotels in the area.  Can anyone with Jamaican experience give me some pointers?

Thanks!

I have been told that you don't want to go to Jamaica right now
if you're white. Racial tension is high. Any truth to this rumor?

My husband and I just returned from a vacation in Montego Bay.
We had a wonderful time and did not experience any "Racial Tension".
We were warned, however, to stay away from Kingston.  We did.

As the saying goes..."Jamaica -- No problem !!"
