Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 6)

[*JG* 2]

At that price it might be cheaper to fly - I know Air JA has shuttle flights between the two airports

Not at the times they need. They were bumped from their flight from their connecting airport to Kingston already. Thus, the reason for flying into MoBay.

Does anyone know what the going rate for a ride from Montego Bay to Kingston would be? If you have any connections, could you post them or PM me with that info too?

Hey JG;

My girlfriend had to return to the embassy last week and she lives in Coral Gardens in Mobay. The driver charged her $180/US. The driver also waited on her and made a few other stops after she was finished with the embassy, so I'm guessing that's why he wanted so much. I also checked with a few more people and I got anywhere from $150 - $200/US.

Is that there and back, Tre?

Yes and make sure the driver is not paid until the person in back in Montego Bay, but I'm sure the person knows that. Sometimes you can talk them down like offering to buy them lunch or something.

Unruly Gal/Gill,

Its so funny on Wednesday morning he seemed to be doing everything he could possibly think of to prolong taking me to the airport. He fooled around so much that I even had time to make breakfast. Then once we finally leave the house he makes 50,000 stops. The bank, gas station, picking up friends along the road to give rides etc. When finally I had to say, "sweety you know I don't want to leave you and all, but if you make me miss this flight, we are going to have some problems..He then looks at me and says,,,"Okay, okay, okay!... Gill you remind me of him saying hush..He tells me that all the time.

Unruly, I think I've kind of mastered the not crying part now. Although it feels like I'm leaving my best friend or a part of me behind everytime I leave him..Its like a huge lump in stomach, almost makes me sick.

That is funny.....I hear "hush" quite often.......

That's whay Marcel paid. $20.00/US what a deal for the distance...but he had to leave 4:30 in the morning to do what he had to do, but he was back in Bay before noon.

Well by route taxi/bus, it was around like $4 US equiv. From Mobay buspark to Spanish town direct...they stop like once along the way. Then you just get a route taxi from there into Kingston. There is a express bus that is like $20US to Kingston direct. The $4 bus wasn't bad to me. Its a big bus not a van.

WHAT?! Are we talking driving? These are above and beyond tourists rates. Even Clives Transportation service goes to mobay -king for much less than this and its a nice ride.

TY; that seems like yesterday. Every time I left Marcel in Jamaica the morning that I'm leaving we would go to beach for an early dip. I always check in early then go to "Dead End Beach" to eat and drink a little...but mostly to talk. We would just sit there and put our foreheads together. He would hold my head in his hands and tell me don't cry think about how exciting it will be to see me again. I was so blessed to be able to have him fly back with me. They gave him a farewell party and I've never seen so many grown men cry. His older male friends who have been married for many years gave us a little notebook with quotes in it that help to keep their relationship in check. I thought it was so sweet. It was different love stories of how they met their wives and how to keep the FIRE BURNING. I read through the entire notebook while waiting for our flight to leave on 4th of July. I'll have to admit, I do find that "our" -- Jamaican men are the best lovers and the little notebook they gave us back it up. At the end of his party they sprayed us with champagne and I was because the night was early and I was still trying to look FLY Oh well, then they sprayed us with whipcream...that was it I was ready to cut someone, but it was all in fun.

DIT-TO!!!! Oh, how I miss Dead End! ...especially since they fixed up the bar now!

We keep telling ourselves..."we are going back soon...we are going back soon!!!" Hopefully for Rebel Salute 2009

Bless,

Gill
