Yardies at Home and a Farrin (part14)

[DaDa 1]

OK im trying to be as prepared as i possibly can ...I know that this is a different topic then what is being discussed . But when i travel to Jamaica this will be my first flight ever and i was wondering does anyone have any advise

Sit back, relax and don't try to run everybody over when you arrive in JA because you want to get off de plane..

Wow first flight. I can't even remember mines. I think I was in my teens on my way to NJ to see my brother.. The first time I flew to JA by myself I was so nervous. We’ll I wasn't nervous about the plane but seeing my Roc.

my fiance is insistent on only flying air Jamaica any opinions on that

never flown with AJ

just be sure to leave plenty of time in the airport

sometimes the lines are outta control for both checking in- ie getting your boarding pass and checking luggage

and security

be sure to have your passport!

you will do fine

thanks again .... and if you think of anything at anytime please let me know ...do you know where you find what you can bring as far a your toiletries i was told ther were restrictions on what you can bring

But when i travel to Jamaica this will be my first flight ever and i was wondering does anyone have any advise

for security~

wear shoes you can easily take off

no belt

all cosmetic stuff has to fit in quart size ziplock bag- only one per person

no liquids past security

no metal on clothes- otherwise you might set off detector and then be wanded

laptop out of case

i usually look a mess on the plane- and then change and freshen up in the bathroom in the airport

be friendly and smile with immigration officers

bring a pen to fill out card and gum to chew on the plane

have address of where you are staying

and declare nothing- play dumb

enjoy your trip

Oh so I'm not the only one that changes in the bathroom??

If anyone lives in the Chicago area. My husband band Dub Dis play at the Wild Hare on Tuesday nights. No cover charge. http://www.wildharemusic.com/

One Love

Oh, I love the Wild Hare. Wish I was coming that way.

I love the Wild Hare too! My friends play out there all the time - it's been a long time since I did a weekend trip with them

I'm trying to go there this summer too. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks Jomo she is getting so big. We just got her one year photos taking and they are so cute. I will have to scan them into my facebook page as soon as we get back from Florida.

If any of you go to the Wild Hare sometime let me know. I will soon have the summer off and will go see my hubby for the first time plus I can get grandma to babysit.

My2rmylife, are you flying AJ out of BWI, or ?. Which airport are you flying into Kingston or Mo-Bay?

air jamaica BWI and kingston

My2rmylife, are you flying AJ out of BWI, or ?. Which airport are you flying into Kingston or Mo-Bay?

air jamaica BWI and kingston

Okay, so you are traveling to BWI, which is about 3 hours away from where you live, Taking American Airline out of Dulles would have been better, you would have had a lay-over in Maimi. Kingston airport is small, are you staying at a hotel in Kingston?

If so have a print out of your travel plans to show to Kingston customs. Be prepare to go thru customs in Kingston, use the visitor line. If you have gifts, do not declare them, you will have to pay a custom tax on them.

What part of Kingston will you be staying?

Im still trying to find hotels there that are not too expensive ...

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Okay, what part of Kingston does your SO live, is it Kingston 17, 14 ?, or give me the name and I can tell you what part is is and what hotels are reasonable and safe.

Are you traveling by your self, no GF going with you?

he actually lives in spanishtown

[LIFE'SJOURNEY 970]

Do you want me to assit you if so I need more information. My husband lives in Kingston and I travel there quite often.

Personally, for my 1st trip I wouldn't go alone, I would take a friend whom I could trust. Trust me leave AJ alone, you can find cheaper flights than AJ.
