Dada - if we could get past the point of -

Me - What are you wearing?

Him - Something nice

Me - What's nice?

Him - Hush ooman, yuh nah easy!

I would be a happy camper!

Sorry sus, that is too funny. I was engaged once before and remember having this conversation with that one. AAAAGH the frustration, but now looking back via your conversation, I had to laugh. ROTFDWL.

I agree with you Shem about the experience - taking a route taxi / travelling by bus in JA is definitely an experience that you should have at least once.

lol my husband came here and was like when he saw the buses and taxis

It was definitely an experience....culture shock...I would do it all over again. Damien was shocked when I suggested we take the bus. Why wouldn't I when this man was about to leave his country to mine??? He was about to enter a place he's never been (and will catch plenty of buses here ) so I wanted to experince something in his culture.

Now you all have me very curious.... what is it like taking the bus there? The most I've done is caught a taxi up & down Norman Manley Blvd in Negril.

The police certificate is $1000 for 3 weeks or $2000 for 3 days. The guy at the security office said you can work out arrangements at Duke St (where you get the fingerprints & pick up the certificate) on how to get it. Steven is bringing a self-addressed postage paid envelope so they can send it to him hassle-free.

LOL - I had a JA craving last night so I stopped and got take out, and that's what I finished up - I haven't had a big mac in forever

That's funny.

Update: I've been thinking about the trip from Negril to Kingston and weighing the advice of everyone here (which was: have him catch the bus). I know that if I were there, there's no way I'd catch the bus for that long a ride, to go somewhere unfamiliar. And if I were there with him, I'd rent a car to go to Kingston. So I'll rent the car, but we did discuss and figure out some ways to reduce the costs. :: Ducks before people start throwing rocks ::

Also, after my hard drive crashed on my work laptop, I came home and IMMEDIATELY backed up the important stuff on my personal laptop. I usually back things up every few months, but now whenever I have important docs, I'll back it up right away. You never know when these pieces of hardware will suddenly give up their lives.

Nat - I think like you and I probably would make the same decision.

:: Ducking flying rocks with Nat ::

But then the multiple trips and bus experience is a good point. Can’t there be a compromise, do the rent-a-car the first time then if he has to go back do the bus/route taxi? I mean then he would have been there, and would know the place and where to go.

Jawi..hahaah..yuh funny..mi ave girls...but di modda dem wid di bwoy pickney dem...off the chainnnn!

You are basically providing limo service in Jamaica to order the certificate...then you are going to trust the mail service in Jamaica to deliver it? On TIME??? There is no way they would mail me ANYTHING that important.

Exactly. He'll have to go back to pick it up.

Nat - I will post my experience later. But please keep in mind other expenses in the visa process and his adjustment to the US. If you can save some money now...why not?

I was thinking that, too. One of the reasons he's taking a car is cause he's bringing someone with him who is familiar with Kingston. But after this trip, he'll know where a few places are. I'll ask him to find the embassy, too, while he's there with the car. The on future trips, it won't be a big deal to catch a bus/taxi.
