Probably won't get on till the evening. 12:45 appt, and a 4 hour drive from Kingston to Negril (actually Orange Bay) Who knows maybe a page will load faster with Digicel in Kingston as opposed to Mobay. It was way to slow in Mobay. Of course can't stay there long, wife hates Kingston since they robbed her for her Razr gettin off the bus at 3 mile. I can't understand the Jamaican love for the fancy cell phone. That was on her way to Kingston for her last interview.

I can't believe you have to prepay for parking at paymaster for parking at the embassy. Anything to make it difficult. Cha.
