i always so im staying at a resort. also, i always say im staying a week even tho i stay for weeks to a month. now i have beeen questioned as to y i have so much luggage for a short trip but i just tell them im a woman! lol! i do tell them honestly that i bring stuff for my boyfriend. the last trip i had to jamaica this summer, coming home i was harrassed by customs. i think its because i have been so frequent in this little time. so i told them that i been to visit my fiance and i tell them that i stay with him and the truth of course of my length of stay. but thats to the customs people once i reached stateside.

Ive never had a problem with customs in JA...always told them I was staying with my fiance and after the first trip they had it in their system his address and phone number and such so they didnt ask me any questions besides how long I would be in JA for. I always told them how long I was staying whether it was a week or a month they never seemed to have a problem with it...just be honest they can usually tell!
