Yardies, at home and a farrin' (Part 4)

Hey, what are the actual vaccines that are needed in order to travel? The reason I ask is because it seems that many of them do not have ALL of the needed vaccines to travel. They may have some but they are missing HEP A and B or something of that nature. Their system is so screwed up in so many areas. Sometimes it just piss me off to even have to deal with the embassy and their nonsense. They make them go through so much ####### to come up here but when we go there we don't have to go through all of this procedural #######!!! I'm sorry, I'm just venting and getting very frustrated.

Are they able to go to a clinic and get the vaccines that they are missing opposed to paying for them?

Sorry if the ans was given already.

My fiance has gotten his vacinations about 6 months ago. He knew that he did not have all of them. His mom or father didn't keep up with the shots. He still has to take the booster for the shots that he got in about 12 months.

I hope that it won't be a problem that he has already gotten his oustanding shots.

Well, the OFFICIAL line is that you can have your shots ANYWHERE, as long as you have proof that the shots have been given, that's fine.

But we all know the Embassy is a law unto itself.

So that question is, has anyone been told by the EMBASSY that they HAVE to have their shots at the approved doctors?

Because it seems to me that the places that do the medical seem to be telling people that they have to get it done there, obviously they have a vested interest.

Most times it would be MUCH cheaper to have the shots done by a local doctor and bring proof to the medical.

Hi, as far as the big apple hotel in mobay is there a short cut to walk down to the hip strip like there is from el greco it seems a bit far from the strip if you cant cut across?

This question has been asked several times and as I remember it was very hard to get family members to attend the USA wedding. That is why we got married in Jamaica. All the best of luck with this

It is okay hotel!! To get there in the nights and down to the hip strip is a hassle my husband would not recommend that anyone stay there. He says in terms of getting around it is a bit difficult.

Have your man take care of the medical. My husban wanted to abied by the rules on the paper so he did and he was fine. Let your men make their gut descion and they should be fine.

Rhonda I hope everything is going better today. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this diffucult time of decisions.

Happy Fathers Day!

Can anyone recommend a car rental place in Mobay that has lower rates? I might need a car for about three weeks around next Feb. and $50.00 a day is not fitting in my existing budget

A friend of mine got married and she applied for her mom and her aunt to come to the wedding. Well the mom got approved but not the aunt. I personally think it's worth the shot, it's only a $100 for the interview plus whatever documents you have to show. It's worth a try. Just my opinion.

I agree its worth it to try..u never know...sometimes ppl with alot of ties get turned down and the ppl with not enough according to the embassy does...so i say go for it...

Well I rented a car from Apex car rental that is about 5 mins from the airport in montego bay. We just so happened to use them because they were at the airport soliciting for customers to go with their business. They weren't necessarily so much cheaper but they were pretty easy going on cutting a deal. You may want to call them to work something out.

I'm not sure that you will find something a lot cheaper that is company owned. You may also want to considering renting from a friend for the time being. Most of them use their car for taxi runs but are willing to give a daily rate for using their car. This is pretty good because you don't have to pay a deposit down. We also did this on one of my trips to JA. Hope this is helpful. Good luck with everything!

Thats a another option but be aware of who ur renting from. Sometimes they DO NOT have insurance on the car and if ur pulled over God forbid, ur the one driving an uninsured vehicle. It happened to a friend of mine...what u could do...is see if somehow u can befriend a taxi guy and have him come pick u up when u need to go places. This I do, we get to know each other and he starts giving u a discount. I use the same taxi guy everytime I go..have his number stored in my phone...just another option

Dwain's mom owns her own house and she has tried 3 times since we have been together and been denied each time. She is a bit frustrated with the whole thing and will never go back. It is worth a try I just haven't heard of many people having good luck. The only time I have seen my friends get visas if they were attending college or University.
