cautions

Thu, 26 Apr 2012 05:54:15 GMT

Would you guess that security would be one of the top questions I get on my website about a Jamaican vacation?

Yup, it is my friend and I would understand why.

So guess what, (In addition to all the other good stuff) I've dedicated an entire chapter of the JAMAICA INSIDER GUIDE to...
"Cautions", which includes precautions on:

personal security,
money and valuables,
personal care and
local laws (don't be surprise, you'll soon learn why)

But I've even gone further to include:

"Tips & Trips", which captures straight-forward numbered suggestions on:

best ways to get around
sure-fire money saving tips (while here)
and information on tipping, yes tipping - that can get uncomfortable sometimes. We all know about culture uniqueness, don't we :-)

So as I continue to tune and polish this project, I'm realizing more and more how necessary and timely this is my friend.

It will be of tremendous value to everyone, from the first time tourist to the '30+ trips' visitor. Anyone who needs to have that perfect Jamaica vacation!

...so just a few more weeks to go my friend - but definitely in May, just bear with me a little more :-)

So did you add your comment on this 'baby' as yet?

I've gotten a lot of 'Anonymous' comments there, so I'm not sure of everyone who commented. If not, please stop by and leave a comment partner, OK?

And please, pass share this with someone who you think might hear about this. Thanks.

Talk again soon my friend...gone back to work.

Regards,
Wellesley
