You girls are singing my song....frequent JA trips (and phone calls) are extremely costly.

I should be a spokes person.....after years of trial and error...... Sprint has an awesome International call card found @ Radio Shack for $10.85 and you get 63 minutes. believe that is equal to 15 cents a minute. they never charge a fee and it's good for like 14 months from when you buy it. (like we would need it for sssooo long!) can anyone beat that??? dare ya!

I get cards from ctacards.com I think for 20 bucks you get a little over 2 hours which equates to about 16 cents a minute same way. But I can use that card up in one shot!!! Why cant we get good rates???? Robbery I tell you.

Sorry, DIW, just have some time now to surf and saw this. I don't think my neighborhood is in the pics, but I do think you might have been at Richmond Hill, but I have only been in the parking lot looking down at Canterberry, not in the bar or restaurant. Canterberry is a slum and a very dangerous area. My guide will not even go in there. But Richmond Hill is way up from Canterberry. By the way I'm not sure of the spelling of Canterberry, as it may be Canterbury.

dwell, i think i bought that card from radioshack back in the beginning of my relationship a few years ago. they were running a special (buy one get one free) so i ended up with two 500 minute phone cards. when i read the back of the card the 500 minutes were for domestic use only and international minutes were less of course. i don't know how it happened, but for one of the cards i actually got 500 minutes to jamaica! the second card only gave me a fraction of the minutes which is why i didn't buy it again. the company i use now gives me 18 cents a minute.

i'm pretty sure you were at richmond hill. i almost booked there for one of my trips and that terrace looks very familiar.

You live near me keep me posted if you see a good airfare....I am going in November as soon as the fare drop.

Is that for land-line phones or cellular? I use ringmomma.com I know it sounds ghetto don't it?, but the rates are good and you can register your cell phone so u nuh have to enter a pin everytime. $10 is like 72 minutes (cellular) no connection fees and you can recharge it over the net

Can't wait. Made myself miserable all day today wishing I were there already.

Negril Gardens?? is that the place that has fence/wire all around it like a prison???

closer to RootsBamboo than Alfreds?? I have it in a pic, if I find it.....later....
