Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

I'm in Calgary. So it costs me an arm and a leg just to get to Ont.
Do they pay crap?

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

nah gurl the pays great too....its just the everyday grind that sucks. health benefits - great, crazy low airfare (sorry) but we fly standby...above average pay (i'm on salary but i think it breaks down to about $26 per hour)....i know i shouldn't complain but the hours suck....i've been with the company 8 1/2 years and i'm stuck on graveyard if i want to have decent days off and ever see my son.

oh well...its back 'home' in 26 more days!!!

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

DAMN! I think I should look into that! I make $27/hr and thought I'd never see that in another job outside the gov't!!!! Do I have to be bilingual?

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

right now there may be a hiring freeze but i'm not sure. worth looking into. at one point you had to be bilingual to be hired at AC but i think the last hire was unilingual....

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

I started going to jamaica because my mom has family still there in St. Mary. I've been going since I was a baby and I plan on going next month for two weeks.

Nice to see you have figured out how to navigate the board and bring up some older topics.

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

Are you going to be all over, Lillith? I thought you said you would be on the hip strip too.

If you are going to be at Starfish then you definately have to go to Glistening Waters. It's right there.

Re: What brought you to Jamaica???

The first time I went was with a boyfriend and we stayed at the Wyndham Rose Hall in Montego Bay. We both fell in love with Jamaica and returned shortly afterwards staying at the same place. The 3rd time we stayed at the Starfish Hotel in Trewlawny. I later returned (single) and stayed at Hedonism 2. I plan on returning August 3rd-7th and plan on staying at a beach house in Negril. I'm sooooo excited about my next trip since it will be my first without non-inclusive accommodations. I love Jamaica and I'm emotionally tied to it. I can't explain it but I truly feel at home there.
