Montego Bay or Kingston..havent decided yet.Both would be appreciated

I plan to stay a week..including lodging.

When i went, and stayed my first trip was in an AI, i spent around 900 US that included airfare and lodging in a resort, my subsequent trips give or take have been around the same anywhere between 800-1000 US, depending on how costly the flight is, now i dont do all inclusives anymore,because i want to see JA not just the hotel. That doesnt include spending money though.

I was going to say roughly $1,000. But, that all depends on where you stay and what you want to do.

Just don't do like I did on my first trip to Jamaica and blow all your cash the first day. And there I was sweating bullets wondering how I was going to come up with the exit fee at the airport (not knowing that it was already included in my airline ticket). It's a long story...

Beezer, you must have been @ Shades...lol...to spend all your money the first day...LOL

OOPs MY BAD, i meant Geezer( im trying to lay on my side and type)...lol

Lol, Lilrosey, what do you know about Shades, hmmmm????

Robogirl - it's really hard to give you a cost estimate - there are a lot of factors to consider -

1 - what area?
2 - What time of year?
3 - Do you want AI or non
4 - What is acceptable room conditions to you - (ex - clean with a bed and shower, need AC, on the beach, off the beach, ....)
5 - What type of food? You can get local food cheaply - tourist places are more expensive.

Montego Bay,Between June and July,Of course I'd want a clean room with AC and off the beach..I'd like to try what the locals eat of course

LOL>>>> RD... i have been told about shades by the locals, my BF says that it is pretty raunchy in there. I remember my very first trip to JA, one of the local was trying to get me to go to SHADES and party with him, and another guy overheard him and said you know shades is not a place for her to be going why you telling her to come there...LOL!!!

Robogirl, how bout you get online and book your flight, depending where you live, if your in Fl, you will get a good rate if your in the Midwest, be prepared to sell off a body part or a kidney for a plane ticket as far as hotels in Mobay, im not familiar, as all i have seen are the big AI's, now if you come to Ochi, there is the hotel Rooms on the BEach, which is alot cheaper than the AI's. Try looking on SkyAuctions.com for a cheap place to stay in MoBay. Hope this helps.

What's Shades?? Is it like Moods in Mobay?
