JAMAICA CONFUSION...

[SANTBARI]

SOO.... THE REASON WHY I ORIGINALLY WAS WONDERING HOW FAR OCHO RIOS IS TO KINGSTON, IS BECAUSE BOB MARLEY AND HIS SONGS ALWAYS TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT TRENCHTOWN, WHICH IS A NEIGHBORHOOD OF KINGSTON. I MUST HAVE ASSUMED THAT'S WHERE THE WHOLE BOB MARLEY MEMORIAL WAS, AND WHERE HE WAS BORN AND LAID TO REST.

WRONG!!!

ANY SUGGEST A GOOD "BOB MARLEY TOUR" ????

IF I GOT A PRIVATE LOCAL TO TAKE ME, DO THEY PROVIDE THE CARS? IS IT A GUARANTEE THAT I'LL ACTUALLY MAKE IT THERE?


THESE ARE THE REALISTIC FACTS: WE WILL BE 2 WHITE, AMERICAN 22 YEAR OLD GIRLS ON THIS TRIP. ALSO, THIS WILL BE OUR 1ST TRIP TO JAMAICA... THIS IS WHY I WOULD KINDA FEEL THE REASSURANCE AND RELIEF OF GOING ON A BUS TOUR.

SUGGESTIONS?

IF ANYTHING, IF I EVER GO BACK TO JAMAICA WITH SOME MALES, OR A BIGGER GROUP, THEN I GUESS WE COULD RISK BEING WHISKED AWAY IN SOME LOCALS RANDOM CAR TO GO SEE NINE MILES.

I DON'T KNOW, SOMETHING IS TELLING ME TRUST MY GUT AND GO WITH THE GROUP TOUR, AT LEAST FOR THE 1ST TIME.

i agree trenchtown, jungle etc are not really places you go unless you are with someone from those areas, i have been to trench town to go to Kingston Public hospital, which looks like a prison with barb wire all around the top of the stone walls, and nothing but funeral homes on either side of the small streets going to it.

I always loved Bob marley..... I still love his voice.... One of my best singer ever.
