Each trip has been different IG. I have not always stayed in Negril alone. When in Negril, I now mostly prefer to simply chill and relax....last trip having only ventured off my spot on the beach to a local bar or restaurant except for one day spent up at Pirate's cave before they closed. I typically spent my last full day at Pirate's cave each reach.
I have also been to mandeville, little ochie,YS, Appleton, stayed in the hills of Montego Bay, vistited friends in Hanover up towards orange hill, black river, roaring river, nine mile, little bay and adrive through treasure beach. I prefer the beach over the cliffs.
I enjoy speaking with the locals, more outside of Negril than in and can tell you I have never experienced any of the judgmental attitudes from them as I have from the likes of Americans as here and at the other board which have become problematic since the electin cycle began. So much for freedom of association.
In closing, I would like to chill here. Perhaps you and others can give me that chance. However, I expect that the incessant instigations shall not cease at least so long as the elections continue. I would simply add to this that when one is attacked continuously, everything appears to be an attack be it so or not. Gets to be like a "shoked money experiment". On the flip side, as I pointed out in this post, the reverse holds true where people begin to think that everything I put out is an attack as well. In recognition of these facts, I think your advice is good advice and I shall endeavor to keep it in mind and put it to practice.
