Taking a little break from reality.

[Captain Kilowatt]

Like the title says. Decided to say to hell with the cold. It has been far to long since we have been away. Currently sitting by the pool in Ocho Rio's Jamaica. Got here about suppertime Monday. It's a bit cooler here today than yesterday. Barely making 81 degrees. Not sure we will survive.

Looks like rough duty, Captain. Hopefully your years of training will see you through this hardship.

Cap'n -

Luz and I will toast a rum and coke to you both tonight when we're enjoying the suana before returning to our reality.

That's the advisory for Americans. The one for Canadians might be different.

The advisory for Canadians is more in depth than the American one.

No difference now than in 2015 when we were first down. In fact we were here in 2018 during the state of emergency when the government had a major crack down on gang violence. Police and JDF troops everywhere. Tour busses were waved through checkpoints while local transit and private vehicles were stopped and searched or occupants screened.Tourists pretty much stand out and for the most part are left alone as long as you stay out certain areas but that is no different than any major city in Canada or the USA anyway. For the most part tourists would have no business going there anyway. Don't be an asshole and don't flash your bling or money and there is no problem mon. How is that any different that elsewhere? It isn't in all honesty. The Jamaicans know who brings the money into the country and are not about to cut off that cash cow.
