What to Know About Jamaica
Hey and Happy Willpower Wednesday. Today we focus on wanderment. Here are some things to know about Jamaica. It offers stunning beaches, water falls. You can feast on jerk chicken and fresh mango if you're a foodie. If your more into adventure you can cliff jump or snorkel or even take a coffee and run tour. If you're like me and a fan of Bob Marley you can visit the Bob Marley museum.
Research, Research, Research...
Jamaica is one of the biggest islands in the Caribbean, which means there’s plenty to do during your vacation. Ahead of your trip, do some research to see which attractions you’d most like to see. This will help with planning your accommodation. Knowing where you’d like to go, and how far places are from the various resorts on the island will help you decide where to stay. Ideally, you’ll want to book a resort which allows easy access to these sites.
2. Pack Pens
Don’t depend on strangers at the airport to lend you pens; it is more practical to bring your own. Put at least two pens into your carry-on so you’re able to fill out customs and immigration forms and other documents quicker. The faster you fill these out, the sooner you’ll be out of the airport and on your way to kick off an amazing vacation in Jamaica.
3. Use their money
It’s a good idea to convert at least some of your money into local currency, as you may need smaller bills or coins if you’re souvenir shopping, for tipping, or other things that may come up.
4. Stick to mineral water
Is the water safe to drink in Jamaica? Mostly, tap water in Jamaica is safe to drink, but in more remote areas you may want to avoid drinking water straight out of the tap, unless it has been boiled, filtered or otherwise treated. To be on the safe side, it might be best to stick with mineral water
5. Learn some of the language
Jamaican patois is part of the national identity, and it would do you well to get used to how this sounds, and to some of the popular phrases you may hear while on island before you get there.
Let me know if you take a trip to Jamaica... See you next Wednesday!
