I'm visiting Jamaica in May, starting in Montego Bay and then spending a few days in Negril. From there I'd like to go to the Blue Mountains and fly out of Kingston. I know this is a lot of driving! But I'm up for it. Is there a bus, shuttle, tour, or any other cheap form of transportation from Negril to this part of the country? Do you have any recommendations for getting to Port Antonio, and then from Port Antonio to Kingston?

Thanks for any tips!

We will be spending 3 weeks at Jah B's Cottages, arriving Jan 25 2012, from Winnipeg (its freezing here!). We are early sixty-somethings anticipating a get-down local experience, but want to go prepared as much as we can. Does anyone have anything to suggest about (1) electrical adaptors for hairdryers (should I even bring one or is this a waste of time?) (2) any problem plugging in a cell phone? (3)is it better to buy bug lotion and laundry soap, etc. down there, or should we bring it with us? (concerned about travelling "heavy") (4) is Jah B's on the cliff? Hard to find a picture of it from a distance. Looks fabulous though...love the idea of the dogs living under the cottages! Thanks for any replies, One Love Mon...

Never been to Jamaica or Negril but it is next on the list. We are ready to stop going to the big AIs and try some of the local smaller places which will allow us to spread our wings a little. I often see reviews about hitting the night life and the local restaurants, taking a scooter up the hill, it is only a ten minute walk to the town or beach...etc. My question is- is all that really safe?? I also keep hearing..you should never leave the resort..that is why they have so many AIs. I prefer not to do the cab thing all the time and would like to do some biking if feasible. Can anyone tell me what really makes sense regarding getting around SAFELY as a couple day and night in the Negril area. If you want to also suggest any quaint romantic type accommodations that are clean and service oriented that would be fine as well. Thanks
