Guess I am the exception to the rule. Been 10 times and going back for our 11th in March. The people of Jamaica are wonderful...I would rather walk the streets there at night vs. going up the road 40 miles and walk around Durham, NC.
Yep, you’re the first!
I haven’t heard much about the crime, mostly how the country is trashed once you leave the resorts. Also have heard that the street vendors are aggressive in trying to sell you stuff, and not nice when you don’t buy.
I’ve never been. But, having spent a couple years in Eastern Europe, I have no desire to travel to many other places outside the U.S. Went to Mexico two years ago and it brought back bad memories. Those types of experiences make me less inclined to try places I’ve heard bad things about. I’d rather die touring the U.S.!
