KWilliams, I really appreciate you letting us know first hand about your experience in Jamaica. It must have been horrifying for you and your family.

As you can see, there are many people on this board who were very interested in your post and took your information to heart. The fact that some people had a different opinion does not make your post less important.

We welcome all opinions on this board so that no one feels left out or marginalized.

Years ago, my inlaws had talked about renting a house on a large plot of land on Jamaica for the whole family to stay at. It was going to be very inexpensive, yet it came with a maid, a chef a chauffeur and a bodyguard. A Bodyguard!!!!!! If you left the property, the body guard would go with you. I've gone shopping in Israel and in Serbia and didn't need a bodyguard, so to need one to do that in Jamaica really bothers me. But this is strictly my opinion.

Everyone has their own priorities and everyone has to decide what is best for them and their families. I read all the opinions and then figure out whose comments fit me the best and go from there.

I hope this has not soured you on the rest of the Caribbean, which has some wonderful places with hardworking service-minded people.
