What's the first thing you do??

Okay, I've got to ask this question! After arriving at the resort, what's usually the first thing you do? Do you head straight to the beach? The Bar? Take a nap? A Shower? Make Love? I'm just curious! lol This will be our first trip to Jamaica....we were thinking about dropping our bags and heading to the bar to try a Bob Marley shot...then again we might go in a different direction!!

Tornado Hit our house in Moore, OK on May 20th. CSA in 2 days. I need to destress bad and get away from all of this. It will be here when we get back???????????? I rode out the tornado in the hall closet with a motorcycle helment on, I am still am in shell shock. Waiting on the insurance company :(

Hi guys, I have booked for may 28th-June 4th. However, checking the weather forecast, it says it will rain entire week. considering that weather, is it still a good idea to come? I am so bummed I dont know what to do.

I know there is a no tipping policy at Couples, but I also know we'll need some cash to tip for other services along the way.

First, should I convert my American dollars or not?

Second, how much cash would you recommend bringing for 7 days? (I know this can vary from person to person)

To help with the 2nd question:
We're planning to stay on the resort our whole stay. I saw a recommendation to stop and get jerk chicken on the way in from the airport, which I definitely want to do. I would like to do the catamaran cruise if we can get a spot. The rest of the trip should be nothing but scuba and beach time. Oh...and we'll be staying at CSA.

Before you go SLAMMING ME remember that THIS IS JUST MY OPPNION... Im entitled to it just as you are to YOURS

Arrived at CTI On a saturday afternoon the 18th of may around 4:00 Room was not ready so we were told to go to the snack bar and come back in 20 min. (STRIKE ONE ) I asked where is the snack bar ? And was told go to the right and keep walking you cant miss it.... OK Walk around for a bit found snack bar and had a sandwich and took in the view VERY NICE and just relaxed for about 30 min then went back to the desk and stood around for a few min while the next batch of guests got their rooms then we were taken to ours by Byron I think? Nice guy one of the FEW friendly staff there mind you. went to the orentation at 5 with Miguel. Another nice guy very funny! Aside from that all in all it was not for me!!!! I was not impressed with EVERYONE wanting a hand out!!! To me all the other guests with the exception of a few were very stand off-ish. Staff was not very friendly Drinks were very VERY Weak and watered down Food was good Bay side the best The chef even came out before hand and spoke with us at length untill our food came. dunns river was a L O N G wait untill we had a big enough group to go up the falls Stood around for an hour just waiting. Went snorkeling twice it was cool the life vest were in VERY VERY bad shape as in falling apart and ripped to the point the inside material was coming out. Yeah that makes you feel safe!!! Again this is just MY OPPNION... MY Thoughts... MY EXPEREINCE... I guess I am just a good old American Lover. Having traveled the world with the U.S. ARMY I find the states as my cup of tea. My wife Loved it but again just not for me. To me it came off as a country that has alot of people mad because we go there to relax and vacation when they have it rough.

Anyone suggestions and/or pointers for bringing a good quality water camera? i.e. Kodak,....?:cool:
