If you snorkel, you will meet hundreds of very small - less than 1"x1" - jellyfish.

If you find starfish, leave them be, don't take them out of the water. You can bring home shells and dried starfish without a problem. Unless you've got crates of them and no import license.

If you base your trip around a single food item, in this case lobster, you will be sadly disappointed. These are spiny lobsters, not the sweet Maine lobsters you might be used to. There are no claws...

Yes. Most of the bars have coconuts and they will cut them open and either let you drink the water from it directly or mix you a drink inside it.

Hibiscus flowers. A bit smushed. The actual variety is called "Hedge Red".

First and last names must match. Middle names/initials are not required.

The width of the beach expands and contracts with the weather. Storms such as Sandy reduce the beach by almost a third. I have dozens of pictures from various months and years at CSA and the beach is...

Yes. There's no charge and the trip takes around 3 hours if they don't stop at the airport. Leave early in the morning and you'll be there for lunch.

Buy your tickets on American, not US Airways. Most of the schedule has been finalized. Flights from Miami to Montego Bay have not changed, just gotten much more expensive.

This is probably a case of "don't ask, don't tell." Just do it and say nothing else on this public forum about it.

You will get a US Customs and Immigration form on-board the return flight. Some airlines give them out in the boarding area, which is a great idea. The trinkets and artwork you buy is going to be...

There's good and bad to this, and having experienced both I can tell there's no perfect solution.

Years ago, I was in a situation where my days were spent on the beach, snorkeling, and exploring...

In more than two dozen trips to Jamaica, I have never been questioned carrying anything into the country. Coming home, the US Customs Agents can tell if you've bought it here or there. No worries....

No lobster until the fall. Season's over. But we were told that lobster would be available on any night they have a la carte dining. Patois still serves it.

Almost had the sun in the open. CSA April 2012.

Another one from the beach at CSA. October 2009.

Interesting without the clouds, powerful with them. This is after Sandy beat up the beach last October.

You don't have to register any more. There are enough drones flying overhead that the government knows exactly where you are at all times.

Yes. And Ricardo is still at CN.

Yes. The dress code for Lemongrass is much less stringent than Feathers. You might have a problem with the sandals, if they look like beach flip flops, but nice dress sandals won't be a problem.

Having just returned from CSA, I thought I'd share some of the changes I've noticed. My first trip to CSA was over 12 years ago and, having gone over 20, but less than 30 times (I've lost count),...

Having witnessed over a hundred weddings during the 12 years I've been going to CSA, I wasn't sure how I'd react to getting married there. In truth, it was Suzi's idea, one that I will forever be...

Diane - Thanks. We've got to have you guys over here one of these days for some of that award winning jerk!

Three great books for the beach from this link.
And if I'm there while you're reading them, I'll autograph them for you!

If you think you have too much money, find me and I'll bring it home for you. No problem, mon.
