What They Don't Tell You In The Brochure

Before we left for Jamaica our new, somewhat nervous, American friends were concerned.
"Jamaica's a very dangerous place. Don't go out of the hotel," warned one.
"You're going in hurricane season? Ooo, I wouldn't do that," said another.
This only encouraged us more. In most respects the Yanks are much more outgoing than us Brits, but they can be, and I mean this in the nicest possible way because way because we are coming home on Saturday, a bit neurotic.
We had no problem when we went out on a jeep safari on Monday. Sure there was a guard following us but it didn't worry us at all.
Similarly the weather. Sure we got the edge of Ike the other day, but what's a four hours of torrential rain when you're British?
However, just to prove I'm not so laid back I'm horizontal, I do have one moan. MOSQUITOS!
I know they're part of any vacation in a hot climate but per..leez. It's pointless working hard on our tans because by the time we leave we'll be completely smothered in red boils. At night we have to have the air conditioning down to -20 and the fan going. That's because the colder it is the less the bites itch. Unfortunately even this regime has limited success because you just wake up freezing and scratching every hour.
