this probably won't be of interest to most folks, but there may be a few who are curious about this...
this was my husband's 4th trip to jamaica. on our honeymoon we spent 4 days at strawberry hill and 10 days at xtabi. the other 3 trips were in negril with ti boss. husband wasn't crazy about negril, because the jamaicans there were kinda rude about him being haitian. he kept getting asked if he was a drug dealer and other dumb stuff. this didn't happen in irish town at strawberry hill, where he felt way more comfortable and like he was in a familiar environment.
the other night, after we'd been back about a week, i asked him if people in port antonio asked him if he was a drug dealer or other dumb stuff like that. he told me, "no. people there were much more..." he hesitated, trying to think of the correct adjective. "... civilized," we both said at the exact same time.
and he said he liked kingston, because he enjoyed talking with returning jamaicans at the hotel (which is always one of my favorite parts of my visits).
"you know, we had a really good trip."
