Once on a TDY to the US Consulate in Curaçao, I had a rental car and decided to drive around the island. The towns away from the tourist areas are ghettos and you don’t want to stop anywhere. Heard the same from people who went to Jamaica for work except it was more dangerous in Kingston, especially if you were with a co-worker on the trip who was a younger black female. No desire to “vacation” anywhere around the Caribbean. What the black Haitians did to the white French colonists in Haiti should always be kept in mind when visiting that region.
In Jamaica, the central mountain districts are called ‘Cockpit Country’ Basically a lawless area. Even native Jamaicans avoid the place................
I agree 1000%! Just nope.
My lovely auntie used to travel to that area, many moons ago. She said the Jamaicans hate Americans.
