Get in line (re not being able to afford the stuff). I do intend to find and bring back a djembe drum in Ocho Rios while we're there. You can get them here in the states, but they're expensive and you can't test them for good tone if you order off the Internet. I'm thinking they're much cheaper in Jamaica, especially at the "off-the-beaten-path" places I'll be exploring during our port call.
I look forward to checking our real Jamaican jerk pork as well - Jamaica is home to a good deal of Scotch Bonnet pepper, just a hair or two cooler than habanero. And, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if I managed to consume a real Cuban cigar or two during our visit ;)
And I have special instructions to buy some Jamaica Island Lyme men's cologne for the guys in my family. It's distributed by a firm in Montego Bay and you can find it in a number of shops in downtown Ocho Rios.
"Jamaica Island Lyme" is the brand name. Be careful not to get confused with other brands with names close to this one. This is the one and only. It's marvelous stuff without that asthma-attack-inducing odor associated with a lot of men's toiletries.
The cologne comes in a great bottle suitable for an impressive gift. The green liquid shows of course, and a south-seas-looking net covers the bottle. The aroma is fantastic but subtle and masculine. My two grown nephews rave about it and will crucify me if I don't bring some home for them.
Jamica Lyme, a little dab'll do ya
Jamaica Lyme, you'll love it on your skin
Jamaica Lyme, the gals will pursue ya
Just dab a little on your chin!
How am I doin', mon?
