For the most common expression heard among Jamaicans is: “Soon come, mon," which means, roughly, “I'll be there as soon as I can," and that could mean anywhere from five minutes to five hours, depending on a dozen factors. Some 90 miles off the south coast of Cuba, Jamaica covers 4,411 square miles of semi-flat to hilly to mountainous terrain. A nearly two million population inhabits this 50 by 150 mile tropical paradise. JAMAICA â€" Reggae is the rhythm, rum is the refreshment and relaxation is the reason. Discovered in 1494 by Christopher Columbus, Jamaica has crossed many hurdles in its development and final step to complete in- dependence on August 6, 1962. Recent political problems, which have been less public since December‘s election, did cause problems for the tourist industry, but visitors to the island will find that nothing hap- pening politically will keep them from enjoying a happy, fun-filled vacation. Add to that, lush vegetation, friendly people with a charming leave’itâ€"till-tomorrow outlook on life and you’ve got all the reason you need to take a vacation in Jamaica.

After all, you’re on holiday so what’s the hurry? And, when temperatures climb the scale to 80 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and 90 plus in summer, you won’t much feel like hurrying anyway. There's another thing visitors should be aware of if they intend to rent a car. Driving is on the left and roads are narrow; curvy and get hillier as you go inland. A gentle reminder to “remember to drive on the left” comes in the form of road signs spaced along all major routes‘ A shprt blast on the horn when snaking around some of the more pronounced curves on country roads, is a good rule of thumb.

Even statuettes called Shawabtys were there to serve the dead pharaoh in the after-life. Jamaica is an island which honestly and truly has something to offer everyone. Accommod- ation throughout runs the gamut from exclusive, luxury hotel resorts, which can cost $50 to $65 per day per person in winter, $30 to $40 in summer, to smaller, cozier guest houses and hotels. These can be as low as $11 per day per person in summer to twice that in winter. One very charming way of spending a vacation there, is to rent a small grass hut, some of which are available near the village of Negril, the western most point of the island. A l t h o u g h m 0 s t Egyptian sculpture of this period is highly stylized, there are some delightful small sculptures of Tutankhamen, as the teenager that he was, spearing fish and hunting with a bow. try to negotiate the roads at the same pace the Jamaicans do â€" they’re used to it.

Major events will in- clude performances in Usher Hall, a Fiddlers’ Rally and also a fiddlers’ concert with Scottish country dancing, choral and orchestral concert church choirs. The Clan Club in the handsome Assembly Rooms will be open every day for visitors to gather and meet friends. Daily admission is around $1.25 (based on the British pound at $1.70 Canadian), or $425 for the week. The castle and other important buildings will be floodlit every night. Just to roam the streets any hour of the day or evening will be exciting.
