Erenia I leave July 18-28. And don't worry, I will provide full coverage on everything I do in Kingston! I'm really looking forward to it!

Yes me too! I am so jealous! I hope that you will have a great time as always!

So you booked at the Sandhurst for Jul 21 / 22 / 23, right? That's where we're dropping you off?

Yep. Why?? Would you like to drop me somewhere else??

lol... on your ass of course.

But no, I was just perusing a map and thinking about our route. We can cut nicely across the top of the city and avoid, um areas where a car-load of light-skinned foreigners don't need to drive, lol. Then I nip down to papine, and up the mountain. Shout take about 2 hours I figure (Ochi to Barbican).

What??? We're not black??

Okay sounds good. 2 hours sounds about right. I went from Kgn airport to Ochi once and it was about 2 hours. And thank you in advance for the ride.

lol... np. Thank me when we get there in one piece.

OH great. Now you tell me!

I'm just kidding... it'll be a blast. I can't wait.

If I stayed in a hotel in Kingston (an old friend from NY lives there so I always stay with her), I'd stay at the Spanish Court, no question.

$165 a night but has "weekend discounts".

I've been to the Mayfair, to the bar - spent a few afternoon/evening hours of election day '08 there with friends, and loved the4 grounds and the bar. I hear the rooms are kind of dated. And it's not on a main road, not sure how easy it is to get around without a car.
