..., sometimes a tourist economy is a curse as well as well as a blessing. Perhaps if more Jamaicans were involved in ownership and management. It's too easy for Americans to armchair pontificate.

All my experience in Jamaica started with a cruise ship, but what we did once we got there had little to do with cruise ship tourism. I tried not to be an "American" tourist. We got to see things tourists didn't get to see and we got to talk with a lot rural residents.

We got of the pavement as much as we could. It was amazing to see the entrepreneurial spirit of people who weren't looking for tourists or a gang to join. How much they wanted their children educated and safe.

We took chances. And we had no bad experiences. They say angels watch over fools and children.
