I hope most of you don't take offense to this, but as one who has traveled/lived/worked overseas quite a lot, i offer this word of caution to those who haven't traveled outside of the usa.
make sure you familiarize yourself with the countries customs and laws. the so called horror stories of there jails and court systems are usually true. and most don't tollerate drug dealers/users and they tend to be down right brutal compared our system of justice.
a passport is a must ! even if the country says americans don't need one , get it anyway !
also , get your imunization shots / supplies ahead of time. also , your body might react not so pleasent to the food. and i hope that the venue has a shit load of bottled water !
yeah i know , i 'm sounding like a "dad" , but i just don't like people to be uninformed, and have there holiday/vacation go from paradise to living hell. oh and 2 words: travelers checks ! not cash.
but from what it sounds like, it'll be a fucking blast! and if you go, make sure you get pictures !!!
oh and whatever you do , don't piss off the rastafarians . they aren't all like bob marley.
