Yes- the tourists all had pro's on their tail with a kind of leash, I think. I would have to renew my passport first. Have been to Jamaica- in the 70's- and those calm bays of aqua turn pretty nasty purple/ green a few miles off shore. My first sea-sickness- a horrid condition! Mother told me they had to tie my father down on a North Atlantic crossing to Europe in the mid 1930's he was so terrified the ocean liner would sink. Still hard to believe that anything in the world would scare my father.
