There was an article last month in Cosmo about how us women should prepare when travleling abroad. Some of the points were:
-Know the customs. Is it frowned upon for women there to wear short skirts, wear pants, jewelry? If so then one should respect this. (But this would be primarily in places like India etc.)
-Always stick togethor.
-Never make it obvious that you are a tourist. (But this may be kind of hard sometimes)
-Never take aboard suspicious packages that someone may have given you. (Aint nothing worse than to be held up in an oversees jail where the U.S Embassy keeps putting you on hold.
Now from what I've heard about Jamaica-avoid getting your hair braided down there (which is quite the "touristy" thing to do for most girls. They will charge you outrageous prices (Last I heard it was like $5 per braid) You're better off getting braids done here in the states if thats absoloutely what you want to do.
HAVE FUN! BRING BACK PICS!
