I was a bag lady all my life. As my mom use to say, "she has her bags packed, and ready to go. " I didn't understand that until this moment, if you stay ready, you don't have to get ready! 2024 is the prep for what's to come!!!

Why travel insurance is so important:

Subject: Travel Advisory: Change to Travel Advisory Level for Health and Crime (January 29, 2024)

Location: Throughout Jamaica



Event: The State Department has recently changed the Travel Advisory for Jamaica.



Reconsider travel to Jamaica due to crime and medical services. U.S. government personnel under Chief of Mission (COM) security responsibility are prohibited from traveling to many areas due to increased risk. Please read the entire Travel Advisory.



Country Summary: Violent crimes, such as home invasions, armed robberies, sexual assaults, and homicides, are common. Sexual assaults occur frequently, including at all-inclusive resorts.



Local police often do not respond effectively to serious criminal incidents. When arrests are made, cases are infrequently prosecuted to a conclusive sentence. Families of U.S. citizens killed in accidents or homicides frequently wait a year or more for final death certificates to be issued by Jamaican authorities. The homicide rate reported by the Government of Jamaica has for several years been among the highest in the Western Hemisphere. U.S. government personnel under COM security responsibility are prohibited from traveling to the areas listed below, from using public buses, and from driving outside of prescribed areas of Kingston at night.



Emergency services and hospital care vary throughout the island, and response times and quality of care may vary from U.S. standards. Public hospitals are under-resourced and cannot always provide high level or specialized care. Private hospitals require payment up front before admitting patients and may not have the ability to provide specialized care. Ambulance services are not always readily available, especially in rural areas, and are not always staffed by trained personnel.



We strongly encourage you to obtain traveler’s insurance, including medical evacuation insurance, before traveling to Jamaica. The Department of State does not pay medical bills.



Be aware that U.S. Medicare/Medicaid does not apply overseas. Most hospitals and doctors overseas do not accept U.S. health insurance. U.S. citizens with medical emergencies can face bills in the tens of thousands of dollars, with air ambulance service to the United States in the range of $30,000-50,000. Read the country information page for additional information on travel to Jamaica.



If you decide to travel to Jamaica:

· Do not attempt to bring fi****ms or ammunition. This includes stray rounds, shells or empty casings. The penalties for carrying fi****ms and/or ammunition, even inadvertently, are severe, and can include lengthy prison sentences.

· Avoid walking or driving at night.

· Avoid public buses.

· Avoid secluded places or situations.

· Do not physically resist any robbery attempt.

· Be aware of your surroundings and keep a low profile.

· Enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive Alerts and make it easier to locate you in an emergency.

· Follow the Department of State on Facebook and Twitter.

· Review the Country Security Report for Jamaica.

· Prepare a contingency plan for emergency situations. Review the Traveler’s Checklist.

· Visit the CDC page for the latest Travel Health Information related to your travel.

Violence and shootings occur regularly in many neighborhoods, communities, and parishes in Jamaica.

This woman could use some.prayers she is trying to get her roof repaired. She is 75 and works for (the wheelchair attendants). She is widowed from the "love of her life." He spirit was amazing, and to have had her both incoming and outgoing, we had such a great time. THANK you, Ms. FRANCIS HASTINGS FOR YOUR EXPECTIONAL SERVICE !!!!

I was unable to leave a public review on or the wheelchair service in . WE traveled to New Orleans last week for a family event and because of the difficulty of walking long distances I use the wheelchair service. Well I had the privilege of having Ms. Francis Hastings both in and outbound at the airport. Y'all this ladies spirit was so amazing, she is 75 years old. Her story was amazing and she had more pep in hwr step than some of these kids. She had returned to work just because like most of us covid had us down and depressed and she loved people. Please pray for her she is working to get her roof repaired. She is a widowed feomt he "love of her life".

So if you are in New Orleans airport and run across her show her some ❤️

I prefer paying for Global Entry, but if you don’t travel internationally more than 3 times a year this is amazing!!!
