What’s the experience like?

“Don’t worry, you’re family now,” our driver grinned as he held up the sign with my name at Sangster International. I’d barely cleared customs before spotting him — honestly, it felt like a relief after the flight. The air outside was thick and warm, that kind of humid you can almost taste. He handed me cold bottled water right away (which I didn’t realize I’d need so badly until I took that first sip). There’s something about being met by someone who actually seems happy to see you — not just doing their job, you know?

The drive from the airport to our hotel in Montego Bay was smooth, windows up and AC humming quietly. Our guide pointed out little things along the way — where he gets his favorite patties, which beach is best if you want fewer crowds. He even taught us how to say “Wah gwaan?” properly (Li laughed when I tried; I probably butchered it). If your group’s big enough — six or more — they throw in a free city tour too. We didn’t expect that, but ended up wandering through markets and picking up jerk chicken for lunch. The smells alone are still stuck in my head.

I liked that there wasn’t any rush. No awkward waiting around at the airport desk (it’s number 11 in the main terminal if you’re wondering), just straight to the car and off we went. Even the little details — like making sure there was space for strollers or letting us bring along our friend’s service dog — made it feel easy. Sometimes travel days are chaos but this part… honestly, it just felt simple and kind of welcoming in a way I didn’t expect.
