The Experience

I’ll admit, I was a little nervous about landing in Montego Bay for the first time — airports always make me feel like I’ve forgotten something. But as soon as I walked out of arrivals, there was this guy holding my name on a sign, grinning like he’d been waiting just for me. He introduced himself as Andre, and honestly, it felt like someone flipping a switch from travel stress to “it’s all handled.” The air outside hit me — warm, thick with a hint of salt and diesel from the shuttles lined up. Not exactly poetic, but real.

We rolled my suitcase to his van (air conditioning already blasting — thank you) and he asked if I wanted music or quiet. I went for quiet at first, just watching palm trees blur past while Andre pointed out which hotels had the best jerk chicken stands nearby. The ride into town isn’t long — maybe 15 minutes? — but it’s enough to catch glimpses of street vendors setting up and kids weaving through traffic like they own the place. At one point we got stuck behind a goat crossing the road, which made Andre laugh and mutter something in patois I didn’t quite catch.

I noticed he kept checking his phone discreetly — turns out they track flights so even if you’re late (like my friend was), your driver’s still there. That calmed me down more than I expected. When we pulled up to my hotel, Andre helped with my bags and gave me a quick tip about where to get mango ice cream nearby (I still think about that). It wasn’t fancy or dramatic — just easy, honest, and kind of grounding after a flight. Sometimes that’s all you want when you land somewhere new.
