The Experience

We’d barely made it past the airport doors in Montego Bay when I spotted my name on a little sign — handwritten, not printed, which felt oddly reassuring. The air outside was thick and warm, like someone had left the oven open. Our driver, Andre, grinned and waved us over. He asked if we wanted to grab a cold drink before heading out (I did — ginger beer, sharp and sweet). There’s something about that first moment in Jamaica that makes you slow down a bit, even if you’re tired from the flight.

The drive to Negril isn’t short — maybe an hour and a half? But honestly, it didn’t feel long. Andre kept up this gentle commentary as we passed through little towns: who used to live there, why the breadfruit trees look the way they do after a storm. He pointed out a jerk chicken stand he said was “dangerous for vegetarians” (he laughed at his own joke). The van was cool inside, which I appreciated more than I expected after that first wave of humidity. No waiting around for other people or stopping at every hotel along the way — just us and the road west.

I liked that Andre didn’t rush. When traffic slowed near Lucea, he told us stories about his school days there — something about sneaking mangoes from his neighbor’s yard. The windows were clean enough to see all the colors outside: bright laundry flapping on lines, kids waving as we passed. I didn’t expect to feel so relaxed on an airport transfer; usually I’m just counting minutes until check-in. This felt different somehow.

By the time we pulled into our Negril hotel driveway, I’d already forgotten how tired I was. Andre gave us tips for places to eat (“try the fish at Cosmo’s if you get a chance”) and set up our return pickup without any fuss. It’s funny — I still think about that ginger beer sometimes when I hear reggae back home.
