Helpful hints for Jamaica travel When purchasing Rum or Coffee, buy them at the local grocery store. It's much cheaper. ATMs are available, but you'll receive Jamaican dollars. US dollars are accepted.  You don't have to exchange your money. Do expect to see poverty. Don't go anywhere by yourself - always travel with others Electrical system 110 volts/50 cycles is standard - you should bring an adaptor Summer months and part of fall are know to be the hurricane season Passport is required Bring plenty of film - it can be expensive in the Caribbean They say the water is safe to drink, but I usually buy bottled water. Currency is Jamaican dollars I loved Jamaica, the people are so unbelievable friendly, and courteous. I would highly recommend doing only an ALL - Inclusive in Jamaica....Sandals and Beaches are the favorites. Though I loved all of the island, Negril was my favorite. Helpful hints for the Cook islands April to Nov - dry season Dec to March - wet season The Cook Islands use the New Zealand Dollar Most travel around the island is by scooter - you must get a Cook Islands' driver license - you also have to take a practical driving test - this takes about 5 minutes, and costs about $10.00 per person.

The Cook Islands are a place to go where you can just relax and do absolutely nothing, or you can golf, fish, explore. It's not an island for people who want and need to do a lot of things or want the night life or excitement of a bigger island in the South Pacific. The Cooks are laid back, calm, and peaceful islands. Aside from the Jamaicans, the Cook Islanders are the friendliest people I have ever met. Be prepared to wave at everyone when on your scooter. There are a few thing you have to do when traveling to the Cook Islands - 1. You must stay on both Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands - split your vacation time between the two. 2. Go on Pa's mountain walk - he is a local man who has several walking tours of the island 3. Rent either a car or a scooter and tour the island.
