They are making millions I was reading someone's 2 yr relationship they spent 3000 on digicuel I'm scared what mine will be
I remember that member. We are going to start using Lime I heard it is cheaper to call international with them.

I do not want to imagine what the cost associated with this process really amounts too. Cause each trip runs me anywhere between 1500-2000 depending on length of stay and activities that we do.

That includes, ticket, spending money, hair, nails, clothing, outings, making sure my bills are paid when I'm gone...lol! Though, my work gives me the time off half of the time it is unpaid. If I have not banked enough hours then I am going away spending money and none is coming in.

We usually do road trips...lol! St. Thomas mineral bath, Dunn's, Negril, going to Country to visit my fam, Emancipation Park, Devon House, Hope Zoo, The Great House...basically running up and down the island.

Honestly, how much money you bring is a personal decision. I never bring the same amount. Depending on what we plan to do and if I sent a barrel before changes the figure. You know better than anyone the type of lifestyle you guys enjoy such as...movies, dinner, partying...etc. There are times that I come back with money cause we decided to keep it low key and just "lock down".

My only advice just make sure you hide 200 or so away in the event there is an emergency such as you want to extend your ticket. lol!

Hush don't worry. When you go to Dunn's let your hubby pay for admission. There are different rates for locals and visitors. Locals pay 400 JDM and visitors $20 US.

The Zoo was $500 JDM each. Not sure if the renovations are finished yet. Devon House ice cream starts at 300 for single scoop and goes up from there. Don't worry too much. We have great men and they understand our pockets.

I find that gas takes up the most of our money. We cook together and usually just snack outside. Make sure you reach Hellshire and get a nice steam fish and get some oysters. I love them roasted with this magic sauce...ooohhh so good.

Hey Maddants!

I was just thinking...

Since hubby got a letter today and we both received email responses from KG around the same time, maybe there is a letter for you too informing you of your interview date! Did you check the post office today? Go tomorrow for sure, you never know.

Ok! So does lime have the international minutes or the rate per minute to call overseas is overall cheaper. We talk so much that once people see either me or him with the phone to our ears they just automatically say...tell your wife/husband I said "Hi" lol

Yes lime is a per minute rate that is cheaper....he just finds it harder to call people in JA that have digicel then it is expensive for him but international is cheaper.
