We kindly and lovingly ask that you PLEASE DO NOT post any photos and/or videos (OF ANY KIND) related to the wedding on social media.

Please allow this professional to do his job. There will be plenty of time to take, pose for and be a part of many, many photos and/or videos. As important as it is to have you there to celebrate with us, it's equally important that we be the ones to post the first photo/video and anything else related to this wonderous celebration. Please respect our request to NOT POST ON ANY FORM OF SOCIAL MEDIA until otherwise confirmed. Please don't be THAT one.
Question
While in Jamaica, how will we all communicate with each other?
Answer
To avoid international fees on your phone, consider using the WhatsApp app (available via all "play stores"). This is a fun and free way to keep in touch while on the island.
Question
Do I need to exchange monies; from the US to the Jamaican dollar?
Answer
No! Because we'll be on an "all Inclusive" resort, most daily day needs will be taken care of. Should you want to make additional purchases, most major credit cards are accepted and the US dollar is widely accepted (and appreciated). If compelled to do so, small currency can be used for tipping.
Question
What Can I Do While At the Airport?
Answer
While waiting to be transported to the resort (or on the way home), feel free to visit the many tax/duty free shops at the airport. Along with various restaurants and shops, beautiful paintings, murals and other historic artifacts can also be enjoyed. Finally, consider enjoying some Jamaican flavor at Club MoBay; at either the beginning (or end) of your travels, it's always a great time! More information regarding Club MoBay can be found on our group travel page at https://www.ultratechtravel.com/lynette-harris---micheal-love-wedding.html
