Chargers, Batteries & Re-Chargers

Have you ever walked by a marina and wondered who lives there? Maybe you can live aboard, even for a night or two. Image spending the night aboard a sailboat, houseboat, former tug boat or a private motor yacht. Whether you call them a “boatel”, “dockside accommodations”,” boat and bed”, “bed and breakfast afloat”, they all have the same thing in common – they offer tourists and business travellers the opportunity to experience life on the water’s edge, to be gentle rocked to sleep.

Several Travel Tips for Jamaica

After Sun Gel

Don’t forget your ‘After Sun’! Aloe Vera Gel works well in the tropics, it is non greasy and won’t block your pores allowing you skin the chance to breathe and cool down after a day out in the sun. We don’t have fresh Aloe Vera growing so bringing a gel will make up for this and you will find it is normally cheaper at home that in Jamaica.

 

Baby Wipes
