Question: Should we postpone our trip to Sandals Whitehouse in Jamaica??

Question Description:
Our friends are stranded in Jamaica now b/c of the hurricane. We will be flying out on Monday August 27th. I'm wondering if there will be too much damage. Many people have also mentioned the general election on the 27th and sometimes there is violence during that time. Should we wait a few days? This is our honeymoon and I'd rather be safe than sorry...

Answer#1: yes I think you should, better to be on the safe side :)


Answer#2: It depends how much damage is done. Hopefully Jamaica will not be in too bad shape and the clean up will only last a few days. I read if the hurricane is really bad, they may postpone elections for 30 days. As far as the election goes, there has been some problems in the past, but if your paying all that money to stay at Sandals, you probably wont be leaving the resort much. The party colors are orange for PNP and green for JLP. Don't go around dressed from head to toe in either. I just got back and traveled around the entire island. There wasn't much tension but people were representing by wearing their party colors, having rallies and the traveling around in trucks with speakers blasting the parties agenda. You should be fine.


Answer#3: If I were in your position I would change my plans.


Answer#4: Agree on the being safe ... than sorry , Hurrican Dean is going towards that direction as of now ...dont recommend it to travel now to any of the islands of the Caribbean because of that.


Answer#5: The hurricane hasn't hit Jamaica yet. I would wait on making a decision until you know what damage has been done, it may be very minimal. I have a trip to St. Lucia on the 29th and unless the airport is still closed I intend to go. Most of the damage consisted of flooding and overturned trees, which will probably be cleared up by the time I leave.
