Everybody is different, but I definately have heard of Jamaicans not liking Trini's because they are so much like us... They believe that they copied Jamaicans music, food and clothes.

This depends on where you are flying from in Texas (Most forget that Texas is a VERY large state), and how many stops. The closest point from Texas to Jamaica is 1,500 miles, the longest point is 2,100 miles. Direct raw flight times are: Air speed 550 MPH / distance = time

1500 / 550 = 2.72 hours

2100 / 550 = 3.81 hours

This is based on raw direct flight times, without any stops or diversions, and at average speeds for commercial airliners.

The way the crow flies or by aircraft directly from Miami to the Negril Aerodrome would be 550 nautical miles. However if your aircraft is US registered General Aviation you will have to skirt Cuba by way of Matthews Town Bahamas, Navassa Island and bank westwards over either Kingston (Tinson pen) or Port Antonio (Ken Jones). You must clear customs in either Montego Bay or Kingston and proceed to Negril. The same is also tru for US registered vessels with the caveat that your vessel must clear Jamaican customs in Port Antonio. This route from Miami adds 350 nautical miles to your trip. American commercial carriers have a third party arangement with Cuba and so may transit their airspace.
