I am an American moving to Jamaica in 2 months with my husband,who is a returning resident.?
What can I expect culturally? Any suggestions on good neighborhoods near Kingston to live? Is it worth shipping toiletries and necessities instead of buying them there? Do I need a round trip ticket in order to get through customs?

I can absolutely you that you will enjoy Jamaica. People are friendly and they laid back. Jamaica is known for its parties, beaches and food so you will enjoy that. Jamaica is expensive so If you have money living in the rural are a is good or living in St. Andrew is good also. Portmore area is not too bad either.
You can ship toiletries there but anything that is in America is in Jamaica. I am not sure about the customs part. If you apply for residency there through your husband I don't foresee a problem. All I can say you will enjoy it there, whenever I go home I have a great time hanging out with my friends and family.

ok, I completely sense you in this. it fairly is often at the back of my concepts. "ought to I flow to Jamaica?" I do quite lots as an investor and ought to absolutely do it yet there are continually those different issues to evaluate and Bob D lists them out like a blueprint, completely. I easily have those days started observing properties to purchase in south Florida. there are a number of forecloseures on respectable properties which would be offered particularly value effectively. So, my plan is to get some issues rolling down south so as that i may well be waiting to purely stay there every time i %. That way i will flow to Jamaica low priced. this is purely an hour flight from Miami to Montego Bay. possibly evaluate living in southern Florida for a jointly as by way of fact this is particularly a similar climate and there are tropical seashores and each thing this is in Jamaica, alongside with Jamaicans. as much as i like the rustic of JA, i will probable, easily on no account flow and stay there permanantly. If Jamaica replaced right into an excellent place to stay, then why are sooo many Jamaicans attempting to go away for the U. S., Canada and Europe (exceedingly the united kingdom)? Get financial company money and purely flow to all the time like me :)

I am not sure that your will enjoy living there... it is a third world country to what you have been living all along in your life. Things are very expensive..not sure but it could b like $80 Jamaican dollars to one US... Kingston is like a ghetto, think of the bronx and other places like there ..it is 100% worst. Jamaica has beautiful beaches but only around the tourist areas..not all over the island. Their language spoken is creole and English. they got slangs you will have to learn or else it will be hard to understand when communicating. their music as you may already know is reggae and dubb...
it has alot of poverty visible on the island. Crime is at itshighestt as with the second runner up island know as Trinidad and Tobago. Be verycare fulll while walking around andsocializingg with your american accent. It is an attraction for the robbers.
