We stopped in Kingston at a Burer King for lunch after leaving the airport. As we walked into the BK, one young person observed that it "smelled like America."
After waiting as 44 people went through the line, PT paid the bill - $16,000! (Of course, that's Jamaica dollars - which works a lot like monopoly money - or about $225 USD for lunch).
The drive to the hotel was scenic. Mostly a four-lane highway along the water before turning inland. Some students used this time to get in a power nap, others played cards and talked amongst themselves.
The hotel is nice. It's clean. And once the AC was turned on, the room started to cool. Should be pleasant enough by bedtime.
We held our first information meeting in the courtyard area. A neat, covered pavillion with a bar (don't worry - the kids ordered Jamaican Ginger Ales). We'll enjoy some free time before having dinner with the folks from The Rock of Maypen. We'll wrap up the night with some worship and prayer time and room devotions.
