  34. Howdy: The impressions I've gotten from speaking to people who have
  35. travelled to both destinations seem to bear out your impressions as
  36. well. I am flying in to Montego Bay on 3.18, and plan to head to Ocho
  37. Rios. I have no reservations for accomodations yet, but plan to make
  38. them ASAP with the idea of staying as inexpensively as possible. 
  39.     I may be able to provide more info soon on whattodo.--
