Have your passport ready to go and prepared if something goes wrong.

Your passport needs to be current and valid six months prior to the expiration date. Make a copy of your passport in case it gets lost. This will help you get a replacement easier with a copy ready in hand. Carry it with you. Print out the address and phone number of the American Embassy. Be sure to carry this information with you at all times along with your passport copy.

Hit the ATM for some cash before you go.

In Jamaica, they do accept U.S. dollars in certain areas. However, if you are going to a more local area away from all the touristy things it would be best to exchange some money and have it handy. Some places won’t accept credit cards so it will be easier to pay everything with cash and it will help you avoid extra banking fees.
