Jamaica dangerous (again) warns US

By Hipster Travel Guide Staff

This week, the US State Department issued a travel warning to Kingston, Jamaica, due to an ongoing operation to arrest a drug lord.

The criminal at large, who was last seen in Predator II, has caused several flights to be canceled and access to the airport has been blocked on an “intermittent basis by gun battles between criminal elements and police,” according to the State Department.

The travel warning expires June 23 — assuming the police get their man or just get tired fighting with him.

Here are a few numbers that could be helpful if you’re in the area, sitting under your desk, hoping the smell of cordite fades soon.
