Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That doesn't sound crazy to me for US dollars, all-inclusive with spa credits. I spent something a little under that for Mexico all-inclusive, no spa, and the food was only ok. Maybe a third of that for a place in Jamaica where the food was just not good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't speak for time, but you can get a round trip ticket to Jamaica in the off season for $300 from a NY airport. You're lucky that way. I had a cousin who was always taking $750 extra-bargain long weekends from the DC area. Never been practical for me.

Yep. But TNT streams it, I think, a few nights later.

Ah, not soon. Can't speak for flight prices, then.

Couples in Ocho Rios. At the time, this was five years ago, they had a last-minute deal where you could stay at a resort of their choosing for something like $150 pp/night, and you could book it like six days in advance. Now that deal costs more than twice that: [link]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Y'all are acting as I Dollywood weren't a factor here. Dude. DOLLYWOOD.

Unsurprisingly, I've never stayed at Couples. I notice some incredibly low prices at Sandals, but I've not been to the cheaper locations. They're traditionally all-inclusive--but for $112?

The best eatings I've had was probably at FDR, which is a family resort I got insane low rates at--under $100 a night for some of the best service I've had anywhere at any price. Now $650 there gets you three bedrooms facing the ocean.
