A tourist family is travelling to Jamaica on an American Airlines tour with the hotel booked at the LHG Star Fish Hotel in Harbor View with its unique Caymans Bay Centre Type architecture and the all day ackee and bacon buffet with dumplings and Callaloo for $CAD 995.00 per person that includes the buffet with the flights included for seven days. They choose to stay over by an extra 12 days and the hotel has a special rate of $33.00 per night per person with a 10 day minimum on that rate, During the extra 12 days, each guest in the family of four must also pay for their drinks at $4.00 per glass or mug. The cab ride is $20.00 every 3rd day during their extended 12 day stay to the beach and markets. What does the family have to pay in CAD dollars for the seven days? What is the sales tax on 13%? What do they have to pay in JMD currency without the sales tax and with sales tax? What do they have to pay after the seven days in CAD? What is he sales Tax in CAD? Also, what do they have to pay in JMD? What is the sales Tax in JMD? The hotel has to decorate the lobby and restaurant with 24 tables and each table must have 5 chairs. Each table has 6 table settings with one plate and three pieces of cutlery, one mug and one glass. How much cutlery do we need? How many plates do we need to complete the settings? The Pocahontas Jamaica lady from Evanston Illinois says her man friend "did her something" with his big bamboo but he was at the bar all night thinking about how to explain what happened to him at the beach when he went in to the water with his car keys and wallet that sank to the bottom and a turtle crunched them in his beak to carry it to the colonel fisher man who watched people swim all day while he fished. The bamboo was a dolphin carving he bought for his mother so she could decorate her house in Illinois and it was in the hotel gift shop for pick up where they sell Nestle Crunch chocolates and Tiger Colas. The was no bamboo in the room. Is there any evidence of an assault? What would we have to prove and is consent relevant here between dating or married individuals? Explain. What should the hotel staff or the police do with her complaint if there is no evidence of any contact at the time she made the allegation? The colonel reported to the police the wallet and keys as recovered by the turtle. What should the police and hotel staff do when notified? Please provide your answer.
This sounds like a vacation with a lot of moving parts—both in terms of the budget and the drama! Using the exchange rate of 1 CAD = 114.01 JMD (as of February 19, 2026), here is the breakdown of your expenses, inventory, and the legal situation.

IV. Legal Analysis: The "Big Bamboo" Allegation
1. Evidence of Assault?
Based on the facts provided, there is no evidence of an assault.
The "Weapon": The "big bamboo" was actually a dolphin carving located in the hotel gift shop, not in the room where an incident could have occurred.
Alibi: The man has a verified alibi; he was at the bar and the beach all night, corroborated by the Colonel fisherman who saw him while the man's property was being "processed" by a turtle.
2. Proof and Consent
To prove an assault, the prosecution must show intentional, non-consensual physical contact or the threat of it.
Proof: We would need physical evidence or credible testimony of contact. Since the "bamboo" was a gift-wrapped carving in a shop, the physical evidence contradicts the claim.
Consent: Consent is always relevant, regardless of whether a couple is dating or married. Marriage is not a "blanket consent." However, consent is only a legal defense if contact actually occurred. If there was no contact, the issue of consent never even enters the room.
3. Police and Hotel Response
Hotel Staff: They should remain professional and document the complaint but should not take disciplinary action against the man without evidence. Since the "bamboo" is actually a carving in their own gift shop, they should provide this context to the police immediately.
Police: Upon being notified by the Colonel about the recovered wallet and keys, the police have a verified timeline of the man’s location. They should interview the woman to see if she is experiencing a mental health crisis or a misunderstanding, but given the lack of evidence and the solid alibi, the case should be closed as unfounded.
