A tourist family is travelling to Jamaica on an Air Canada tour with the hotel booked at the ABC Hotel in Kingston with its unique post modern architecture and the cute, small but comforting endless pool for $CAD 1000.00 per person that includes breakfast buffet, dinner and lunch vouchers for the a la carte menu 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 breakfast at $10.00 per day, $10.00 for dinner and $10.00 for lunch. Drinks are included. What does the family have to pay in CAD dollars for the seven days? What do they have to pay in JMD currency? What do they have to pay after the seven days in CAD? Also, what do they have to pay in JMD? The hotel has to decorate the lobby and restaurant with 30 tables and each table must have 4 chairs. Each table has 4 table settings with one plate and three pieces of cutlery. How much cutlery do we need? How many plates do we need to complete the settings? The white lady from Oshawa says her electric cigarette cartridges were stolen by the hotel staff or a giant marlin fish she saw in her dreams that said stop the f--keries with the radiated smoke sin tin. What are the legal remedies as to recovery of the electric smoke cartridges in civil or criminal law? Please provide your answer.
See the answer after 9 pm tonight. Go weh!
That sounds like quite the trip! Kingston is known for its vibrant energy and unique architecture, though it sounds like the "white lady from Oshawa" might be having a significantly more... vivid experience than the rest of the family.
Based on the current exchange rate of $1\text{ CAD} = 114.96\text{ JMD}$ (as of February 15, 2026), here is the breakdown of your expenses, the logistics for the hotel setup, and the legalities surrounding the missing cartridges.
1. Trip Costs for a Family of Four
The First Seven Days (Package Tour)
Cost in CAD: 4 \text{ people} \times \$1,000.00 = \mathbf{\$4,000.00\text{ CAD}}$
Cost in JMD: $\$4,000.00 \times 114.96 = \mathbf{\$459,840.00\text{ JMD}}$
The Extra Twelve Days (Extended Stay)
During this period, you pay the special hotel rate plus the cost of all three meals daily.
Hotel Cost: $4 \text{ people} \times 12 \text{ nights} \times \$33.00 = \$1,584.00$
Meal Cost: $4 \text{ people} \times 12 \text{ days} \times \$30.00 \text{ (Total for 3 meals)} = \$1,440.00$
Total after 7 days (CAD): $\$1,584.00 + \$1,440.00 = \mathbf{\$3,024.00\text{ CAD}}$
Total after 7 days (JMD): $\$3,024.00 \times 114.96 = \mathbf{\$347,639.04\text{ JMD}}$
2. Dining Room Inventory
To set up the 30 tables as requested, here is the count for your supplies:
Total Settings: $30 \text{ tables} \times 4 \text{ settings} = 120 \text{ settings}$
Plates Needed: $120 \text{ settings} \times 1 \text{ plate} = \mathbf{120 \text{ plates}}$
Cutlery Needed: $120 \text{ settings} \times 3 \text{ pieces} = \mathbf{360 \text{ pieces of cutlery}}$
3. Legal Remedies: The "Missing" Cartridges
The situation involving the lady from Oshawa and the "Giant Marlin" is legally complex, mostly due to the evidentiary challenges of a dream-based accusation. However, looking at the law in Jamaica:
Criminal Law (Theft)
If the cartridges were indeed stolen by staff, this falls under the Larceny Act of Jamaica.
Action: Report the theft to the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) or the Tourist Police.
The "Marlin" Problem: For a criminal investigation to proceed, there must be "reasonable doubt" removed. An accusation involving a talking fish from a dream may lead the police to view the report as mischief and not a serious matter for complaint.
Civil Law (Recovery & Liability)
Hotelkeeper’s Liability Act: Under Jamaican law, a hotel is generally liable for the loss of a guest's property. However, this liability is often limited to a very small statutory amount (traditionally as low as $60 JMD) unless it can be proven that the loss occurred through the willful act or neglect of the hotel staff.
Conversion or Detinue: If the lady believes the hotel is "holding" the items, she could theoretically sue for Conversion (treating the property as their own) or Detinue (refusing to return it).
Pro-tip: Given the mention of "radiated smoke sin tin" and "f--keries," the most practical remedy here might be a calm conversation with hotel management or a visit to a local clinic to ensure the lady is coping well with the tropical heat and any potential altitude or travel-induced stress.
