Answer 1

Mix Master,let me ask you,are you  Ja'can with slovakian residence? Because i want to know which planet you're orbitting,secondly are you illegal in Jamaica? And how did you get to Jamaica in the first place,Because if get their by Aero Plane you would know that there are,Flights from Kingston & Montego Bay, three times a week to London Gatwick Airport,with B.A and Virgin Atlantic,these flights are direct to London,and the days these flight operate are on a Monady,Wednesdy and Friday.So you don't have to go to America.Once you arrive in London then it's easy to get to the rest of Europe.
