Proper nounJamaica From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License.

It is situated in the Caribbean Sea, about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 190 kilometres (120 mi) west of Hispaniola, the island harboring the nation-states Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Its indigenous Arawakan-speaking TaÃno inhabitants named the island Xaymaca, meaning the "Land of Wood and Water", or the "Land of Springs". Once a Spanish possession known as Santiago, in 1655 it became an English, and later a British colony, known as "Jamaica". It achieved full independence in 1962. With 2.8 million people, it is the third most populous anglophone country in the Americas, after the United States and Canada. It remains a Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II as Head of State. Kingston is the largest city in Jamaica and the country's capital. From Wikipedia under the

Q. I am taking the LIRR to Jamaica station, then was planning taking the E line to Lexington Ave. The other option is taking the LIRR to Penn and then the E line uptown to Lexington, but I'm thinking it may be faster or less expensive to go to Jamaica then take the subway. HELP!!! Asked by Dori S. - Fri Apr 11 16:20:08 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. if i were you i would take the LIRR into penn station and then transfer, it will save you lots of time and is only a few more dollars then the LIRR (i did a test on the LIRR website from Mastic and the difference was $2). Make sure you buy your ticket before you get on the train, online of at the ticket booth/machine, they charge more if you buy it once you get on!
