That was the end of phase one of the trip, otherwise known as the calm before the storm....

My beautiful wife, Janet, arrived late tues night, so wednesday was her first day...she wanted to take a beach walk to see some old friends..we walk the beach until it ended at the river by town and turned around...on the way back, we stopped by NBCC and visited Babalew, a long time boardie friend...

we made our way back to fun holiday, we had an A/I package which we found a deal for 12 dollars a person a day..less than 30 dollars for the both of us....couldnt pass it up...the 2nd member of our group, Vicki, also arrived that day...she was a newbie, first time out of the US....

pics of Janet and Vicki






we did a beach day, and fun holiday always has entertainment for the guests...tonight was a contest that Janet won...her prize was lap dances from 4 of the winning guests.... a very funny time...I got some videos ill put on facebook...

we went to listen to live music at roots bamboo this night....it was next door to fun holiday....we recruited several fun holiday guests to go with us...most had not left the property at night....Vicki's first night, so i walk her back to the room...we have a group of 10 or so partying with us at roots...then the power goes out...no music, no lights, no anything...lights out at fun holiday all up the beach...Janet is ready for bed so i walk her back to the room and grab some candles and flashlight...we party in the dark at roots with candles for light for a couple hours, as it is still early, guessing it is close to midnight.....it was a fun night, and another experience that happens only in negril...

one of the couples from fun holiday that experienced the outage with me..greg and nancy...it was their last day





Are we holding hands? Awwww how sweet...

It is Thursday, and the party is getting bigger...Boardies BillnDonna, some of our best friends, arrive...we have been to their house in NC probably 8 times, a couple times a year at least...several of our crew all arrive within the next few days....

beach walk for the new arrivals




we end up at a favorite place, Sunnyside

Janet and Bill



the beautiful Donna, aka Jaws, aka Momma J...


Vicki is the newbie...she stayed in our room at FH the first night, then moved to Rondel when BillnDonna arrived...we move tomorrow and by Sunday, we will have 7 rooms and 12 people gardenside at rondel...

We end up at Woodstock for live music on Thursday night...we are joined by several of our friends...the calm has been replaced by a constant party....This is OUR Negril...We do Playcations....






the last ones standing..Bill and Donna...Terry and Janet...Jeff and Amy







If you are ever looking for my friends Bill and Donna, if it is daylight, it is a good chance they are in the pool...but if it is after dark and you hear music, look for them dancing in the sand....they enjoy that more than anyone I know...one of the musicians from woodstock thursday night saw them walking down the sidewalk the next day..he pulled his car over, gave them a cd and thanks them for getting the crowd on the dance floor...errr, i mean sand...
