A sneak peek into the boring a$$ vacation of Big 7 and Julie
I've never had the desire to do one of these, mostly because our trips are pretty dull by most standards and also because I suck at writing, but with Groove and Flip both doing one, I want to see if we all end up at the same places.
I'd like to start my first ever (and possibly only) trip report off with a bit of a....

Do you like reading reports about amazing places to go and see when you are in Jamaica? How about hearing stories of people eating fantastic meals in one of Negrils fancy restaurants? Or maybe reading about other folks that like to go out for crazy late-night debauchery is more to your liking? Well.....if that's the case.......you might want to skip this one.

However......if you can handle hearing about 2 people that really just go on vacation to RELAX and have fun, make a few new memories, and meet some very cool people that we now call friends........then stick around and we will see where this thing goes.
Now then, it seems to me that some people like to start out their first trip reports by telling you a little bit about themselves. (which is fine) I would just as soon avoid that this time and try to sprinkle some of that stuff in throughout the tale. Like this...
This trip started out like most others with the whole no sleep, way too long of a drive, stand around, sit around, and wait around thing. I know some people don't mind it, but I personally hate the whole airport/flying experience. Of course it doesn't help that I am a rather large man and I don't really do too well with the small seats, no legroom, huge crowds, germs, strangers being real close to me, babies crying, elevations above 20', etc. etc. You get the point.
After reading all the posts about Club MoBay I did a little research into it and decided it wasn't for us. We have had pretty good luck with the lines and such for the last several trips and this one was no different. We always try to come (and go) midweek and that seems to be doing the trick for us. We had about a 10 minute line at immigrations and the customs lines were even shorter. We did a quick price check of our favorite brands at the duty free shop for future reference and away we went.
Sweet!!! Looks like we are through in near record time again. Don't you just love that feeling when you walk through the double doors out into the pick-up area? The hotness and humidity that almost takes away your breath after sitting in the AC of the plane for however long. Believe me, after this last winter it was a welcome feeling to experience that heat once again!
So we find our driver and......he has a little surprise for us this trip.
