~~ Sweetness Trip Report *NEW* - Last Night

...it was awesome to see the staff relaxed and enjoying themselves - they made me feel like family and provided me with exceptional service. Yetta, her husband and their friends came out on their scooters and it warmed my heart. Yetta you are such a bright light - thank you for coming and making my last night not sting so much (lol). My new friend Sharon (mentor, author, entrepreneur, philantropist, sister) came out and it was a gift to be in her presence a second time on my trip. Here is a quote of hers from her new book now available on amazon.com (lets support Jamaican authors).

"With every breath you take, vision a planet, a new world, where peace and love is the currency of exchange."– Sharon Parris-Chambers

Sweet Maxx from Easy Rock Internet Cafe made it out and seemed to enjoy the fish very much. Maxx is a great guy and I love Easy Rock. My sister needed my signature on a document for my father's estate and it was a breeze to stop there print it, sign it, scan it and email it back. Cheap and easy with Maxx's help. Bless you always my friend.

Hettie (heather) and Chad my new boardie friends came out and brought some delicious cabbage salad with a yummy scotch bonnet vinegarette -mmmm. They are a great couple and I enjoyed getting to know them.

Great moment when a couple came walking up I didnot recognize. I greeted them and they said they just checked in and were from Turkey. They were gorgeous, tired and starving from their long day of travel. Well it was a pleasure to invite them over for a feast and rum punch as their first JA experience. Good music, waves softly crashing, smells and laughter - they must have thanked me a hundred times and enjoyed themselves which of course made be so happy.

Family came out later and helped clean up. Exhausted but heart full - finally fell off for my last sleep of the visit. Slept so hard (lol).

...next up last morning and ride to Sangster that we all hate.

The party was FABULOUS! Chad and I could not stop talking about it for days and you can see the huge smile on my face in that last photo. The food was so delicious and we were so excited to try lionfish, which is incredible. Thank you sooooooo much Sweetness for hosting such a lovely dinner and gathering of nice people. It was so great to meet you and I can't wait to see you again! Seriously, that banana bread really should be illegal. Oh, and the pineapple cake...and the pasta salad...and the cheesy biscuits...

Sweetness, Im so sorry this has to end~ It was so nice meeting you on my last trip in and you are everybit of your name, One by one i read as each boardie has to go home, just like me..and as long as you were all there it was like I still was ...It was a pleasure sister and I hope to run into you again at our most favorite place in the world ,
Beautiful pictures and stories I loved them all..:)

Cool Runnings, Marko

lol Marko - I know it is super bad for the reef/environment so we all felt we were doing our part for ecology (lol).
It is very mild and delicious. I still prefer Snappa, Parrot or Jack but it was good.

Miss you Marko - wishing you big JOY for 2012!

Thx Patty - the feeling is mutual - you and your hubby are super GOOD people - good as GOLD. Likkle more......

Brasi - thx and fullJOY your upcoming reach. then its your turn to share your adventures. bless

Sorry I couldn't make it but sometimes things work out for good reason!

LIONFISH is good, lots of flesh, tasty. The fisherman will cut off the spines for ya.

Sweetness,
I've really enjoyed your reports.
They're filled with poignancy and pathos that reminds one that someday the bus to Sangster is coming for us all.
