Trip Report - Saying Goodbye and Giving Thanks

After we share a lobster salad lunch at Catcha, we decide to take a walk down the road towards Canoe. We have a few stops we want to make. We start to realize how many great hurricane parties happened the night before as the trash cans are filled with empty JB bottles. Oh yeah.

First stop on the list is Eddies. It's time to say goodbye/until next time.

Second stop is Bentley's. I have a container of Old Bay for him, but we weren't able to make it his way for dinner this trip. Until next time.

Third stop is Canoe Bar. I'm loving the new set up. (Tis real nice, Clark!)

The rain comes and goes as the webcast goes on. I must say, it was the best chill evening to top off the trip. We have the funniest chat with Rob & Lisa & MrGlenzee & another lovely lady about tacos. It becomes an obsession of mine until I can get my hands on some the next night in the states.

At one point in the evening, I was sitting on the couch and +1 was sitting in a table across from me. He leans back and shows me something in his hand. He is pinching a small 1 inch strand of yellow hair. Yellow dog hair. My jaw drops. "Did you just pull that out of the fabric of your shirt?", i say. Yup. It's a yellow Sam dog hair. All the way from Colorado. In the Canoe bar. In Negril. Our final goodbye. +1 takes it out to the sea and lets it go. Not without completely soaking his shoes however. The surf is still really unpredictable.

We end up back at Catcha that night for a quiet dinner. Well, we were hoping for a quiet dinner but the wind was going nuts! Dare I say worse than the actual hurricane. The big round lights were swaying so ferociously, I thought I was in a club with strobe lights. We decide to carbo load for the marathon day we have ahead of us. All of our favorite dishes at Catcha. Pumpkin soup. Side of mashed potatoes. And seafood linguine to share. We couldn't even finish half. No kidding.

Ok I am laughing my butt off right now and at the same time drooling over the fact that you just mentioned like all of my favorite Catcha dishes in one day!
Yummmmmmmm

40 days!!!

Though I sincerely hope this is your one and only hurricane trip to Negril, if I find myself having my own hurricane party, I'd want you on the guest list. I like the way you roll. Those videos from the pub crawl give a perspective on the atmosphere.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum :p pumpkin soup

Slurp! I wonder if you could plug the drain in the moon shower and fill it with pumpkin soup? :p Ooops, I think I may have gone too far with that comment, LOL!

keep it coming - good stuff!

Then you really did eat all my favorites.....well done! Glad I could help :)

That last pic over at Canoe is quite awesome. The colors, clouds and wata - unforgetable.

Love that way you roll for sure, the windy video is great.

I agree with Bjritz, that last pic is really beautiful!
Loving all the pictures, videos and stories in this trip report. I feel like I'm right there with you guys!:D

Great report wpyogi!!! :) The domino playing night at Eddie's - perfect! Also love that you guys went on the bar crawl regardless of the storm!
"Death Ladder" makes me laugh, I fell down that sucker once - bat in the room - it's physically impossible to run down the ladder, lmao!
So glad the storm didn't hit hard, what an experience though!
Can't wait to see you guys in April!!!!
