Awwwww newfiegirl, that is actually a pleasant thought. I love sea creatures. But no, this welcoming party originated from land.Quote:

Oh No He Didn’t!!!
My rage was immediately defused when I turned to see it was Mr. B wearing a devilish grin.
“You know you almost got cussed out, my friend.”
Standing almost shoulder deep, I can see through the crystal clear Caribbean water that this man takes good care of his body.
“Wha…I scare you? You think a shark swim pass?”
“You swim well. You’re the first driver I’ve known who actually swims.”
“Well I don’t fancy the ocean. I prefer the river. But yes me love to swim.”
“You came back.” I say with a smile.
“I take the people to the market, wait for dem them, then decide to come off the road after I let dem out. Too much police pon the road.”
“Is that your stuff on the lounger next to mine?”
“Yes.”
“I was about to go in and have a drink. Would you like one too?”
“Vi, we just got out here.”
“Huh? No, YOU just got out here…I got my swim on now I’m ready to get my drink on.”
I turn and walk towards the shore. Half way there, I feel him wrap his arms around my waist and pull me back. Bent at the waist, my arms and legs are stretched out as I was pulled back out into the ocean. He’s taller than me so I worried about being out too deep, but I couldn’t stop him even if it meant almost drowning or worse…getting my hair wet.
Didn’t care how silly I looked, I was enjoying the ride. It’s my last swim of this reach so I shouldn’t care. I was ready to have fun.
Still with my back facing him, he lifts me straight up by my waist. I come down and before my feet hit the ocean floor, he would hoist me up again. Each time on the way down, he would catch me at a lower spot along my sides…waist…hips…thighs…above the knee…shooting me higher in the air. I would descend slow enough to keep my balance and remain straight. My bathing suite skirt would flare up as if liquid wind gusts blew underneath me.
Weeeeeeeeeee! That’s right this grown woman squealed and giggled like a ten year old girl being pushed on a playground swing by an eleven year old boy. Higher! Higher!! Higher!!!
For a little while he was reliving his youth as a young Jamaican boy who spent countless hours in the water with his friends. He told me of their antics and the water games/competitions they invented. A couple we did, or tried to do. So much fun. More excitement I had in a long time. The best was when he locked his fingers together and instructed me step my right foot onto his hand so I could be boosted upwards like that. I told him he was insane.
On that note…out of breath, but still giggling, we trudge ashore for drinks and to chill.
What a lovely last swim, your words allowed me to envision the entire scene
Sounds like you had fun!!!;)
Sammy, not only the scene, I would re-live the entire DAY over again if I could.Quote:

Checked my phone. Wow 9 missed calls. Three from Drivah A “urgh”, Five from Portland “grrrrrr”. One from David “smile”
“Did you bring a towel?”
“No. Is alright. I drip dry natural.”
“What would you like to drink? My treat.” He requested a Red Stripe.

This day (my visit) is coming to a close and I’m feeling it. I don’t like this feeling. I gaze at the ocean while I wait and envy the people who are still in the water. They aren’t fretting about packing, check-out time or the inevitable search through dirty clothes by customs. I wanted to re-wind to yesterday and do last night over again but with a different someone and a different someplace. I wanted to drag Mr. B back out there, not to have him bounce me up and down, but to watch him swim. That was a beautiful scene.
I asked Chris for a shot of white rum along with the stripes.
I need a feel better thought and that would be food. I decided to have a special dinner tonight. Treat myself to that cruel seafood pasta at Ivan’s. That and a pint of rum would help…maybe. I paid Chris and slowly walked back to the lounger.
When I returned with the drinks, he was just pulling his jeans up over his hips. OhMy… talk about timing…what a vision I was treated to at that moment. His skin is flawless. Smooth and enticing like semi-sweet dark chocolate. Ocean water was still cascading from his hair, trailing his shoulders…his back…his chest…his navel…whew!! To continue describing his body from that point would change the rating of this report so I’ll stop there.
He caught me staring…drooling…wetting my lipssssss. I handed him the bottle. Too embarrassed to speak I just sat down…he did too…thank goodness!
He takes a sip, then another, paused then asked... “How was last night?”
BAM, I’m body-slammed back down to reality. “It was a complete nightmare.”
I told him how I was being kneaded, pressed and squeezed like play dough most of the night. That we didn’t party at all and how disappointed I still am for wasting my next to last night in Jamaica.
“That man was out of order.”
“I look at it this way…he was either my punishment for staying away from Negril for so long or my reason. I never had to deal with such nonsense in Portland.”
“In truth all I can say is not all Portland men are saints so not all Negril men are devils. I can only speak for myself when I tell you I will not disrespect you. I like your vibes and want to spend time with you. That is the only way you will know who I am…not according to where I live.”
“I’m not judging you.”
“Then yes???? You will go to the party at Bourbon with me tonight?”
I know you drink, do you dance?”
“Yes, I love to dance.”
“That’s it…yes, Bourbon Beach it is.”
I take a long last look at an evening beach sky, pack up my gear and get dropped off at the room to get ready for tonight.

Well I was hoping to read the rest of you adventure , but I leave in the morning for the beach, I will be thinking of you when im at my
favorite place, Alfreds, and I will scoping for Chris. lol...... Its been so much fun reading your amazing report, I will hope that someday we can
meet up in Negril, and find lots of trouble... I mean good times together, :):) Happy New Year to you.
I stumbled upon your trip report while looking for reviews from someone who has visited Negril in July. I usually come down in October or November but due to our traveling companions schedule, it will be July this reach. Your report alleviated my concerns about the timing. I loved your report. Your pictures took me right there. I can't wait! Thank you so much for sharing.
vi?
maybe she is in jamaica? working on the next trip report?
Vi
I love your report and your pictures!!! Makes me feel like I am vacationing with you!!!
Ms. Vi, hope you are well and things are good!
Good Lord, how did I miss these last posts? Glad you had a nice day with B, can't wait to hear about the night!
I finally logged back in to catch up on this report... soooooooo good. But damn, what a cliff hanger!
Vi,
I read your entire trip report on this snowy frigid day~it warmed my spirits and it read like a delightful well written book~which one anxiously awaits the turn of the next page. Then it's the anticipation of the next chapter now we are awaiting the next sequel to Vi's last night in Negril~ it was truly delightful to follow your journey~the written word and the photos! :o
vi, you still around?:confused:
Hi Vi
Just found this last trip report - gonna read it all :)
Wow, what a read! 5 days I've had this up on my second screen at work while I work on the first screen, sneaking a read every time there was a moment I could snatch away from work, brings back so so many memories! And so happy to be back on Negril.com! Must say over the years starting with Beinegees chat board, its been my go to place to check out the runnings in Negril before our yearly reach, then I got lazy? Kind of wasn't feeling the board thru its transitions, but with TA I felt I had lost touch with my roots? Dunno, but I did do a quick spot check thru the years and wandered back on the Negril Forum and saw Smith!! Excited to say the least, read his trip reports and as I will be in Portie, our fourth reach this year, splitting Portie and Negril, I decided to click the Portie Forum and I found Vi!! This "mostly lurker" was beyond excited! I remember reading posts back in the day about Bar-B-Barn, and saying to myself is this the poster who shared stories of her reaches with the kids? Or was that Seveen? Not sure, still don't know but I can't forget that vibe I got while reading those trip reports. Awesome!! Thanks for the ride Vi, thanks for all these rides, every reach!! I'm totally psyched and believe me I took notes of all the nooks and crannies you've found! I am up for Under di Rock and ShanShy Beach this reach, along with Chill Out Restaurant at Long Bay which I've not been to yet in Portie-way. 15 reaches to Negril, I still thought Jus Natural was only a breakfast spot, will def check em out for dinner and haffa try Swordfish Restaurant, new one for me! This is a lot of yapping for a mostly-lurker, wanted to shout you out Vi and let you know we're out there reading too! You are an inspiration to post more often, sand gravity really hits hard, what can I say? My intentions are good! Respect!
Sweet Vi, since you haven't finished with any details of your last day and night, ( I know, life gets busy,busy, I can only make up what a spectacular time you had in my head...
I was on the beach in April, I could of seen you and would of never known...... hopefully we will cross paths someday !!!!!
Hi Vi! Just want to thank you for pointing me in the direction for this report. Only on page 8 and I"m LOVING it! I"m hungry for info on Port Antonio and this is a feast! The question is do I savor it or enjoy it in one sitting.. :)
haha just realized it wasn't Vi's report I was looking for...but so glad I found it! Still didn't find Babalews... something else to look forward to!
Hi everyone...so sorry for the delay in finishing this report and responding to your wonderful comments. I promise to start posting again on Monday and hopefully rap the report up by Friday.
Can't wait!!
Is it Monday yet? :rolleyes:
Where r u vi?
she's probably on her next trip?
