Share your story of extending a Negril trip on impulse!

On one trip I made it to the airport and decided I wasn't ready to leave. I knew my flight was sold out so I assumed they would be looking for folks to be bumped. I volunteered at the check-in counter and lucky enough they were looking for people. I told them they could have my seat if they put me on a flight 2 days later. It must have been my lucky day as they gave it to me. I spent the next day and the following day chilling at an all inclusive.

I volunteer on every return flight and so far was only offered one more time but my travel mate didn't want to.

I think i'd have to chunk deuces at the travel mate....as in Peace out. LOL

I have extended a few times at the last minute (it is always so hard to come back). One time I was on antibiotics that were prescribed to me in JA and gave American Airlines a note from the doctor--I could have flown, sure--but there were documented "complications" I was having with the meds which granted me a few more days till travel and free ticket change. Other time I paid 125 to change flights and stay 3 more days--totally worth it IMO. But I did gain a bit of a reputation at work and brows furrowed when I said I was going to Jamaica (yet again)--coworkers wondered when and if I would come back.

I went to Negril one time and stayed for 13 years...but that's another story......

Captain, I was looking for the "like" button for your post. (I guess I get confused sometimes between facebook and here). I would love to hear that story sometime.

One time I arrived home and decided I needed to go back, a week later I was in Negril.

Enjoy,

Happy, me & Bad just saw this one. We both melted and smiled to each other and said "remember those days?". Right now me and Bad are crushing some Stripes and deep conversation about that trip, not only the earache excuse but the 1st night we all met each other. We closed down the Escape concert (in stylish fashion i might add) and then mi-yard. My friend hope all is well, and we miss you. Myself and Bad are both re-living our adventures and hope that our paths can cross again. Somehow they will!:)

Well, I was already living in Kingston and was taken over to the West by one of my crew in 1969

My third trip was really an impulse. It was November 2007 and I found out that through the courts system most of the money that was stolen from me ended up getting paid back in a lump sum..turned out there was a large amount of cash on the guy when he was arrested, and I got a share of that, so used it to take a trip back to Negril, staying at a nice likkle place called Right Vibes. It was really such a blessing to me to be able to go back and use the money that I would have spent on my July trip (was robbed a day before that trip) for my November trip. :)

And this year, I was just going to do "only" two weeks, but once I got my half of some lottery winnings, took that money and decided to extend it by another week, making this coming stay 21 days...after last year's stay of 26 days, nothing else would suffice, lol! :D
