But thanks for the feedback Guyingb and thanks for reading. And that goes for all of the lurkers too!
BF - I've been coming here for many years and the natural foliage never ceases to amaze me - glad to hear you appreciate it too.Quote:

Last night we trekked up to the Swordfish Bar for our nightly toast. The bar up top is one of my favorites – the view over Long Bay looking north with the hills beyond the morass is spectacular and there is always a fresh breeze blowing in off the water. At the time we were there we had the place to ourselves, it was nice. Looking down, the water was clear and we saw long, silvery flying-fish jumping out of the water and gliding for 20 feet or so. I had a Red Stripe, Bea had a rum-n’-raisin ice cream., because she's running on Saturday.

Luna, our ‘guard’ dog, sprained her left hind leg while she was running on the beach. Over-exuberance, apparently. So she had a visit at the vet and now she sports a tensor bandage that is covered with a thick wrapping of white cloth medical tape. This bandage has seriously curtailed her activities. Normally she’s taken down the beach every day for a run and a swim. But the vet has put her on a no-activity restraining order for 10 days. And she’s not happy about it.
She’s only two years old and has a lot of pent-up energy. Since getting her bandage her barking efforts at the gate have greatly increased. Truth be told, some of the kids that pass by on the road tease Luna.
Last night Luna hobbled into our apartment, found a cool spot on the living room floor and flopped down. She crashed out for an hour, her legs jerking spasmodically as she dreamed doggy dreams of running on the beach and chasing the feral cats that live in our yard.
Poor Luna.

Walking around Negril you wouldn’t know that Christmas is just around the corner. Very few signs of the shopping/eating/drinking season are visible here. Except when we walked into the Hi Lo this morning we were accosted by Celine Dion singing some schmaltzy Christmas standard over the PA. I almost gagged, I did, actually.
Celine Dion? Really?! Jamaicans have good taste in music. How about Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton singing Christmas tunes? That would be just fine.
Yah, Mon - Gizzadas!

Bea is running in the Reggae Marathon 10K event tomorrow. Her run starts at 5:00am. That’s not a typo. This means she will be getting up at 3:00am Saturday morning – which means ‘guess who else’ will be getting up at 3:00am? I’ll walk her down the roundabout so she can pick up the shuttle to Long Bay Park at 4:00am, then it will be straight back to bed for me. The Beach Road will be closed from 4:00am until around noon, I think.
Tonight we go up to Couples Swept Away for the pre-race pasta party. Should be good. It will probably be an early night tonight.
Observation:
It is my observation that the ‘No Smoking’ thing has had absolutely no affect in Negril. All the bars we go into, even though there are ‘No Smoking’ signs posted, people still smoke as per before. It probably has had an impact in offices and the like. But not the places we frequent.
I don't know what exactly happens in this bar, but I'm gonna find out.
Attachment 31822
Glad you're still reporting.
Though I understand about not reporting.
I tried taking notes last trip (explicitly for my post trip - trip report).
As the Negril groove grabbed me even note taking fell by the wayside.
I relied on my camera (the sequence of pix) to get my trip report straight.
Without that photo record the trip would have been a blur when the time came to write the report.
Anyway as long as you're going to write I'm going to be reading.
As the Dude said to the Stranger, " I dig your style man . . ."
Several years ago, I-too was surprised to learn/discover how-much CelineDion's music is loved in Jamaica. Even the pickneys knew the lyrics to her songs.
i'm reminded, that sometime(?) over the past year or so, she was-scheduled-to and/or had a concert in Jamaica. The Gleanor/Observer media-hype & on-island interest was tremendous. It was as if a major head of state, the Pope, or TheQueen was coming.
another VERY popular-artist is Babyface ---- i *think* it's the infectious rhythm/beat that's ever-present in his songs.
Also there's a strong affinity for Chicago-style '..Steppin..' music.
and a *certain* type of gospel-music, too ---- i'm still analyzing to determine the trend and/or preferred commonality of their gospel preference(s).
Ditto..!!..Quote:

Hello K3 :
I am glad you have a good time ! Thank you for making my Luna a world famous dog, she deserves it so much. Also, speaking about nature and unusual things : ask Desmond to walk with you and show you a Pimento tree [as the Island in the Sun is the only place in the World blessed with Pimento] and extraordinary house of his brother - built high on a single rock. You will think you are in a Disney movie...
[QUOTE=yetta;115251]That's ok, even on family vacations...there are times that the moment is just fun! Too many folks are really quick "to jump to judge" as Tarrus Riley says.

I agree with all of this....i kept great notes my 1st 2 trips, but on my last 2, after the 1st couple of days, my notes were just a couple sentences here or there, so i depended on my pics to tell the story as well....and laying it out in a trip report really takes me back for about an hour each session....Quote:

Last night we made our way up to the Couples Swept sports complex away for the pre-race pasta party. There were a LOT of people there. The pasta was good, even though it was a bit of a feeding-frenzy. You don’t want to get between a runner and a pot of pasta the night before a marathon.
This morning I was up and about at 3:15am so that I could see Bea off to the roundabout for her shuttle to the Reggae Marathon venue at Long Bay Beach Park. Luckily, the owner of the condo we are staying at offered me her car so that we wouldn’t have to walk the road in the dark and late/early at night. I have to admit I was a little concerned about that too, so her offer was immediately and gratefully accepted.
I stood out in the yard and waited as Bea pinned her number on her jersey. It was still full-on dark. I expected early morning tranquility but was amazed at the noise level. I could hear music booming from a couple of sources - the beach I think, and the occasional ‘Braaap!’ of a motorcycle off in the distance. But mostly it was the dogs. There must be 1,000 dogs in Redground and it seemed the majority of them were out barking and howling to each other at 3:15am.
Approaching the roundabout we saw that it was all decked out in Christmas finery. The trees, all wrapped in little lights, were gaily lit. When I dropped Bea off there was already a gaggle of runners there waiting for the first shuttle. They were being watched over by a half dozen of Negril’s finest, smartly attired in their crisp uniforms. Am I the only one who thinks getting up at 3:00am to go running is a bit odd? I drove back to the condo and went straight back to bed.
Anyhow – I slept for about 3 hours. Bea got back at around 9:00. She had a good run and won a medal. It says ‘Finisher’ on it. All runners crossing the finishing line received a medal and a jelly coconut for electrolyte replenishment. Coconut water is supped to be the best for that. She said she bumped into PGW milling around the recovery area. He was drinking a Red Stripe. Red Stripe was a sponsor so the beer was free to runners. Next time she saw PGW he had a Red Stripe Raspberry. He’s probably still up there, getting his money’s worth – you go, Dave.
There’s some kind of motorcycle race going on today on Hermitage Road. No . . . wait . . . Oh . . . that’s just the regular traffic.

Good stuff! Please keep it coming! Did PGW run or just crash the finish area?? Maybe pulled a Rosie Ruiz??? :)
das a small Jackfruit and still challenging for 2 ppl to eat..! Luckily, if pegged ,the fruit can be frozen to be devoured later

Btw, Gizzarda is apparently a pastry of Portuguese origin.Jcans 'borrow/share" foods from all ova di werl.
Loving this report
Oh so glad Bea had a good run. I was watching the CoCo camera. It was pitch black when they started that race. The medals are really nice. I was looking for PGW on the video but couldn't spot him. Figures he would be sucking up the Red Stripe instead of coconut water. lol

Just for the record, it was nice to spend some time with Bea in the finish area, it was Lime Redstripe Light, and I believe Bea also had 2 with a little beer presure from me! lol
Anyway was a fun time. Oh and I had just had a morning visit at my villa from JT.
Looks like we will be having a few drinks again today, since it is my last full day in Negril. :(
Enjoy your last day PGW. I will take up where you left off ;-)
It’s a quiet day today, Sunday. Fewer motorcycles on the road, no kids for Lina to bark at. Sipping my tea on the patio this morning I heard Bluegrass music sifting up through the tree below. Later, the pealing of church bells.
Last night we had a major emergency in the apartment. I was lounging on the bed, quietly reading my Kindle, when I heard Bea yelp in the other room. She came running in and grabbed the broom from the closet.
“There’s a HUGE cockroach that just flew into the living room!” she said. Her eyes were wide and the tendons in her neck were standing out. “Will you get it?” she asked, offering me the broom. “Save me?” she added.
I was comfortable on the bed, and Jack Reacher was just about to kill yet another bad guy in the book I was reading, so I said, “Nah, just leave it, it’ll be okay.” She went into the kitchen and whacked a few times and screeched once. She came back into the bedroom and said, “It flew under the dishwasher.”
“We don’t have a dishwasher,” I said.
“You know, the fridge! Will you save me?”
Having been through bug episodes before, I didn’t think there would be a problem. “I’ll get it in the morning, “I said. “Just close the bedroom door – we’ll be safe.”
This morning I found the monstrous bug hanging on a curtain. I picked it up with a handbill and put it outside. Here’s a photo of it.
This monster is a little over one inch long. Pretty scary, eh?

I’m beginning to feel like a resident of our neighbourhood. Walking down to the traffic circle late yesterday afternoon, I saw a woman walking with a box balanced on her head and another woman trying to coax a recalcitrant goat along the road. Her little boy, about six years old, was behind the goat, keeping his distance, clapping his hands and stamping his feet. The goat was dug in, not going anywhere. As I walked past another home I heard religious music drifting out the open door, a woman was singing along. People say ‘Hi’ to us, there’re friendly up here. One guy asks me if I want opium every time I pass, which is neighbourly.
I went down to Sunnyside for sunset and met up with Tizzy, Booger, Pooper, PGW and JT. JT is a ‘lurker’ friend of mine from ‘Bullocks Shrunken, Winter-Hell’, Canada. We had a few beers and watched the sun go down. It ducked behind a big cloud at the last minute, but we were rewarded with a beautiful silver lining. We took some pictures. It was the first time I’d met Booger, Tizzy and RVT Pooper – good, fun people.
BTW, PGW did actually run the 10K and he got a respectable time too. He hung around the recovery area for a while. Apparently he was quite dehydrated after the run because he told me he drank seven Red Stripes. “Hey, they were free!”
Walking back through our ‘hood’ on returning from our excursion this morning, we were ambushed by two little boys who jumped out from behind a gate, pointed pop bottles at us, then mowed us down, imitation the sounds of a machine gun. I raised my finger and pointed it at them and did my best Bounty Killer impersonation, “BULLET! – BULLET!” One each. They feigned serious injury, laughed and retreated back into their yard.
Today I got a 1,000mg pack of vitamin C in my advent calendar (??) Yesterday I got a ‘stretching catapult chicken (???)

SO enjoying your reports!! Thanks for taking time to post for those of us stuck at home in the snow.. 9 more days and counting. Love that last photo...especially the "take away" part. Gotta love Jamaica!
at least it wasn't a cock roach. looks like a grasshopper
loving the pictures,and, reports. I can not say I appreciate a good custard apple. just not there. yet.
Thank you for your reports and pictures, sounds like you are having an awesome time!
Was a long last full afternoon, in Negril, a few rain showers and ducking under shelter with JT, at some point we end up at Canoe where <<<<<<<JT bought a tshirt, as we went to Pushcart for dinner, and I would guess he is the first person to go have dinner at Pushcart bare foot! lmao
Thanks for reporting in. Must have been fun to meet the party crew at Sunnyside. Looking forward to your next posting
Thank you Yetta and all who have given positive vibes. I'm happy to be sharing with you. There is so much to report and I forget half the things I would like to write. I'm just doing this 'on the fly'.Quote:

Last night we decided to stay home for the evening, so we sat out on the patio and watched the sky darken as the sun went down. Just before setting it looked like it snuck below the clouds (it was cloudy and rainy yesterday afternoon) and lit the beach up. We can’t see the actual sunset from our place. The tree frogs started up their nightly chorus (it seems to me that the Redground frogs are more full-throated than their beach brethren) and the bats had started their orbits around the almond tree.
From our vantage point it was compelling; the whole beach was bathed in a bright orange glow from the slanting rays of the sun, with the darker clouds above. It was interesting to see all the flashes popping off up and down the beach as people took photos against the setting sun. It was easy for me to imagine their situation, since I was doing the same thing right there in front of Sunnyside exactly 24 hours prior.
You know how there is a continual parade of people selling stuff on the beach during the day. Well, up here in Redground we also have vendors that regularly pass by on Hermitage Road selling their wares. There is an Ice Cream Man who comes by each day around noon-ish. We can hear him coming from far down the hill. He pushes a bicycle with a cooler mounted on it and toots his little bicycle horn as he goes. Talk about a Pavlovian reaction; at the first far-off toot, Bea announces, “The ice cream guy is coming!” As if I didn’t hear him. Then she speculates as to the flavours he may be toting. “I wonder if he has rum and raison?”
Another guy, also pushing a bike, calls out that he has “Box drinks! Pattiies! Coco bread!” Yesterday I heard a fellow walking by announcing that he had ‘Kingfish!’ ‘Kingfish!’
I think there are more women driving scooters around Negril. I see them regularly scooting around the roads here, not a lot of them, but maybe four or five a day. I talked to a Rasta dude who was riding a bicycle about this. He agreed and informed me that the women only drive scooters because the scooter has an automatic transmission. He said the standard transmission was too difficult for women to master.
Friday morning we were sitting in town, having a coffee and watching the word walk by when a young woman pulled up in front of us and yanked her scooter up onto its stand. She was wearing a very nice short dress, her long hair was done in a spectacular cascade of tight braids and she was all made up. Obviously she was headed for work. She grabbed a pastry inside the shop, then got back on her scooter and zoomed off.
Except the occasional, older tourist, nobody wears a motorcycle helmet here. So the women riders don’t have to worry about helmet-hair.

" The tree frogs started up their nightly chorus (it seems to me that the Redground frogs are more full-throated than their beach brethren) and the bats had started their orbits around the almond tree."
True Dat!!! I always feel the the West End tree frogs really let their symphony flow at night. One of my favorite sounds in the world!
If I converted that correctly, that's about US$4.85 per US gallon for Regular Unleaded.

OK – so today I do a likkle rant.
Like I said previously, we are planning on staying in Negril for 97 days. We knew of the 90 day visa limit, so before leaving home I called the Jamaican High Commission in Ottawa and asked if I could drop by and have them issue us 97 day visas – they advertise visas as one of the services they provide. The guy on the phone told me to hold, then after a short muffled conversation he came back on the line and said, “No,” but we could get it done upon entry at the airport in MoBay. No problem.
When we arrived at the airport, we asked the woman at Immigration for 97 day visas. She said “No,” but we could get it done at the Negril Police Station. No problem. She checked this with the guy at the next counter and he nodded confirming it for her.
A few days ago we bumped into a couple of Canucks at the Quality Traders (lime green) grocery store. We started talking. They’re farmers from Saskatchewan and they stay for the whole winter, so I asked them how they handle the 90 day visa thing. Turns out you have to go to MoBay, within one week of your 90 day visa expiry, and visit some guv’mint orifice there. There you fill out a form (no doubt the same info as the form you fill out on the airplane) and then you have to write a paragraph on why you should be allowed to stay on in Jamaica. No kidding, a likkle writing assignment – which actually could be fun. Then you fork over $10,000 each in fees. Yes, that’s a cool $100 US dollars - each.
So, to sum up;
- a return cab ride to MoBay, say $100 US,
- fill out some forms and do an English assignment at a guv’ment orifice,
- fork over $100US each visa fee
- and waste the better part of a day going to and returning from MoBay.
All of this for the privilege of spending more time and $$ on the island.
For us that means $300US and one lost day for 7 extra days?! Nah, doesn’t figure.
We changed our return dates to March 1 – exactly 90 days. And West Jet gave $128 credit when the change was made. That must have been a computer glitch, but I’ll take it.
Why does the Jam Guv’mint make it so difficult to stay longer than 90 days and charge so much for extending the visa? Revenue I figure. And I guess they don’t really care that much about long-stay people. They should. I’ll leave Jamaica on March 1 with about $1,000US in my jeans that I would have spent on hotel, food, booze and entertainment. Add that to the $300 we would have spent on the visa trip and the $128 WJ refund, and the numbers speak for themselves.
But it’s not about the $$, it’s about my utter disdain of guv’mint bureaucracy, wherever it may be. We have a corrupt provincial government in Ontario that wastes 10’s of billions of tax dollars every year – so it’s a sore point with me and I set off easy. But I’m done now.
Last night we went to Patrice’s bar on the West End Road, on the sea side just before Swordfish. There is a grouping of three little bars there – we are gonna check them all out. We met a couple of cats there – we love cats. After Patrice’s we went to a local Redground bar – Frankie’s I think. It’s a really basic kind of place, but the people there were very friendly and we had a good time. There was domino playing going on which apparently can go on until dawn.

Kahuna....the immigration/visa extension has been the same for quite a few years and addressed here on Negril.com quite frequently.
They will stamp you for 90 days maximum at the airport...then as you found out you have to go to Montego Bay or Kingston Immigration for any amount of days over the initial 90 day stamped period. You're allowed a maximum of approx. 6 months per year if you don't have permanent residency, citizenship or a work permit.
Note...for anyone else that plans on doing this...you will also need to take proof of your return ticket, along with filling out a form & your 10,000j processing fee.
As far as the Jamaican Gov't making it difficult for us to stay in Jamaica for extended periods...I guess it isn't much different than Canada or the US making it difficult for Jamaicans etc to stay on an extended visit...:)
Enjoying your report...see you around!
