I usually make Sea Star while in town, my uh "friend" plays Sat nights so I try to make an effort to go..only problem I find is that unless you know what someone looks like you could be sitting right next to a boardie at the bar and never know, so a lot of times you are in the same place but never realize it!Quote:

Hey, gang! We will be there the 30th, too. You have to reserve for the Pub Crawl (we went last year and it was a hoot!) now? How? And what is the Thursday tour to Pelican bar? There are 2 other girls coming down when we're there - they aren't on the board, but we can fix that!
As for sitting beside each other and not knowing - how can we avoid this? Have Barbara or Sam put us all together at the Seastar? Or just ID us to each other? We're staying at the Seastar so we could be anchor there to make sure we meet up? Or do something stupid like wear a red scarf or stick a feather in our heads - Gerryg, you'd look adorable with a feather in your head - but I would know you! There has to be a way to make sure we don't miss each other at least, and maybe get a group shot! A mini boardie bash!
Open to any ideas because I don't want to leave without meeting all who are there! Gotta love boardies! If nothing else, I'll be the old lady with a rum punch in my hand!
Hmmm, well it looks like some will be there the 30th but a few others don't get there until a few days later which would put them at Seastar the next Saturday the 7th...I'm not sure the feather look would be a good one for me...maybe we could set a time to meet near where Rob does the cast??Quote:

I'll be at Seastar on July 7th. We can figure something out to recognize each other.
tfw - I would like to be there on the 7th but that's the day we arrive. Don't think we'll be going anywhere that night!
Cands, what time do y'all arrive?
We are supposed to arrive in Mobay at 12:40 ish on Saturday the 7th. By experience I know the immigration lines are gonna be crazy! We only had one year where we waited less than 5 minutes and that's when we arrived on a Thursday morning at 10:00 a.m.
I'm hoping to be at our resort by 2:30-3:00 (we take Timair there) maybe earlier if the lines aren't long at the airport.
Oh well...maybe it will work out! I'd love to see y'all there.
tfw - thankis for the headsup! Count us in!!! How do we book it?
So if our plane arrives at 2:50... what time can we expect to be in Negril?
I'd say 6 at the latest...and that is only if there is a line at customs...if it's during the week there might be a bit of rush hour traffic in Mobay. I got in at 830am last reach and managed to get to Negril, hit the ATM and Hi-Lo and make it to the hotel by 1130am.Quote:

I think I wouldn't expect to get to Negril too early, just in case. Better to have overestimated the time than underestimate. We're landing at 10:25 AM this time...I'm stoked!Quote:

No rush...it's going to be a longggggg day. I told mine about the tour and I wanted us to do it. He was like "ok" in that super excited voice he has! Last tour was such a bummer (due to the other folks on the tour), so I'm thinking this one would be awesome with other boardies going.
Talked to the mister last night, were now booked for Rocky Thursday for the 5th. I got the hubs to agree and it will be the only excursion we do, lol.Quote:

Were also going to do the Meet the People through the Jamaican tourist board, were they match us with a Jamaican family or couple and they show us around. Were really looking forward to that.
Okay... said it a second ago! I am so excited to be going, and I can't tell you guys how blessed I feel to be meeting people who have experienced this before and are going back because of the enjoyment & peace they feel when they are there! I promise no boring non-boardies here! I just hope I don't make a pure touristy fool out of myself! Not much longer guys! whoooo hooooooo ! Okay, I'm going to go pack now! :)
It wasn't being boring, it was because they were downright rude! Boring is no problem...I just don't want to be around anyone who is a jerk, lol. I love all the touristy things myself so that isn't an issue!
Just don't do the fanny pack thing and you should be fine. LOL.Quote:

I can't wait, either! I'm already seriously considering extending our trip LOL!
We are blessed with 15 days, thanks to my husbands amazing parents who would keep the baby all summer if we'd let them. I couldn't ask for more and know I'll be sad when we leave but ready to start planning the next trip. The husband wants to start thinking about a Europe trip, but said we can fit in another Negril jaunt before, lol. He has the bug though he won't admit it.
Have completed ALL my Negril shopping! Just need to pack!
I should have thought more carefully before buying the airplane tickets, lol. I have no idea how I would even extend the return flight...guess I'll have to do some research! lol
It'll be our turn soon! :)
Yes it will! :) 71 days for us, I believe!
71 days!
I checked and it would "only" be $450 to extend our return flight, lol. I'm seriously thinking about it...
As we say in our house when we want extra money... "We'll just have to work a little more!" The joke is, my husband already works 7 days a week, and I work two 12 hr night shifts (sometimes 3) a week... but we have three school age children at home & someone has to be here to take care of them! If only I could get one of my college boys to flunk out and move back home! haha j/k about that
LOL...I have the opportunity to teach summer school this June, so I'm hoping that extra money appears ;)
I'm thinking about booking the Sea Splash deal for 4 nights, 30 Jun-4 July, since I have somewhere else to be for the holiday weekend in South Florida....
It's such a great deal!!!
Just booked the SeaSplash deal!!! Tentative dates are 30 Jun-4 July, but I haven't booked my airfare yet!!!!
woooooohooooo!!!!!
