I know I don't post much anymore but I've been following your story from the beginning and just have to say I have tears in my eyes reading this. You've been blessed with an amazing gift you never imagined you would receive. Few of us are so lucky. You deserve every happiness and I'm so glad you have received this wonderful gift of family.
Thanks for sharing. What a great story.
WOW! Life is sweet! Happy belated anniversary!
too amazing and beautiful. This story of yours, and your brother's, and the family connection has just been such a heart/destiny/love story. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is a rare and wonderful thing.
A wonderful fairy tale and fantasy come true. Can't wait to read in more detail after you guys get home - a but what is home now - home away from home -either / or what a wonderful beautiful saga.
Clarity.. it looks as if you had a wonderfully romantic Anniversary and I'm so glad that you shared some of those details with us .. not to mention meeting your family up in Mandeville.. what a long and emotional journey it must have been .. and I am honored beyond words that you took me with you on your travels.. I am so incredibly happy for you that you were able to meet with your family, I'm sure your brother was right there with you on the top of those mountains in your celebrations. Doesn't it just feel like gods country up there. Congrats again Daisy!
Dyammmmmmmm!
Amaizing guys! This is fabulous
I woke up this morning and I couldn't figure out why the muscles in my stomach were so sore and my cheeks ached.
Then I realized it was from all the laughing!!
I laughed so hard on the chicken bus yesterday...so much smiling, happiness... It was one of the best days in my life. I felt like Markus and I were with family. The whole experience was incredible!!!! YS Falls, Pelican Bar, Pepper shrimp and soup in the middle quarters..
This is hands down the most incredible vacation I've ever had. I feel so blessed to be here right now with so many amazing, caring, funny and just awesome boardies.
I came into this with a lot of sadness from the loss of my bestfriend, Right now I feel at peace and happy. I haven't felt this good in a long time
I DID have a very dramatic run-in with a sea urchin at Pelican Bar...
Not so fun...
But Booger's Sandy swooped in to the rescue and Marley provided moral support and overproof shots to help ease the pain while the spines were removed.
Sweetness and Spottycatz - Don't you DARE post those pics lol
Will share more about that in our TR
We're here at Seasplash now
we love it here!
Pictures coming soon!
We're going on the pubcrawl in 10 minutes so I need to log off and get dressed
I just wanted to check in:)
love,
Daisy
Having fun following. Had a run in with a seaurchin a few years back. Returning to the scene of the crime tensing pen in 2 Weeks
I had a run-in with a sea urchin in Jam-took a couple weeks before that spine worked its way out of my foot..Ouch...
So glad you went on the tour-isnt it beautiful out there in that area??
I'm so happy for you and Markus...Glad you check-in..
I remember how I felt swimming in towards the shore @ Rhodes Hall while snorkeling. The water was shallow, the sea urchin spines look huge and there were so many. I think I can understand how you feel about Lion Fish 'cuz I be scared of sea urchins. :) Glad you were able to handle the experience with a little liquid anaesthesia - I think I would need more than that!
P.S. Have you tasted Lionfish this trip? I did and it was delicious. I encouraged everyone I know who fishes to catch as many as possible!
I'm sitting here on our balcony here at Catcha falling star listening to the reggae music drifting over from Ivans Bar and the sound of dishes in the kitchen area. The lights are twinkling and the stars are bright overhead. I'm so happy, every cell in my body is happy. I haven't been THIS happy in a long time.
This is entire trip is so magical, I can't believe it's coming to an end, but I'm so grateful to have had this experience.
I'm sorry I haven't been checking in every day, I thought I would have all this free time to post updates with pictures while I was here, but as soon as "Marley's list" started arriving in Jamaica, it's just been so wild... there hasn't been a single minute that hasn't been filled with non-stop activity.
The one love bus crawl was a blast! Afterwards, we went to Bentleys with a big group and had the most incredible meal!!
Thank you Gerryg123 for arranging such a fun-filled dinner for all of us to enjoy! "FIVE MEALS ON ONE PLATE! FIVE!" Bentley's had us cracking up. So glad we were able to experience his cooking! Afterwards, we hit Peewee's bar and Peewee's son performed a live show for us!
The next day we relaxed on the beach at Seasplash (Lots of love going out to Boombastic!) The canoe webcast where I had lionfish for the first time! delicious! A new favorite! You're so right, Sweetsue! I'm addicted now! I got to hug greenie again and hear him play on the steel drums. So wonderful to see him!! Afterwards we went back to Catcha and then Eddie's DeBar
Friday we checked out of Seasplash and head over to the boardie bash - It was wonderful to finally put faces to all the names! Saw Bella Bea again - She's looking beautiful as always! met so many people for the first time!
And I ate more lionfish... :)
Just Natural for some juices, then back to Catcha...
We released chinese wishing lanterns into the sky and partied into the night. It was pure magic...
Then we had say goodbye to Tizzy, Booger and Sandie. This was so hard and the tears began flowing... I miss you guys so much already!
I don't know how I'll even begin to describe this week in our trip report... there is so much that words can't capture... but I'll do my best when we get back to the states to fully share this experience with you all w/ pictures! We have 3,500 pictures in our laptop from this trip already!
Today was our last full day at Catcha, tomorrow we move over to Banana shout. Spent the day just relaxing w/ Marley, Ninja, Giurigay, Sweetiepie and Brasi. Sweetness is here too...
I don't want to say Goodbye tonight, we've all become like family. I need to hold it together. No more tears. I can do this.
I have to log off now and get dressed. Time to eat Dinner in 10 minutes and head over to Tawnee's birthday bash at Seastar.
Pictures coming soon! Just wanted to check in.
:) .... that's all i got! i can't wait for this experience.
Last night was so hard to say goodbye..... Honestly I teared up and had to leave before it started flowing. Such great people with so much character. Clarity, it was a pleasure to hang with u and your honey. By the way, Marcus is pure comedy. Soon come.Quote:
