How was the chicken?
Mr. Poolguywindsor
I'm really enjoying your report. Gave me a couple of needed chuckles today. I have a question and forgive me if it's a dumb one but is that cake like special brownies??
I knew I shoulda booked that trip...See you guys soon..I hope..lol
Yeah, Musicdoc you would have fit right in with our crew! Although I am not a special cake guy, I think Jamaicans might call it weedcake?

sUNSET AT 3 DIVES the end of the day in Negril, but the beginning of the night!
I barely remember even being at 3 dives.
OK if that's not bad enough, where did we go after 3 Dives?
This is making my wait even harder! Love the pictures!

Not sure where that first picture is from, but apparently we ended up at Spyda,s bar? I guess it was time to harass Anita?
This was also the night we lost the boys, they walked all the way to Canoe, but got there after we had left, so they looked for a while then walked all the way back, some good exercise for 17 year olds!
Hey Flip do you have any more details, that's the end of the pictures from this night?
Now I see the first one is 3 Dives, we musta been paying our bills.
Awww Anita is a sweetheart
I love listening to y'all try and figure out what happened lol
That's what I was thinking Tiz. Wonder who will remember what next?

So some how we made it to the next day! Bright sunny skies, beach with warm waters, Oh and bacon and eggs!
I kept track as the food buying guy, ii breakfasts, 22 packages of Grace bacon, 88 eggs and loaves and loaves of bread!
Yeah we did jungle til about 3am or something in between. Memory of this is hazy. Some other tourist from an AI and I were ripping shots. Last I remember.
I bet those boys can eat, if they are anything like my boys when they were teens. They could eat a pound of bacon at one meal if I let them
Loving the pics. The beach looks beautiful
They walked to Bourbon Beach for lunch every day except one, the day we went to Blue hole and Little Bay. We did have patty,s and coco bread from Outatown bakery that day though.
Ok Poolguy,time to step it up a bit,we are getting bored here in NC and we have 3 months before we start our trail of bottle caps and rum shots!!

OK so we are up to the day of "Shadow" Starts off as a normal beach crawl day!
It started with Maureen giving one of them looks, You know, "really you brought Shadow here",lmao
I think I had the same look, been here done this before!
Uncle Johnny remembers Shadow from way back in the early 90,s and for some reason always starts with buying him a beer, but never ends there?
Any way we hung at Sunnyside for a few, off down the beach we go!

So I ask the boys if they have ever been to Arthurs, and they have not so , its a piece of Negril history everyone should stop at. It is the original beach bar, and according to a beat up old photo that survived hurricanes and storms, its a photo of the "first tourist to visit Negril signed by the women in 1950 something, anyway its always a fun place to stop.
As we are making our way down the beach I am giving uncle Johnny a hard time about the Shadow, thing, he says "I told you I was only buying him one beer and that would be it! I say " but you bought him two!" Uncle Johnny says "yeah but he is gone now!"
I say turn around, as Shadow literally was his shadow!
Anyway trust me Shadow was right there with us, and was ready to party on!
Anyway the bartender asks "you ready for another round?"
Well Shadow is behind us at the bar yelling and banging the bar "REDSTRIPE"
Uncle Johnny is oblivious to this whole thing?
Anyway ask Flip we
laughed about this several times for the rest of the trip!
So we head out after a couple Shadow right there with us and poor old Uncle Johnny had to set Shadow straight that we are moving on without him.

A stop at Yellowbird!
I missed most of it but caught the end, lol
Absolutely nothing better than a fresh patty from the "Patty Man"!! Sweet video...thanks for the reports. :)
Ah Shadow. Remember him well. Used to be a fixture at 23-7 and was a major pain even then. Word was that his family once owned beachfront property and he was allowed to live on the land and always claimed he had some `ownership`, but boy did he wear out his welcome fast.
arthurs is a legend...and true you love negril -than you should go have a drink there for sure....
Where is Arthur's? Landmark?
Red Stripe!!
Yeah must have walked by Arthur,s a thousand times before stopping in, now I always stop at least once every trip, they are always nice and like to share the picture and story!
Arthur's on a night when Alfred's is having a show can be quite entertaining.
And Red Snaper for dinner!
