What's hanging on the wall Gerry?

Those are Gerry's gold records, mon. What I'm interested in is on the towels. Got your own scooter skull cap MC?

Did you remember to pack shaving cream? ;)

Yea, the towels look awfully familiar. Suspicious. Have fun

Just checked the weather report for Friday, the Mayan "end of the world" day. It's going to be 83 degrees with a nice breeze. Not a bad way to go out, lol .....

T-minus ONE. I hope I can find my passport ....

Sorry to hear about your dad, Gerryg. Keep him in your heart. I miss my Dad & Mom every day. They`re in my heart and we talk often. Soak up the healing warmth of Negril.
God bless

Hey Ger...let's have an end of the world party. If it doesn't happen we'll change it to the galactic alignment party. Only happens every 26,000 years or so. Very exclusive guest list.

I know it's been a few, but Gerry I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. May you live for two on this trip and have many many laughs... as if you won't! :) Make sure you strap the helmet on tight :) Yee haw!!!!

Strap the helmet on tight, I get it ... lol

Cool Runnings, Marko

Rambo how long you there? Forgive me if I asked before...

Here I go again. This is right before the shuttle picked me up this morning. I'm now enjoying a $9 breakfast burrito at LAX. Had to shuffle a few things to make the 50-pound weight limit on luggage -- there's a $100 fee if you're over -- and though I have the usual gnawing feeling that I'm forgetting something, I am off in about an hour ....

Mi soon come. Ya mon.

It's a sleepy Monday morning in a small Caribbean enclave called Negril, and it's nice to be home. I arrived late last night and fell into the waiting arms of Seastar Inn. I'm in one of the new rooms, and it is pristine, a very nice place to lay my head for the next 11 days or so.

I did the arrival service at the airport at Montego Bay -- I was the only passenger to do so! A nice lady met me at the gate and presented me with a cold bottle of water and escorted me through immigration and customs and to pick up my luggage and to make sure I found my Clives rep (Terry, same guy who drove me last time, great driver) -- the whole procedure took about 10 to 15 minutes.

Terry greeted me warmly and hooked me up with Leroy, a 51-year old driver with a good attitude and accomodating spirit. We hit the road, about 9 p.m. or so, and worked our way through the little towns, took a left were the sign points to NEGRIL (love that sign, don't you?) and coasted past the RIUs, through the Strip (very quiet) and up the hill, stopping about three-quarters of the way up to make a left on Seastar Lane.

Garrett was waiting for me with my key to the motor scooter (he painted it black and polished it up nice). It had been a long day, so i did not want to overdo it, but after my first official blended smoothie, I hopped on, started it up, and tore off through the gates, making a right on One Love Drive.

A new leg on the Trail of Ashes tour had begun ....

.

I'm hanging on real tight. Here we go.............

Please keep your hands and feet inside the car until the ride comes to a complete stop.

:) im ready for this report!

Gerry, Great to tune in to your report. Play safe young man!

Saw your tag at Tonys Hut....Left my Fred Stripe on the beam.

Glad to see you are back in Negril!
