Pretty pedi!! You are making me want a Delroy special....

Okay, I think I may have figured out this picture thingy. Got too frustrated with the istuff and had to retreat to my PC. Here are some pics of Whistling Bird.

Loving it! Thank you.

Great pics. Always wanted to go in and see Whistening Bird, thanks for the tour. :-)

Dec. 23rd - Back to Alfred's for breakfast today. You just can't beat their food. Large portions & tasty! Back to the room to facetime my little sister. Today is her birthday. The first thing she says to me is " you look like crap - have you slept?" OMG, I laughed so hard! "Thanks for telling me how I really look! Why don't you tell me how fat I am while you are at it!" Geez, after all I have been thru, I really don't give a crap how I look. I am in Negril! I feel a little guilty that she is spending the holiday at home. I know she is feeling sad, but I'm not going to let anything get me down on this trip! To da beach we go. More mango daquiris. Hubby wants vodka instead of rum in the daquiris & Delroy takes good care of us. Back to Niah's for lunch. Niah's sister, Maude waits on us. I asked if I could take her picture, and she smiled and said yes. I asked if they would be open XMas Eve & XMas. She said that they would be open everyday - busy season! Hubby buys a lb of jerk pork from the guy on the beach. Yum! We go back to the room & mauw down our lunch. Baby girl stays in her room & we head back to the beach & bar. Delroy is a great bartender. He plays some really great tunes. I just love to sit & watch people & shoot the sh*t with Delroy. We get showers & head to Bourbon Beach before sunset tonight. A band is practicing - that's the only live music this chic will see the whole trip.... :( The chicken was great - I love to dip the fries in the granny sauce! Hubster has the red snapper. We asked the bartender if he would call a cab, as we didn't want to walk back. He said no problem, we will have one of our employees give you a ride. Awesome! Seymore gave us a ride back to Rondel. Very nice fellow - he didn't want any $$ for the ride, but I gave him some anyway. I have to say that we had great food & wonderful service at Bourbon Beach! Same evening ritual, redheads in bed & Mom prancing around the room all night partying by herself - its cool.... I am good with being by myself! Loving life!

Christmas Eve - trying not to think that we only have 3 days left... Redheads wants to try some place new for breakfast. We head down the beach to Country Country. Wow, what happend to the beach? You can't walk past Treehouse - the water would be up to your chest. Neat place. I was a little worried that the redheads would get fried while waiting for breakfast, as we were sitting in the sun. There were lots of people there, so I knew that we would be having a "leisurely breakfast". We go back to Rondel. The little redhead has blown up one of the three floats that I brought. She better get skippy with it, she has two more to blow up! We go out on the beach, she & I float on the one raft - nice! Hang out on the beach and as usual the biggest decision of the day is "where are we going to eat?" Hubby & daughter want to go back to DeBar - their favorite place. We ask Carl to call Balo to pick us up at 7:00. I have a few dirty banans & hubby has another mango/vodka daquiri. I go see Pat for my 3rd massage. Have I told you what a wonderful massuse she is? Damn, I feel right as rain....Balo picks us up & to DeBar we go. We ask Balo to have dinner with us. We have known him for years & he has always taken good care of us. Pam & Eddie know Balo, but for some reason Pam calls him Barlow....??? Chicken all around for us & Balo has the curried conch. We have the place to ourselves. Eddie & Trevor each come over & thank us for coming back. After dinner, we are heading back & hubby wants cake - plain cake. Balo stops at Devon House downtown. That shopping area is packed. Someone has his car backed up almost to the door with the hatch back open & the speakers blaring. You can hardly talk to the people at the counter it is so loud! We ordered some banana cake & plain cake - no icing. We take it back to the room & wolf it down. I put up a tiny Christmas tree that I had brought to Jamaica back in 1987 when my daughter was very young.

WOW, not getting by the Treehouse. Great report. Keep it coming.

can we see a pic of the hristmas tree you put up,pls?
