What a lovely couple! Congrats to your sister! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!!
Lovely wedding, they both look very happy. Great pics, thanks for sharing
Friday we discovered the “Boardwalk Beach” - apparently it’s been there for some time but I had never been - next to Our Past-Time Hotel. Great place to chill - restaurant - beautiful shops - clean bathrooms - lots of shade. This is the section where a lot of boats are moored as well. Some days they have a DJ with good music playing on the big speakers. A couple of ladies have their massage tables set up and a young man you has his fruit cart set up and will slice up a nice mango, orange or pineapple for you to enjoy.
Friday night kind of sad as 4 of our friends were returning home - set the alarm to get up at 7:30 am to wish them a safe journey home. That left six of us to enjoy our last week. My sister and her new husband along with my hubbie’s sister and brother in law got ready to enjoy another Saturday night reggae party. Like all good plans most of us didn’t quite make it - but my brother-in-law and his wife enjoyed the whole thing once again - Mike even got called up on stage with Stevie but once there he was not quite sure what for - lord did I get a laugh out of that, perhaps you caught it on the web cast ;)

Our Trip this February - 3rd week
This week was a bit more laid back - we walked up the road and went to Ahhh Bees for Hamburgers ! They have 9 oz burgers that are most tasty and if you can get there is also a mini 1/3 the size - fries are extra but big enough to share with 2 to 3 people. Even the 9 oz can be cut in half and shared. The burger is the picture is the Canadian Classic which hubbie enjoyed to the last morsel. Hope it’s there next year when we return. Aubie does a great job with good cold red stripes.

Ahhh Bees looks yummy! Will have to give it a try next time. Enjoying your report! :)
We went to 3 Dives for sunset and lobster and jerk chicken - Nice portions for a very reasonable price. Service was great. Nice cold - cold Red Stripe Lights! Had one of the Lights with Lime flavour - pretty good! Great sunsets from here too! The Barrels are just off the side of the road and watching some of those vehicles coming around the bend - like those big buses coming back from Ricks - you just hope none of them come flying off the road.
My hubbie can’t seem to find his jerk spicy enough anywhere we went. However at 3 Dives they have their homemade jerk sauce that satisfied that heat he was looking for. So much so that we asked of they sold it. They had none ready for sale at the time but told us to come back Friday afternoon and they would have some. A wata bottle size for 1,000 Ja

We went back to Catcha on Tuesday to celebrate John’s Birthday of Johnmaica tours - good friends John and Anita and to treat my sister and her new husband and my hubbie’s sister and her husband, to dinner. I had reserved under the canopy which was a good thing since it did start to rain during dinner and everyone else ended up under the canopy as well.

Wednesday I went to Boardwalk Beach with my sister and her new husband. They went for a couples massage and Dawn does a terrific job . Richard - Cathy’s husband chatted it up with the fruit guy on the premises who told us he would reserve us the same spot as we were coming back the next day with the rest of the troop. We had befriended a couple of nice ladies from New York who were staying at Seastar and it was their first trip to Jamaica.
We returned to the Boardwalk beach on Thursday. There were our four chairs with towels on them under our umbrella - same spot as day before - I thought - Wow - he came through. So we moved right in and put the $ 5.00 cushions onto the chairs when the security guy came over to say there seemed to be a problem. I looked up and 3 people were glaring at us from the restaurant. Seems the fruit guy hadn’t reserved these chairs for us nor any other chairs. Oops - so we quickly vacated but not before we got a tongue lashing from the young couples mother who came charging down to give us what for. While she was doing this I was up apologizing profusely to the young couple and trying to explain why we had done such a thing! Worked out in the end - we sat behind them and we tried hard to ignore each other .. lol
I had arranged a glass-bottom boat ride to pick us up there and take us down to Canoe for the Thursday Steel Drums. We were 10 people and Canoe had a table reserved for us as I had called a day ahead to arrange. When we arrived to Canoe my sister-in-law exited the boat the wrong way and ended up landing on her bottom on the hard beach and was soaked and hurt her back. They went back to Seastar by taxi to get dry - take some meds and put some ice on the tail bone. The rest of us enjoyed some lion fish and fries and the first set of the Steel drums and then headed back to survey the damage back home.

Friday was our last full day, Vicki was in a lot of pain - she rested all day with a hot bath. By the end of the day she was doing much better but still not great.
I managed to get some fresh Mahi Mahi (thanks Kimbo!!) for dinner. Then we got ourselves packed to prepare for our morning departure at 8:00 AM..
Vicki doing better in the morning but she was worried about the plane ride and having to sit for 4 hours. I gave her a couple of my Aleve and she managed to get some sleep on the way back. Just to add icing to the cake they were pulled over by customs in Montreal. We waited for them to come out which surprisingly was about 3 minutes later. Customs asked them if they travelled a lot to which they replied this was their first trip in 25 years and customs said have a nice day. She is doing much better now after a week but still a little tender.
All in All another terrific holiday.
