Yep,you guys are amazing but we already knew that.Look out April,here we come!!
Very Nice
Awesome report, groove...that's so cool what you guys did...I got a bunch of stuff to bring in April..you're right about how karma works... Dwayne is such an awesome guy. I met him back when he was with Rocky.. Then when he went out on his own. I mentioned him in a trip report and some FB videos when JoJo saw and asked me about him and started using him who then introduced him to you and hopefully many more. Awesome guy!!!!
Groove16, I really like your style!
We were in Negril in October and took supplies over to Ms. Peal at St. Anthony's soup kitchen...spent the morning and lunch with her and the girls...they do such good work. Also met Fadder Jim Bok....such a big heart. We were able to take a large suitcase full of kids flip flops...big hit! I love seeing the kids smile over such simple things. My husband always gets nervous when the huge suitcase comes out and I start filling it with gifts, but the smiles are worth it. We took new serving supplies and knives to Ms. Pearl and her smile was very rewarding. The girls asked if we were Catholic and were confused when we said no. I looked at Ms. Pearl and said that we all serve the same Jah so it does not make any difference what our specific religion is and I got a big nod from her. When it came time to serve lunch, Ms. Pearl pointed at me and said "you sit here by me". It was my honor and pleasure....a very rewarding way to spend part of a day.
Sent u a friend request on Facebook
Awesome job guys! You made so many kids smile... I hope other people read your report and say "hey I wanna do that!!!"
So awesome!
we left Dwaynes Moms area, and headed for a place to stretch our legs...up, up, up the mountain we go...we arrive at a place of breathtaking beauty...these pictures do not capture the beauty of this land...It is owned by a dude from Texas...came to Jamaica about 40 years ago...rented a small place from dwaynes mom....very primitive...friends and family would visit and wonder why he was living like that...lol....cashed in everything he had, a couple thousand dollars, bought this piece of property...it was a sugar cane field, all over the hills...over the years, he worked the land, clearing it down, and planting several hundred fruit trees...he now lives off the land, sells fruit, etc...has a 30 ft waterfall, and creek that runs through it....this would be the dream....only 30 minutes from negril, but away from all the hustle...if u look close in a couple pics, you can see the water, and Negril cell tower on the far left...

Off the beaten path trips are simply the best. And that dude from Texas looks like he was one that figured it out and made it. Great report my friend and your guides look awesome and do an amazing job of showing you all a great time.
Nice work Groove.
I guess Drifters has a formal dress code now. Roy put on a shirt! Your report makes me want to pull an April trip outta my hat!!!!
Off the beaten path, enjoying the REAL Jamaica. Awesome! Such a beautiful country.
Great! love the report and the pics. :)
Great LOVE THE REPORT! You guys are great, exactly the type of people we like running into at bars on the beach.
1). Where is Docs 420?
2). Dirty Bananas - check Tony at White Sands
3). that girl who needed a room in Negril? We were there over XMAS and last minute Dec 28th got a room at CoCo La Palm, they always have nice clean safe rooms - good for a single traveler.

doc's 420 is the old sky bar....not too far past sunset after dark, before horizon west..down at the beginning of the cliffs
