Looking forward to seeing some of you again and hope to meet more of you. I'm on holiday in the USA at the moment but will be back to Negril at the end of October. When I head north the passport control agents ask why I was in Jamaica and I tell them I live there. Then they ask what I do. I tell them. then they ask why I am heading to Cincinnati and I say vacation. Then they look at me with wonder and tell me that I live in Jamaica and am heading for Cincinnati for vacation? Well, so it goes. Safe travel to all you! --Fadder Jimaica aka Fr. Jim
Please add Andy & I to the Dec list. We will be there Dec. 6 - 15 @ the condos!!
To all you folks going in December.
If you can, please hep the local musicians out and bring some guitar strings with you to give out.
The beach guys playing acoustic guitars like medium or light gauge strings $3.50 -$5.00 a set at any music store where you live.
The guys playing in bars playing electric guitars like light to extra light gauge strings , about the same price.
Guitar strings don't last long in the salt air and they will be thrilled with the gift.
Bless Up. and thanks.
Hey,Ya want me to play if for them too???? Kidding, yeah,I bring the pics too....
Rasta Stan what about that bass player.......??? You know the BIG stand up bass? what about strings for that??
He'd love them I'm sure, they aren't cheap , about $40., I'd say.

This is my first time on this Forum (does that make me a boardie, or is there some other initiation?). My excuse: 8 of my 9 trips to Jamaica were in the 1980s...
I’ll be at Yellow Bird 12/27-1/6 with a gal pal who has never been to Jamaica, and I really love introducing newbies to the Negril beach life. In the 80s I stayed at Our Pastime, Yellow Bird, T-Water, Tree House, and Country Country. (I don’t count the misguided trips to Mobay and Ocho Rios before I saw the light.) Then last year I brought my 18-year old son to Charela and I was thrilled to see the Negril essence intact. I was sure the all-inclusives would chase out everyone else, so I’m so pleased to see that they’ve mostly kept to themselves up in the Bloody Bay area. (Nothing against AI if it’s your thing – I don’t mean to offend.)
Anyway, I hope to meet up with whoever is there from this Forum, so thanks for posting this thread!
Welcome to the board Onceyougo!
Anybody planning on doing the bar crawl? We're thinking maybe the 27th??
Hey, 2nutz4travel! I sent you a shout-out on another forum post, but just fyi, I'll be there...I made my reservation with Lenbert for the 27th pub crawl a few weeks ago. Maybe we shall finally meet! I went on the crawl last year and met some awesome people and had a helluva fun time. Perhaps we will have a chance to toast our birthdays this year!
I'm emailing him now :)
Yay! I'll see you then! You know, it was driving me crazy thinking we had some other commonality last year so I looked to see (or remember!) if you had done a trip report after your 2012 trip. I found it, and it reminded me...we both spent our 50th birthdays in Negril last year! I knew there was something else we had in common! Also, I saw that you stayed in the Coral at Catcha last year. I'll be in the Sky for 4 nights before heading to Charela. Your pictures from the Coral got me all excited again about the trip...counting the days...
Lucky girl! Have you stayed at Catcha before? You'll love it! I'd stay there again in a heartbeat, but Mr. Nutz loves the beach.
We were actually initially staying at Charela for NY, but after we stayed at Coco last April we decided to switch...
Nope, last year was my first visit to Negril and I split my 14-day stay between RTPB, Charela and Seastar. I went to dinner at Ivan's and fell in love with it. I still love Charela, so I decided a split cliffs, beach stay was in order this year. I truly understand the "once you go, you know" saying. I was hoping when I went last year that I wouldn't be disappointed after reading all the wonderful things on the forum. Boy was I NOT disappointed! I hear Coco is really nice, too. I have high blood pressure and I think it dropped several points after my first day there last year. Who need blood pressure medicine when you have Negril? :)
LOL - high bp is another ting we have in common! But I hear ya, I relax there like no where else on the planet!
We are confirmed for the bar crawl on the 27th! So far that's Mavmaiden & 2 nutz - anyone else?
Is anyone looking o book a trip for early December? Unfortunately my husband & I have to cancel our trip to Negril, Jamaica ....we are able to transfer to reservations to another party if we are able to find someone to go in our place. It's a 7 night stay for 2 at Seastar Inn includes breakfast daily and a show/dinner on Saturday ONLY $426.00 includes all taxes if you are interested in more details please message me. Booking is for 11/30/2013 thru 12/07/2013
GUESS WHO?!? Dec 25-Jan 3!!!!!!!!!
Staying West End, of course!
Testing my new ticker!!!
Ha - I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away! Coming on the bar crawl on the 27th?
We're in on the 25th as well - what time do you land?
Dec 18 to 26 for us! Cant wait, as were 30 days out now! Couples Swept Away is our choice. But we will be walking the beach daily checking out some beach bars and going down to visit our beach vendor friend Ozzy down by the old haiti house! If anyone is walking down by him and say hi for us!
LOL Work is closed that week & I had miles!! :)Quote:

Definitely thinking about the pub crawl on the 27th!
Looking forward to seeing you two again! Especially, after surviving the 'end of the world' together. ;)
We are supposed to land just ahead of you, 2:25pm. You're welcome to share a ride with us if you like, I already have Rocky booked. We normally stop for "supplies", but it looks as though nothing will be open. Still debating if Club MoBay arrivals would be worth it...
Just pulled the trigger on flights! Will be headed down solo on the 10th then my 19 year old son is meeting me on the 13th for his first trip to the rock! Staying until the 19th.....now I have to work on accommodations. I want to take him on some excursions so if anyone has any planned and wants some people to join to lighten the cost give me a shout!
Mr and Mrs Sandman coming Dec 20 till Jan 4. No Negril for us this year though - heading east to Port Antonio to seek out new adventures. Have a car booked so we will be doing plenty of exploring.
2nutz, Thank you for the offer to share a ride. I would love that!
I will contact Lenbert for the 27th.
My return flight is around noon on Friday, Jan 3- if anyone is leaving that day & would like to share a ride back to the airport.
Please remove us from the Dec. listing as we have had some issues come up & will not be able to come for Dec. 6-15. Thanks.
Awwwww Bonnie! I was so looking forward to seeing you. I hope everything is okay and that our paths will cross again in April/May?
