Wow!! Your going to Negril. It seems you might've just missed me. I got there on July 30th. I'm so excited to know what happens next.
…lol that’s a good idea, Sammy!!Quote:

I only gave him half this time and I think that’s what gave me the charge I needed to take flight. Had I paid him in full, I’m sure I would have removed a car door, the headlights and windshield to compensate for my loss.Quote:

Told him if he didn’t help me get my bags to the door and inside I was only going to pay him half of the chartered fare. He manned up and got to rollin those bags...sweating all the way.

She and I chatted briefly…just enough to introduce me to the property and for me to simply adore her!!! Lidia is a superb hostess, but more about her later. For now I need to shower, change and get something to eat!!!
Shower…DARN. I discovered I left my body wash and Summer’s Eve in Portland. A woman is faithful to her products…facial products…hair products…cleaning products… I would have to go out tomorrow and replace them. For now it’s bar soap and plenty of lotion.
After calling & texting a few folks back home to let them know I relocated and why, I made the short walk to the busy main road. In less than 3 minutes a driver stopped and asked if I needed a ride. Told him where I wanted to go and asked if it is in walking distance. He said no. How much? 100J so I jumped in.
I decided to have dinner at Swordfish. This restaurant was at the top of my Negril eatery wish list so I had been looking forward to trying the food there for a long time. The draw for me were the pictures of the upper patio and the amazing view. I had to see it for myself. When I got to the top I was more than pleased.

I was the only one there so had my choice of tables. I’ll sit right here and take it all in. I’m ready to slow down now and allow Jamaica to work her healing magic. I sip my rum & tonic water.
*sigh*
