12 days or so...MISS G and captaind...Zion Hill.
I was wondering....with such a gang staying at CCLP 3rd week in April, I was wondering if anyone was interested in charting a fishing trip.
If we can muster 6 people together @ $125 a piece will get 1/2 day fishing on a 46' boat.
http://www.stanleysdeepseafishing.co...-charters.html
We were all the way back on page four!
Just checking in. How are everyone's travel plans shaping up?
Got your list of must-sees and must-dos?
Have you ordered a fresh new bathing suit, ramped up your work outs, or even pulled out your suitcase yet?
Well, I'm working on my lists and haven't done much in the way of changing up my routines. I got a new camera- I loved SLP's latest photos and found out which kind of camera she used. I got a great deal on a refurbished canon. I never do refurb but for the price I couldn't pass, and it takes beautiful photos and no cosmetic or functional damage that I can tell.
Still a ways to go, but the next few months Weill fly. I can't believe it's already February!
First of March I'm going to Florida, so that should hold me over a little, but I've realized that next year, I must go south for my December holiday. this winter is too depressing and the beach has been calling my name since June!
Topic for discussion... what's your typical daily Negril routine?
I looked for SLP 's camera here (N.S.)cause it wasn't that expensive but everywhere is sold out:( They have the new version in stores now but I don't use a camera enough to justify $350 plus for it when they had that one a few months ago for $160!
I tend to go direct to the brand website. I got a refurbished Canon Powershot SX710 HS for about half the price... can't recall exactly, but it was under $200 us, and there was some other promo like free shipping or % off or something like that... so far it's taking great photos. I'm playing around with it at home and work so when it's time for that once ina lifetime shot, I'll get it! HahaQuote:

Kelly and I were just discussing last night how much fun we had with the boardies last year and how we wish we were returning this April. Our next reach isn't until November. That's too far away!
I hear yuh!!!! It will be 10 months for me since June and it feels WAY too long. Thinking of planning a summer trip and maybe a December trip to help get me through next winter... it's brutal! :(Quote:

Just bought that 710 camera in a kit for $262.oo new,can't wait to have pictures that are as nice as SLP's!!
Me too!!!!!!!Quote:

missing the panorama feature, but I think it will be ok, and video will take care of that.
soon come!!!!!

Wake up early and enjoy the first hour or two by myself, walking on the beach, while DH sleeps.

Coffee for a beach walk while Momma J snoozes and then a cold beverage with orange juice to get ready for breakfast!!
6 ish... depending on prior nights activities.;)Quote:

At least that's the way I like to look at it (I do understand the technicalities of the DST). So, long story short, if I wake up around 7 am, "my" time, I'm right there with you, but then a hop in the shower and at least 15-20 minutes to apply sunscreen before I get dressed inhibits my haste in the AM. I have seen the sunrise, last April in fact, but it was because I hadn't gone to bed yet... :oQuote:

depends on the activity scheduled that day....beach days go something like this...we will set up our loungers and coolers...lasts about an hour or so...then off to hit a bar or two, usually centering around one of 3 places...yellowbird 2for1, sunnyside, or tony's hut....if there is live music being played on the beach, like drifters, boat bar, woodstock etc, you will probably find me migrating to the music...shortly after sunset, it is time to regroup and get ready for dinner...then it is porch party or bourbon beach, alfreds, or roots bamboo, again depending on the live music nights
I have a certain thing I love to do in the morning, I shower and suntan lotion up, the take a route taxi down to Cosmos. I usually have a bottle of water, and walk the whole beach, all the way down to Travelleres,
then route taxi back to my hotel and start the day ! The early morning is the only time I can walk in complete peace without all the higglers and such bothering constantly.
Early mornings?!
After Whoopee coffee on the balcony and then back to bed! All my visits I have never seen the sunrise maybe I'll add it to my to do list LOL!;)
My girl I am totally serious....what the heck is Whoopee coffee ????? :)
Never mind, I just got a message ...lol...... you forgot a comma !!! :)
No I didnt mi friend...you will know soon come! LooooooooooooL!Quote:
