It's Tuesday morning, another beautiful day in Negril, but the ocean again is a bit choppy.
Suzie Q jumped on the scooter with me, and we headed down the hill. It's so nice early in the morning before most of the shops and restaurants have opened, and One Love Drive is nice n quiet. We took it slow, leaning into the turns, and made our way to Scotia Bank. Suzie Q needed some cash, and just by chance we ran into Clarity and bunch of other boardies who were headed on a bus to YS Falls for the day.
As I made my hellos to Clarity and Hubby Man, a hustler approached us: "Wow, what a surprise, someone is trying to sell us something!" I said, and we all had a chuckle.
Since it was windy on the beach with little waves, I figured it might be nicer and more calm up past the beaches, past the RIUs, all the way to Rhodes Resort. We made it there in about 15 minutes, and we brought along our rafts to float around. Everywhere we go, SuzieQ gets lots of attention from the Rastas, and at Rhodes the security guards were very attentive -- so much so, that SuzieQ even bought a little piece of jewelry from one of them (she is too nice to say NO!).
The beach was nice nice nice. I floated around a bit, ordered a few fruity drinks, got into Bob Marley mode .... It was still early but the sun was shining bright. Combined with the nice wind, it was a perfect Caribbean day. We had more plans, but it was hard to pull ourselves away from Rhodes. There were peacocks roaming about, and there was just one other couple enjoying the property at the time.
Thanks man!!! I enjoyed meeting you Gerry!!! This trip was a life changer for me. I will write a report of my own soon. I just a letting it all settle in, post reach style....and not gonna lie....been in a funk realizing it's back to the grind. I cannot say enough how great it was meeting all of you fine people!!! You ALL are amazing and I am proud to share a common bond with you......JAMAICA!!!
Very nice to meet you Gerry, what a week! Thanks for the help when things went south and the resurrection on Saturday night was extremely appreciated!
GerryG! It was good to meet you. Love the pic with Jodi, thanks for sharing. :)
By paying a very reasonable $5 entrance fee, you have full use of the property at Rhodes.
We took a swim in the infinity pool, which is actually a salt-water pool that pumps in water from the ocean. It's pure bliss, floating there and enjoying the sights, the sounds, the smells. If you want a 5-star experience for $5 dollars, look no further. Plus, the rooms are VERY affordable, and the food is good, too -- particularly the pizza, and that's an uncommon find in Negril.
Suzie Q and I formed an instant friendship -- nothing untoward -- and it was here we shared our life stories. There's a bond that often forms among travelers in Negril, an instant one, the likes of which I've never seen anywhere else. Let's just say we've both had our ups and downs through the years -- triumphs and tears, miracles and mistakes, etc. -- and we're both divorced parents with an everlasting passion for Jamaica -- and both with plenty of spending money, so we got along GREAT.
I was already getting a bit red from the sunburn, but what the heck -- let's keep rockin. Next stop, Half Moon Beach.
I think we are all feeling the same way right now dude....a FUNK is an understatement! ;)Quote:
