New Years 2016 trip report, Groove style

What a shame with that lady. Hopefully she paid up front with a credit card and can do a chargeback. I'm not sure if I have met Dwayne, but would appreciate his contact info. Please hook a buddy up.

Groove,
I know a ton of stoners, however I have yet to meet anyone who blazes as constant as you do. Impressive endurance my friend. Also, it was really cool to randomly bump into you last month on the beach. I was on a mission to find Tiz and her man and regret that I did not make more time to hang out. By the time I made it down to her place I was absolutely soaked to the bone from the pouring rain. Ready for another bus trip? LOL

Oh, and I'm not sure you can find a better place to take in the sunset than Sir D's/Firewater/Lovenest. The angle to the sun, the cove, the bar, the bartenders, the items available for purchase. Those folks have it figured out. One could beotch about their beer prices, but yet where else on Earth can you take in that vantage point and find a beer for less?

day 4 for the boyz...dec 31, 2015...the girls arrive today...we both have been given specific orders by our ladies to have their supplies ready...all they want to do is drop the bags and get with it...so we both run our errands and get ready for their arrival...when they get here, we get started...we start with beers at travellers, have our coolers loaded with beer, big bottle of champagne, lots of party supplies, chinese lanterns, noise makers, silly hats, etc....we meet the rev and his gang (Just chuck) at errols...hang there for 30 minutes or so...then on a tour...hit up Jamrock for a beer, stop at barbbarn, looking for my neighbors, on to mom's place, then bourbon beach, a beer stop at alfreds, sunnyside, and then set up camp on the wall at room on the beach, with sunnyside hooking us up with drinks...this is the most crowded i have ever seen the beach, sunnyside, and the road was at a standstill as late as 2am

so we set up camp on the wall at rooms on the beach...the fireworks started at midnight...it was a decent display...where i am from, we see fireworks alot...and some fabulous displays...i was more impressed with the chinese lanterns...they were lighting the sky all night....never saw anything like that...i bet there were 10000 set off over the night...constant from about 8pm on through 1am or so...I was told on facebook that they were bad for the wild life...lol...my reply was that it seem very good for the WILD life i saw on the beach...everyone was having so much fun....(didnt feel the need to tell her we are very much animal lovers, bring 5-8 lbs of dog and cat food every trip for the strays, and paid extra to make sure our lanterns were biodegradable....)

we walk back toward the house...traffic is at standstill, maybe a snails pace...we notice this one car, it is slowly rolling beside us, but we are pulling away as we walk...lol...i stop and grab us 4 fried egg and frankfurter sandwiches and a half of chicken to share from the guy in front of Las Vegas, which looks to be closed...there was activity there in november, but none these 2 weeks...as we walk into pure gardens, after waiting for my sandwiches to cook, tha car we were racing just now passes by...lol...we grub down, and janet and i walk back to travellers...boourbon beach for a nightcap, where we run into cindyrella again...

all in all, a great 1st day for my lady...

I finally squeezed it out of Marshall this last trip as too many times I have rolled up and he has just sold out. He reluctantly recommended a barrel man at 1 mile, and let me tell you the chicken from that man was nearly as good. I say nearly, as Marshall's chicken is always great, never dry.

Hey groove, since you e been a bunch of Aprils, can u tell if there's a chance of catching a big name reggae artist while there

Thanks for writing a great report, I've always said that you write the greatest reports. It was a lot of fun hanging out with you and your group.

always a chance....luciano was there last april....

This (T's by da Sea) looks like a great place to stop on the way to Negril. Putting it on my "must do" list for next month.
