Given that most of us are stuck at home if you would continue telling us about the trip, meaning what you did in Mexico, I doubt the board would mind. I realize it is a Jamaica board but travel is travel. I've had many great experiences in Mexico and I'm sure your trip was no exception.
Please keep discussions about Negril and Jamaica.Quote:

An interesting little tidbit and fallout from writing this story. I mentioned "Hunter" Wint as the guy that took us to Port Royal and Lime Cay well, his son contacted me on Facebook. It seems he was searching his father's name and this site and this thread came up. I was honored when he told me his father spoke of me and my wife a few times and in subsequent trips I spent time with Chef "Hunter" Wint when Peter's house burned in a fire and he relocated down the hill near Foxy's at a place Peter called

Here is an interesting LA Times article from 1992 talking about him, Peter and Maya Lodge. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-...293-story.html

On this first trip, I took a Super-8 movie camera which I still have transcribed on to a DVD which I consider personal. My wife did, however, take along a couple of small cameras which I have some pictures I can share. A couple of them are from subsequent trips when I re-traced our steps after her death. Hope you like them.
Here is a picture my wife took of me as we left Puerto Rico on our way to Kingston, Jamaica....Hawaiian Shirt and all.

Always love your stories Bill. Beautiful memories thanks for sharing!! Your stories about Accompong made me want to see it and dragged Jojo along. Thanks for that too!!
Thank you, Momthor3 for your kind words. I try to make each and every trip an adventure as I like to experience new and different things. This trip coming up I plan to do something different than I have done before and I am so looking forward to it.Quote:
