Cool Runnings, Marko
Those are some sweet Mayfield smiles...fun times!
Your such a kind soul... You and your wife look like a fun couple! Thanks so much for sharing Jamaica thru your eyes!!
Man I love waking up in Jamaica... we woke up (this being our final full day on the island)and popped a bottle of champagne! Mimosos are served. Water is still choppy... looks like I wont be doing any snorkling on the cliffs this reach. Oh well... we decide to get some grub and head over to Teddy's at the castle.
here is a shot I call "Banana Rainbow" Mmmmmm....

We decide to head over to Half Moon Beach so that maybe I can try out the new snorkling gear. Half Moon is a wonderful little spot. We basically just went there and slept on their cumfy loungers in the sunshine. The water was choppy there also- I tried to snorkle, but could only see the whirling of sand. Oh well- next time I guess...

One magical thing happened at Half Moon Beach... we met two women from Minnesota. This was their first time to jamaica... and it sounded like it was to be their last! Whoa Whoa whoa.... one of them was telling us how great Mexico is... so much cheaper... bla bla bla... I knew we had to intervene and point them in the right direction. I felt bad for them- they really were not liking Negril.. how could this be?
They were staying across the road from the beach, so I knew I had to take them to the other Negril... WEST END! We departed and said our goodbyes, but invited them to join us for Greeny's Steel Drum Band at Canoe later that evening.
Supper time (oh yeah-its Thanksgiving)... we head out the gates of HSH and bang a left. Destination this time is actually known... THE SPA RETREAT! All I have to say about that place is WOW. The staff, the structures, walls, food... everything is top notch- the best part... the prices were actually quite reasonable for such a first class establishment. If anyone is looking for the traditional feast on Tday- they had all the fixins for 50 a plate... we opted for the escovitch and brown stew chicken for 14.
watermelon turkey!

Dinner was great- off to Canoe! I love dancing with my toes in the sand to the sweet sounds of Greeny! We brought him down a nice knitted rasta hat- someone gave it to me as a gift, but I will never wear the thing (cut my dreads off long time ago). Greeny taught us alot about rastafari... I think of his words often "Always let jah lead the way- let him walk one step ahead of you."

Looky looky... its our Minnesota friends- they made it! We toss back a boat load of them rum punches and take a walk up the road to show them some more good spots. Connie was closing up- no worries Connie- have a great night... We show them HSH and then over to No Limit where we proceed to get blitzed! Rum n Tings will do the trick everytime. They are starting to love the vibe of the west end. No Limit was closing up and we popped off this shot- you can tell which 2 are about to leave the island and which 2 just got there!

We werent stopping there... we head to the store and get a bottle of rum and some juice and head back to HSH where we killed the bottle and shared stories & laughs. The two from Minnesota ended up moving to the Blue Cave Castle... and now they LOVE Negril! Last day on the island and we saved em- phew! Im am trying to get them to come do a report for you guys- Im sure there perspective will be entertaining.
So tomorrow we leave and Im really not sad about it at all this time... its all good- Ill be back!
Thanks everyone for your kind words and for coming along with wifey and I on our likkle journey! We are truly blessed
