Right there with you Ting, we've always gone in the summer but our July tickets were outrageous. Oh well, it'll be worth it in spades!
Yes I believe the South will be making an appearance! Nay-grill may be in some real trouble! :)Quote:

Are we there yet?
Nope we're not, but we're getting closer !
Y'all are killing me with all your fun party plans!!!! I'll still be counting down........Trip was paid in full today!!! 45 days to go - can't wait to meet all of ya!!!!
Today was my last day of work!!! Woohoo!! Cands, I just made my last payment also! It's pretty real now!
We're at 1 1 1!!!!! Oh gosh I'm so excited!
I didn't notice that lol!
So Tfw, how long are you staying? Did you extend your trip?
Okay.... I'm putting a list together of everyone going in July during the first couple of weeks. I won't be there after that, so I don't care who's there then... :)! It's too much work for me anyway. I'll post it on both July threads as soon as I get done. My eyes are kinda cross right now!
Please feel free to add... My eyes were crossing so I had to stop! I am whoop whooping as I type this! I am so excited my insides are shaking!!!! Can't wait to go into sensory overload when I step off the plane… Can’t wait to have the ocean scene at Catcha take my breath away… Can’t wait to meet all you awesome boardies…. Can’t wait to spend time with my husband!!!!!!!!!
Gary & Steph (aka GarySteph duh)… 6/30 - 7/7 @ Catcha Falling Star
RastaDave & Lynette… 6/30 - 7/9
TFW & her man… 7/1 - 7/something (my new BFF)

We are meeting at Canoe on Tuesday afternoon for some fun (there will be music if I have to sing)! Some are on the Pub Crawl Wednesday (others come on) & Thursday is off to the Pelican Bar with Rocky!!!!
Haven't extended yet...it will be a last minute thing. It is truly going to depend on what my summer enrichment schedule is! I'm almost considering if it wouldn't be better to depart earlier!
HA!!!!!
I am still waiting on my dates too!!!
Any chance anyone has a layover in Florida? I can hop in a suitcase no problem!!! :)
Maybe Marley, I can't remember if we're are stopping in FL or Atl. Not sure we'll have room in our bags but you can try!
GarySteph, is that the first Tuesday? I bet I can actually get my husband to agree, as we both want to hit the canoe bar. While my husband Joe not anti social if it were up to him we'd split our trip between the beach and the bed, lol.
Tfw, I hope it works out for you guys to extend! You've been working so hard on your hot bod you deserve extra days to strut your stuff!
May has just flown by, I do hope June doesn't drag to much! I was thinking this morning we could all introduce ourselves and our spouses here. So here goes:
My name is Jean my husbands name is Joe. We live in a suburb of Austin TX, possibly the coolest city in the US and definitely the best one in Texas! My husband is in the tech industry, and I am a stay at home mom and wife. We've 3 kids, my sons from my first marriage who are 17 and 16 and we have a daughter together who is 4.
Um, hobbies? We love to read, pc/video games, I love puzzles, like crosswords. This is my third trip to JA, it's Joe's fourth, though really I our last trip was just one day stop in a cruise, but we did have Rocky pick us up and take us home...er, I mean Negril. We got to ride in his awesome new bus, it's going to be a great Rocky Thursday in such a sweet ride! If you've never met Rocky your going to love him, he is so great!
On our first trip, during the planning stages DH was pushing a Mexico destination but I championed JA, as soon as I read up on Negril and shared the info with him he was on board for JA and we both just fell in love with everything Jamaica has to offer and he has never brought up Mexico again! Our dream is to become ex-pats in our old age and move to JA.
So that's our intro, I'd love to read some others stories or I'm going to feel silly writing all this. So don't leave me hanging!
i'll be down July 5-12.
Awesome, we're are you staying KoolBreeze?
On the cliffs. Don't know the place yet. How bout you?
I believe that would be for the best! :)Quote:

My name is Brian but my friends call me Bub. My girlfriend will be with me. She will be getting her hair braided by Anne on the beach.
Wow, your trip is soon! This is the July roll call, however ;)
Where are all my July folks????
We'll be there, first timers, July 19-24! Counting down, now! We are staying at Couples SA, but want to see more of what's available 'out there' and experience some of the 'real' Jamaica...hope we can meet up with some of you guys! :)
My wife and I will be making our 5th reach starting July 1st. We'll be staying at the Rockhouse. Seeing the One Love bus out and about the last couple of years, we knew one year we needed to jump on. Looking at the lineup of folks on the thread that are already in place for the 4th of July excursion, we decided this was year.
With only a month to go, we are in full lather mode!
Welcome to the bus!!!! Should be a special trip! :)Quote:
