She coloured, played card games, cooked snakes etc. Also I had given the security guard a few dollars each day to keep an eye on our door when we went to beach at night so I asked him to keep an eye on things. Never worried. Felt very safe at Firefly

That's why there are so few snakes in Jamaica. The local kids love them as a late night snack! LMFAO

Are you serious?? I have never heard this...

I was just kidding Jan24! There are very very few snakes in Jamaica. And none that are poisonous. In the 1880's they imported mongoose to keep the rat and snake population down in the cane fields, It almost wiped out the snake population on the island.

Day 9 - We are all a little worn by this point. The kids have had a busy week and the adults have been going pretty strong as well. We had an answer for this, Ya Mon Red Stripe Catamaran. they picked us up at around 9:30 and brought us up he beach where we got on the boat. Didn't like the next words. "No drinking until after snorkeling". Good thing id brought a big rum punch in my travel mug. This was a nice cruise. slowly down the beach right to the end and than out to the reef. Snorkeling was very good in my opinion. The kids had never done it and as soon as we were in the water we were surrounded by a big school of fish. Lots of colour on the this reef. We even saw squid. That reef needs protecting because there is still a lot of life there. Not as nice as some in Bahamas but nicer that other places ive been. After they took us to the island. Very quaint little sand island. The Fire and grill was going strong. Included was free drinks and jerk chicken or lobster dinner. They had live lobsters in a trap right beside the island and cut it head to toe down the middle. Threw them on the grill while warming the rice/peas and calaloo. You know the lobster is fresh when it still flops around on grill after being cut in half. Food was great. After lunch we sarted cruising the shore slowly but the afternoon rain came in. the woman and children got in the cabin but us guys opted to gut it out. Man did It rain hard. No matter though. At least it was warm.
