Stan.... I'm sending every positive vibe your way... you guys HAVE to be there in April.. give my love to Betty... healing hugs coming your way.
Oh Stan I am sorry that Betty is not up to par. Sending Healing Vibes and Prayers your way~
Sending out good vibes for the wife RastaStan...hope all turns out well and you both can enjoy Negril as planned.
Hope she feels better, RS .... Negril will NOT be the same without you, my friend.
Looking petty good right now for that last full week of April. Hoping something like the 21st to 28th or 29th. Sweetie Pie has 10 days left until Sept and keeps thinking longer is better. Good girl! :) Am starting to look at airfare options today and we will pow wow tonight. Can I get a tentative on that Magic Bus! Ooh Yeah, The Magic Bus!
Positive Vibrations Stan and Betty!
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I had already discussed with a few others about taking a great boardie day trip with our good friend Chicken and his Magic Bus (seats about 20 or more) www.Chickensmagicbus.com
So far, we had discussed going early in the week, probably Tuesday April 24th, for a trip out to YS Falls and the Pelican Bar (we of course can discuss / modify the date and trip destinations with any who are interested)
So far for that list I have:
Shauna and Raul (Marley & Ralonzo)
Booger and Sandie
Clarity and Hubby-man
Luvsdaislands
Steve & Jacky – spottycatz
Brasi
luvjabad (tentatively)
Tizzy +1
suzieQ
Sweetness +1
Guirigay and Sweetiepie (tentative)
So the deal will be $30 per person for the bus ride. We will have to pay the entry fee at YS Falls which is $15 and then we will also have to arrange the boat ride to the pelican bar which is typically $10-20, so we will be looking at around $60-70 per person for the whole trip I would say.
Right now we have 14 people on the list, the bus can hold 20 comfortably, so if anyone else is interested feel free to add your name to the list!
Any one else interested? Just add your name to the list. It will be a fun day for sure! So looking forward to meeting all of you!
Clarity - It looks like that $275 is a one way on Spirit! :( Right now it's looking like $550+ in my window which would mean only one ticket on points. Won't buy a ticket until after the 11th - new billing cycle :) - so maybe things will change for the better? As long as it stays under 600 a seat I think we can eke it out. We'll be crunching numbers tonight!
Guirigay-
Not that you need any more nudging (of course) but here is an extra push for you and Sweetiepie to come last week of April....
Booger's wife Sandie I believe (and booger can correct me if I am wrong) participated in the spay and neuter clinic last year. I remember this because when I was originally twisting his arm to book in April he mentioned they were already thinking about coming in April anyways but Sandie was hoping to hear when the spay and neuter clinic would be held again this year. So Sweetiepie can surely talk to Sandie about that while in Negril or even while on the Magic Bus trip!
Just wanted to throw that out there ;)
OMG...this is going to be the most EPIC trip of ALL TIME...
Guirigay//////////////////////////////////////////SpottyCatz/////////////////////////////////////////Brasi
In the SCOTTISH section of the Magic Bus.
...and meeting all of you guys is going to be really cool...
Brasi.....Raul (though it might be hard to believe) has a Scottish background as well! LOL
:)
Brasi... I concur!!
This will be a trip for the record books!!!
#1, I love Jamaica in April
#2, I get to meet new boardies and see some ones I've met before
#3, I get to finally meet 2 of my girlfriends face to face after talking online and via phone for some years.
POW POW!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

Unfortunately we missed the spay and neuter clinic last year and will miss it this year as well. This year we couldn't wait any longer so we booked. Come to find out it starts the week after we leave this year, however it is in Ochi as well. This program is headed up by a Dr Rist, so if anyone else knows of a similar program let me know, as Sandie is totally game to volunteer her time. She is bringing some Meds down, so if anyone knows of some pets that need help shoot me a PM. ThanksQuote:

Do any of you guys do anything for fare watching? What would you recommend for watching the next week or so? I still have the old miles reward card so tickets would need to drop below 350 for me to get two on miles. Don't think that is likely. I can get one up to 600 or more but would obviously like to get it at the lowest possible price as we'll have to pick up the second ticket.
Aren't you sitting in the HANGBRAIN section? :pQuote:

Trip Advisor and Kayak have worked great for me.
Thank you All for the positive vibes for Betty.
We have to wait to see what the doctor says after she is on the meds for a few days. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
We'd lose allot money if we have to cancel so late.
Alright,
I have a buddy coming along for this trip as well!!! His name is Jon and I am adding him to the trip, that is if there is room still available. :p

Nice...welcome Jon!
BTW: one of the people mentioned in this thread clicked this week and hasn't added their name...
:D
Rasta Stan – I'm truly praying for Betty's quick recovery! I hope it all goes smoothly
You're both in our thoughts and we're also sending positive vibes your way!
Guirigay – Make sure you sign up for flight price alerts from Yapta and Kayak and Bing. Those sites are great for finding out the deals and messaging them to you as soon as they pop up! Just keep your trigger finger ready!
Hey is there any more room in the Scottish Section of the bus for me?Quote:

Look forward to meeting you all!
Spottycatz – Do you have an accent like Sean Connery? :)
My grandfather moved to New York from Scottland when he was a teenager, so he doesn't really have an accent anymore. I love the Scottish accent! (second only to an Australian accent)
Tfw73 – (opens suitcase) Jump in! You can come with us!:D
Who? Who? Who?
Clarity, no-one has an accent like Sean Connery.
Wow, just noticed we've dropped below 40 days. :D
Yay! I will reciprocate in July, lol!Quote:

Brasi- Shhhhhhhh don't tell anyone about the Canadian until the dawn of a new day...
Hahahahahahahaha. April soon come mon!
So, De Bus is up to 19 folks of various persuasion and ethnicity. Flags of many colours to be hung at the Pelican bar.
Brasi, if it is who I think it is.....I am going to be REALLY happy!Quote:

We'll need to hang a tartan at Pelican bar Brasi!
Enter the Scottish section of the Magic Bus at your own risk ladies and gentlemen!!
Hope we cross paths Guirigay !
Welcome aboard...the 21-29 is exactly when our trip is....if you guys end up booking those dates let me know about your flight times, you might be able to join us on our airport transfers, if you want!
I'm tracking flights that will arrive at either 12:21, 1:34 or 2:45. The price difference between them right now is nominal. When will you be arriving? PM me if you don't want to post :)
