It was….real nice. Lol Truly.
Eventually we found our way to the BEACH! YESSSS I love the beach and I’m so ready to spend some time down there. Good thinking extending this trip. Pat myself on the back for that one….
Booger is at the bar I’m sure. Probably getting everyone a cold stripe, cause that’s the kind of friend he is. See Booger’s happy as long as everyone is having a great time… and it’s hard not to have a great time when your hanging out with Booger….so generally speaking…Dude’s happy. :cool:Sandie is a beach angel, with an angel's heart, who loves all of God’s creatures and I’m lucky cause she loves me like a sister, and vice versa….AND she’s waiting for me so we can walk to a caft stand to go shopping. We are female. We have to go in pairs. To shop.
Later boys
Just so happens the craft stand is RIGHT next to Seasplash (currently we are avoiding SS, in case you’re not following) So we creep over their 007 style. Ninja stealth. It was SO worth it. I don’t’ remember the guys name but he was back there stringing together some of the prettiest jewelry I’ve seen on the beach....and...HE actually makes it all. I seen’t him myself. Get yourself a cold drink too.
By the time we made it back to our beachfront at CC….the sun was ready to set and we had prime Sunset watching real estate right between our toes. Negril doesn’t tend to disappoint in this department does it?

We all agreed on dinner at Canoe. Well who wouldn’t?! We tried to intimidate Jon with horror stories about killer poisonous lionfish….so of course that’s what he ordered and I got the same. This was on my master “To Do” list. When it arrived on our table it looked delicious not scary. One bite and OOOOOOOMG. Maybe it’s exaggerated in my mind, but it really seemed like thebest plate of fish I had ever had. Anywhere. And that’s making a BIG statement. He agreed it was wonderful. We had a great time that evening it was real low key. Sorry I don’t’ have more pictures of this day to share with ya’ll.
Boog was getting us a cab, while me and Jon had a bit of an awkward time trying to figure out what we were doing from here. Do we separate for a night? It’s my last night at Catcha and his first night at the beach. Why would we wanna do that?? we’re having SO much fun together!! Catcha is special for us, and one more night, just the two of us would be like heaven. So it’s decided. Jon mentions it to his wingman, and got a fist bump as you would expect. Booper heads down towards the beach and we start walking hand in hand up West End…
I can't tell you how much I enjoy this man's company. Decide to hit a few of our fav. roadside bars. We stopped at Spyders and had a beer…..then of course had to drop in on Connie (C&D/Jenny’s). Little dancin and drinkin before heading home.
It’s late now and for whatever reason, we thought we were gonna walk from Connie’s to Catcha. A car pulls up and Jon waves them on. It creeps along at our pace and a window rolls down.
“No thnx we’re walkin”
“Just get in the car I drive you!!”
We look over and it’s Spyder laughing haha. We hop in, appreciative of his time and consideration….and soon we are appreciative because we hadn’t realized just how far we were trying to walk at this late hour.
Good guy.
One more night…at Catcha Falling Star…with the best lover I’ve ever had.
Bittersweet
Thank you for taking a hiatus from your report that was just about the same length as mine from the board :cool: It's like coming back to find a familiar face - I hope that doesn't sound weird since we don't actually know each other! I am soooo looking forward to hearing how this trip ends - and the next one begins...
Love the pictures of Catcha - I'm soaking in every detail.
I'm sweating lol
First, girl your words are too nice for me...... So thank you dear
Second, you just shot right past Jon's bday. Remember how we got to canoe? That day was killer in all regards. It was webcast night with the band playing. Jump back, want to hear your version of the night. Jon's cake was classic.......
Oh, and that's Leo hugging Sandie, and he has the best stand on the beach. Him and Rasta Dave are my must visits as soon as I hit the beach each trip.....
Tizzy!! your trip report is so awesome! Love reading about you and J falling in love. Sounds like you both "knew" right from that very first day! Destiny is so sweet, and even sweeter to happen in Negril!:D
Timeless report... Nice! Gooooooo Cowboys,lol!
Happy Travels...
Skb!
Tizzy would love to hang out with you and the crew sometime in Negril, I might have to stop at the Betty Ford Center on my way home, but it would be fun.Quote:

Just going to say...July. That is all ;)
Jon's Bday was the day after we checked into CC. Just checked my reservation confirmation.....
However, we both know Marley remembers EVERYTHING, so she might need to verify. Lol
LOVE your TR and all the photos! This is the kind of romance I like to read about. You and Jon make a beautiful couple. Hope you're still together.
Well then, I had to start from the beginning, I needed a refresh. Love, love, love this report Tiz. It's great. And I really loved the video. What a group of fun people.
yoo hoo Mz Tizzy...waiting for more.
Thanks SO much Jimnkim, it's making me really Negril-sick too :)Quote:

Been lurking in on the report Tizzy, Great Job girl.
Ladynegril thank you!!!!!! More soon come (like today!) :)
Rasta STAN@!!!!! Hello to you and Betty, please give her a big hug for me. Thanks for popping in to say hello, you have a big singing part in this one, coming up real soon. Hope you'll come back around for the new TR when I get it going.... SURPRISE, you'll be in that one too ;)
Day 6 – Jon’s Birthday
What do you do when you wake up in the morning (in a little cottage in Negril, mind you)…
and you realize it’s your man’s birthday??
That’s exactly right.
:o
Then you do it again.
Then you jump in the outdoor shower, rinse and repeat.
Then you take a real shower.
Then you have to feed him something of course….
LOL
So here we are soaking up the last morning we will spend at Catcha.
The porch…the bedroom…the second bedroom…. the outdoor shower.
Pon di replay!
I’m going to miss the Moon. I can close my eyes and imagine dancing around while my favorite reggae and dancehall tunes drift through the cottage. The smell…the feel of the rustic wood floorboards under my bare feet. Constant rhythm of the water against the rugged cliffs…the playful back and forth Patois coming from the kitchen (always having fun), and warm rays of sunlight filtering through the wood slat windows. Do I really have to leave??
If you asked Jon he would laugh and tell you that I was a hot mess trying to pack up. Pouting….whining…. Being a real drama queen….. What can I say? It broke my heart to leave.
We aren’t exactly done at Catcha, but I have to brag on them for awhile, because damnit they deserve it. And just know that nothing I say could possibly convey to you how much I love it here. Doesn’t feel like a stay at a resort/hotel/condo/whathaveyou…
The fine folks that work at Catcha Falling Star are as much a part of the experience, in my opinion, as the food, scenery, accommodations and ambiance. I guess they ARE the difference. They make you feel like you just came home. I don’t know how else to explain it. Needless to say the property itself is incredibly beautiful. Tropical heaven. I know everyone has a different style and taste, but this is mine. The gardens and landscaping don’t feel fake and overly manicured; Jackie does an amazing job and keeps it very natural. I love that. He’s not hard on the eyes either ladies. Kitchen staff is top notch and lots of fun. Food is excellent. Same with the bartenders and wait staff. Like I said, we aren’t done with them just yet so stay tuned for more fun….
Right now it’s check out time. Booooooo!!!

Jon had already arranged for John Wayne to carry us from Catcha down to Country Country. Everytime they see eachother they act out an old western dual. LOL
Attachment 29948
Once I was squared away in the front office, I found my luggage at the front gate. I hugged Mr. Lewis goodbye, and told him I would miss seeing him everyday. I meant it.
Attachment 29949

Look at the sexy bag boy. Mmmmmm :cool:

This is a cool beach property. Has the same rustic but nice, tropical feel. The cottages are clean and so comfortable. Nice comfy BIG bed…..with a huge window right smack dab above our headboard….and it has a view of someone’s porch. That’ll be interesting…
Awesome little beach bar and restaurant sit right on the sand. Real nice stretch of beach. Never been down this end of 7 mile so I’m diggin it. Close to Margaritaville, Crystal Waters, Treehouse, Seasplash ect…
Attachment 29954
We post up on the beach with Booger and his better half. Round of cold stripes and we are all happy campers. Sand feels good on my feet they get so sore and blistered on the West End. Note to self: Need more beach time in the future.
Attachment 29955
I usually consider myself a cliff gal, but more and more, I’m itching to be on the beach. I dig the little beach bars and vendors and people that I get to talk to. Might bother some people getting approached by higglers etc…..personally never seen it as a problem, just opportunities to interact with people. Some funny, some interesting, some helpful, some not so much haha. I like to buy a patties, fruit, and C.D.’s on the beach…and of course CIIIIIIIIGAREEEEETTES on occasion.
Attachment 29956
I think the best thing (for me) would be a perfect split. First half Beach, second half cliffs. One day I will be able to plan my perfect Negril experience. Until then, I will FULLjoy my time here however it happens…taking notes along the way…still a newby to this town but I’m learning.
So we are seriously chillin. The sun peaks out from the cloud cover occasionally but for the most part this was an overcast day.
Attachment 29957
loving your report Tizzy, please keep going! and oh the patty man makes my mouth water, come on Feb!
the patties make mi mouth water not Norman lol.....
lmao... mmm pattiesQuote:

We stayed at CC in 2002. Not as many cottages then and the restaurant had been blown away in a previous Hurricane but we liked it there. There was a small bar w food between CC and Crystal Waters so we ate there a lot
Are you planning another april trip? I think its going to work out for me! fingers crossed.Quote:

Very enjoyable reporting Tizzy.
ok I am way late to coming back to your way late finish up of the report but the photo of Guirigay on page 24 "gazing" at the rum punch--that is not rum punch! That is a boatload of overproof with a splash of juice. Dang. I know these things--you can tell by how all that firewater rum is just sitting there all dangerous style on top of a speck of juice. Woo Hoo!
i fear we will not hear from Tizzy until monday
Winner winner chicken dinnerQuote:
