TRAIL OF ASHES TOUR: The adventure continues as Gerry G returns to Negril

Damn i miss JA>!~!!!-Thanks gerryg123!!!!!

That night, I joined the M & G Montreal fam for dinner, so it was the four of us -- Gary, Maggie, Alice and myself. We drank and ate heartily with fancy cocktails, pumpkin soup, shrimp, jerk and lobsters entrees and of course the decedent chocolate cake. The service was superb -- thank you, Nichollette -- the sunset was amazing, and by now Gary and Maggie were like old friends I've known for years.

Overall, one of the best meal experiences in my Negril history -- and that's saying something because I eat a LOT of meals, and I try to make most of 'em eventful, lol.

Those three had walked, and I had my scooter, so first Alice jumped on, and I took her to Seastar Inn (approx 30 second drive), then I caught back up with Maggie, brought her through the gates, then Gary, who was already about halfway down Seastar Lane. I had only had one cocktail at this point, so I was all good.

Everyone reconvened at the bar for the usual 10 p.m. rum party. Alice and I joined some yardies for a party at Bourbon Beach. It was not too crowded, no cover charge either, but the bar was rockin' pretty nicely. There was a nice mix of tourists (not too many), locals like the great chef from Bar B Barn and hustlers (a little too many, lol). Everyone was dancing and having a nice time. There's a little gambling casino room with some machines, too, but no AC (for business reasons, they should install at least a fan), and mostly I was hangin' with Alice and the yardies and also Rasta Dave, who always has a friendly smile.

Here's an Xtabi video with a lot of the usual gerryg123 elements:

Reading your posts is like re-living the whole week. Love it!
Keep em coming and can't wait to hang out again.

I took Alice to the roof party just to see what a late-night party is like, but alas it was not late enough, and the place was still filling up at the time. We had a quick drink, then took a ride through the hills just for fun before catching up with yardie Sarah and a few of the others back at Bourbon Beach.

Eventually, I ran into Raquel, an old friend, so we all split up, with Alice, Sarah and the others heading to Scrub a Dub and me having my own dub to scrub. It was a fun night.

Tuesday morning. My last full day in Negril. I went to Seasplash early in the day, hangin' with Raquel and Rasta Dave.

For some reason, I felt compelled to enjoy one of my rafts at Rockhouse, where I was meeting Vincent and Roger at 12:30. I said goodbye to everyone and took off up the hill. I passed Rockhouse and continued a little way to Seastar Inn, got my green raft, then back down to Rockhouse.

I had a nice fruit drink, then floated about for a bit. I ran into a couple of snorklers, one of whom points and says to me, "Hey, there are bunch of nude snorklers over there!"

Interesting. I floated over, and as it turns out it was a snorkel boat from Hedo. I do love boobies, so I said hello to a couple of them.

Here is some video of snorkel boat captain Famous Vincent between passenger pick-ups. As usual, it's a perfect day in Negril:

Later I called Chris at Seastar Inn.

"Please start cooking me a nice lobster. I am heading up the hill.",

"No problem," Chris said.

You don't need four stars if you have a four-star mentality. God I love Negril. I've treated myself well. I'm rejuvenated. I'm recharged.

I'm ready to go home, but that also means I want to have as much fun and adventure as possible over the final 24 hours or so, which is where we were at at this point.

Chris is the host with the most. Seriously, I have yet to meet a hotel owner as involved as Chris is anywhere in this world. He aims to please and nothing is out of the question.
