Send some of that heat to NY. It's been more like fall here.
You can get patties in the frozen food section at Central Market north. You bake them, not quite the same, but close. :)
'I'm back Jenb, hope I didn't lose ya No home computer...'
we're all still here tizzy, waiting for more!
Oh Tizzy,are you coming back......?
I hate to complain about heat cause I really hate bein cold. Wish I could send some or better yet, bring some ;)Quote:

Sams club has the frozen beef patties too!!
Jeez y'all are like my heroes today lol, awesome guys! Thnx. I'm having me a patty party this wknd LJ ;)
DAY 6 Continued
The coolest thing about the beach in Negril is the possibilities.
You can pack a cooler and let sand gravity take hold. Or forget your cooler along with everything else if you want to, because you can get anything….seriously ANYTHING you might need without leaving your lounger. It kind of blows my mind the range and variety of things that I’m offered on the beach. Y’all know what I mean.
If you’re an on-the-go type like myself, you can walk and walk, stopping off at any number of beach bars/restaurants, running into people, meeting people for the first time, shopping the numerous craft stands. Get your hair braided. Get a massage. Hop on a jet ski, a parasail, a horse, or take a glass bottom boat out to snorkel. I wanna do it all…and it’s just fine if that takes 20 trips, I don’t mind.
Sand gravity took hold this time, but no worries ‘cause fun came to us…Two by two!

THANKS and PRAISE
I love when all you can recall about something is the feeling. That's how this afternoon is for me. I don't remember details, just that feeling. Relaxed, happy, Chillin out with good friends and a beautiful beach. I love the pictures from our beach day, everyone was so thrilled to be there with no worries….Playing around like little kids. Fun Fun Fun!

At one point, I noticed Jon found a little boy to throw a ball around with. It was really neat to see that side of him. Over time I would come to find out that he's an amazing father. Daisy caught a pic...
Attachment 30061
Next up….the Canoe webcast and Jon’s birthday celebration
love Clarity's tatt lol
haha, she must've covered up the Mom tattoo at some point.....or maybe that was on the other arm :p
Hate that about you and Jon :(
Hey Tizz, looks like you guys know how to have fun!! Enjoying your report...woo hoo. And we have another report to look forward
[QUOTE=TizzyATX;104481]:p
Thanks Heater!! We gave it a real good shot. Called it quits a couple weeks ago. </3
Aww, I'm so sorry Tizz! Was so hoping you and Jon would end up writing a "Wedding in Negril" trip report someday. I am looking forward to reading the rest of your wonderful report, and I really hope today is a happy day for you.
Where are Marley and Clarity hiding out they haven't posted. Would you take your kids to Jamaica or are they too young now? Nice you've posted the photos here.
The beach pictures are funtastic. You rock that bathingsuit. Hope you are having as much enjoyment reliving your experience as we are. Thank you so much for sharing.
What???????? No!!!!!!!!!!! So sad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know, I hate this. But it's ok...really. We made it a year 1/2, and had some of the best times. I'll always be thankful for that, but turns out there are obstacles that are simply bigger than me, bigger than 2000 miles... I hope it was the right choice. Who knows what will happen down the road...
Jon is very special to me. I reckon he always will be... :o
Finishing this trip report, I guess, is my way of closing that door. For now at least
While I can't give a definite answer as to why they haven't been posting....I can tell you that they both seem to be doing fine. Clarity and her hubby have been doing some traveling and might actually have an opportunity to relocate. Not sure on the details or if that's finalized. but my fingers are sure crossed for them.Quote:

They are 6 and 8. I don't think they're too small but I would have more needs as far as amenities go...

Day 6 - Canoe Webcast
For hours, we’ve been admiring dark rain clouds rolling in but they’ve decided to open up on us now. All ready to head up the road to Canoe for the Webcast. Booger’s little light bulb had gone off and he scheduled with Vincent to give us a ride from the beach up to Canoe. He’s still patting himself on the back for that one and it’s like a tradition now. Good thinkin dude.
Water taxis…much cooler than redplates.
We fire one up. Vincent fires up the boat….and we’re off to a boardie party.
Attachment 30087
Since Jon is the birthday boy, the captain lets him take control and drive the boat. Vincent and Roger are good guys. You oughtta go out with them if you ever get a chance…

Loving this report,keep them coming Tizzy!!
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!!
Webcast in full swing and everyone’s having a great time! I mean REALLY good. All smiles and laughs. The steel drum band has managed to set up on the narrow patio in order to stay dry. You think a little rain is gonna stop this?
NUH UH!!! Especially not IndyCindy, who was dancing her heart out in the sand. I love this woman, how can you not?!?
Attachment 30095
Had the opportunity to put some new faces/names to familiar boardie names. I love this! The band is awesome, this is my very first canoe webcast. Stan took the “stage” which is always a pleasure as many of you know, but today there was a magical moment when Mr.Spottycatz joined him in song. That will always stick out in my mind.
Attachment 30096
Meanwhile, Booger has arranged with the girl at the bar (I forget her name but she’s adorable), to surprise Jon with some cake and a song. Remember what I told u about our Boog.....always making sure his friends are having fun.
The look on Jon's face was priceless when she came out with the cake and the steel drum band played Happy Bday….then as she got closer and he realized what they had used as a candle he looked extra amused... Gotta love the innovation. No candle? NO PROBLEM ;)

This was a fun afternoon spent connecting with new friends. Sharing laughs. Good times.

Finally got a chance to really check out Rob’s webcast operation….pretty freaking cool ya’ll. If you’ve never made it to one you should put it on your To-do list. I wish I had a home computer so I could log in and watch from home, and chat. One day.
Rob, thank you, your work is appreciated (and envied haha). Always a great time…and I’m always looking forward to the next.

hey tiz - i took my son to jamaica the first time when he was less than a year --- he's 17 now ---i found out all he needed in negril was some beach toys and a friend - now he has friends that are shouting to him out the car window at Sangsters (rolleyes lol)
we did Sunset Beach Montego Bay for 4 nights one time --- there's a water park on site and LOADS of kid activities --- there's also an adult area so you don't get run over by kids all day --- although i must admit the kids were pretty contained - they run specials where kids are free sometime - 4 to a room - good mix of Jamaicans and tourists stay there so there is some jamaican food every day
after those 4 nights --- i was BORED to death and was happy to have a few more nights in Negril
Hey Tizbit,
I have the perfect place to take your kiddos too. Hint, Hint
We take our daughter to Negril with us every year and she loves it. Stay at a small hotel on the beach. We are taking her to Isla Mujeres, Mexico for the second time in November. Sometimes she gets confused and just says when are we going to "Jamexico".
ahhh to have little people that are your responsibility.... i believe in your report you called them thing 1 and thing 2... too cute... i do remember reading on a few hotel sites that kids under 12 free... lmao.... mini tizzies i can only imagine...
oh yeah theres this place kids love in California too... that kids LOVE maybe you've heard of it... we call it DISNEYLAND...lolQuote:

Ms Funsize,
just do it....l.
Yes Tizzy..there's a great chemical brothers song(galvanize) -the main lyric is "PUSH THE BUTTON"....I know a few women who actually raised there kids there...Your a responsible mom-you'll
have no problems sorting it out ...Would be a great experience seeing other part of the world..
Haha, I bet you were. I think we would stick with non-AI, because like you said they will be happy with sand, surf, and some shovels and buckets. Only thinking I would need a kitchenette...Quote:

You're peer pressure is outta control Boog....and its NO fair cause you know it's too soon for me. Have you already booked it??Quote:

Suzengrace you are not helping me ward off the peer-pressure!! LOL I'm just dying for them have that experience. I've tried to imagine living and raising kids in Jamaica. I don't think Negril would be the place though....Quote:

never needed a kitchenette (frig maybe) - box food - kid was too excited to eat lol - had to learn to feed him when he was hungry - not at mealtimes --- now he did want to eat everything that walked up the beach --- the fruit lady Gem being his favorite or was it the cotton candy man - lol
Tiz,
It's booked and I'm expecting you and the munchkins to go. And I'm not asking.......
dammit
oh damn.
