Getting home and standing on Zion Hill
It's not Negril but it's only 6 miles away and very Peaceful .....
Stepping onto the beach with a cold Red Stripe in my hand, feeling the sand on my bare feet, meeting the locals. Everything slows down and the stress just disappears.
For me, it's being away from the office. The sun and fun is just a bonus, lol.

Most of all Jamaica reminds me of a time back in the day when family and friends were strong, we didn't really need all the hi tech thgs and the simple things were enough.
People visit one another and wanted to get to know one another to laugh and enjoy each others company. the vibes are very laidback. The live reggae, and care free way of life.
That's what keeps me coming back!
As soon as we land in Mo Bay, I am there. Relaxed and calm in a way I just don't feel at home with work and our busy lives... Even if the lines are long in the airport ~ it's all good for me, because I am in Jamaica. Walking out the door and being "hit" with the heat and rush of people. Alfred's smiling face has always been a part of that moment for me, so I know that on my next trip it will be so bittersweet. I love the ride to Negril, the beauty of the island and her people. Once in Negril, I stop long enough to drop off the luggage in the room and then grab a drink and go stand in the water. At that moment, all is right in the world. My pre and post symptoms seem to run together and only are cured when I am there.
It's the people mostly with a bit of the rest of it tossed in. All the best memories involve the good people we've met on the way! Some will be sorely missed!
Peace

For me its taking in the sights and sounds around me..
a lot of people are weary about walking around by themselves.. at night especially..
but i personally love walking down the beach at night.. listening to the waves crash as music from various bars play.. i also like that i don't get stopped by as many "hustlers" along the way.
another thing that i absolutely love is spending evenings on the cliffs at my grandmas house.. it grounds me in a way and we just kickback, relax. chat, and laugh, its a good time!
It's always good but I have learned a lot through the years. Now, as soon as I reach the airport and get checked in.....I also check out all my problems and get in vacation mode! Once I''m there, I know that I will soon be in my beloved Jamaica. Away from all the home routines, the realities of life, etc............vacation soon come. Our first stop is generally Charlotte, NC....and it is a routine from there.
Once we land.......I am truly in heaven. I don't care how long the lines are, how long I have to wait for luggage...as long as I get mine. LOL Then, the climax of the arrival....walking outside the airport with luggage in hand....smelling the air, feeling the sun, and heading for my first drink on Jamaican soil! Then.....my ride to Negril!! The rest is always perfection!!! Always love stopping along the way for some authentic JA food......then off again. OK, now I am getting all psyched again for our next trip which is just too far away for my liking. Maybe, just maybe....a short trip in-between could be in my future. Who knows, but however it goes, I'll be happy as hell to be back home again in Negril!
From there on...the list is huge....the yardie food, the vibes, the music, the rum and other items.....the smells, the slam of the dominoes, the smiles, the beach, the cliffs, snorkeling, all of my long time friends and most of all........West End Road.....absolutely love it!!!
