Question, do you plan things to do while on vacation? I DO !, But this year it's Jim's turn. The only thing planned is the Plane and the driver, each way. LOL
it's making me a little crazy~~ LOL
I'm packed, under weight.....But there's still time to shop~ LOL
Sometimes plan, sometimes not. Usually the plans don't work anyway!
Like you, plane is booked, no room yet, no animal sitter yet.......being under packed is ok, like they say, take half the clothes and twice the cash :)
Donna......since it's not your anniversary........did you pack sensible shoes this time?! ;)
I usually have a few things I know I want to do.........then let the rest fall into place.
We usually plan one excursion to do while we are on the island. Other than that we just take it all as it presents itself. Our life at home seems to be nothing but one "plan" after another, so when we get into island time, any plans are really just spur of the moment ideas. Sand gravity is a beautiful thing.
Seems really hard to plan things ahead of time. Once you are on the island, your whole perspective changes. We tried the first few trips.. but either weather, group opinion, or our own thoughts made us ditch plans that we thought were sure fire when making them in prep for the trip. Plus other things could come up - a last minute concert you find out about or something else, or just deciding you feel like sitting in a hammock all day that day instead.
This year we are just going with the flow....there's a few places that are must visits for us but for the most part we don't have anything planned out.
Through the years...planning has changed. Since most day trips around interesting sites has already been done, tend to not make any big plans. However, plans of where we might eat, drink, or dance....still is on the list. Now, WHEN we will do these, is always changing on a daily basis. Somehow in Negril, ya just tend to go with the flow of the day. Much less stressful that way to me. Upcoming musical events and hopefully the "jerk fest" that Rob mentioned earlier...those are a must do.
This time next week, should be almost in Mobay!! Yeah team!!!! The first decision made after arrival.....where to eat!! :)
Yeah, plans.... make a hundred, do a few!
our only plans usually include Seastar for saturday nites, and One love bus crawl,and Red stripe catamaran for a sunset cruise, and some snorkeling, soon come
WestEndGirl...........It's Christmas...........
I feel a little Ho Ho Ho coming on~~ LOL

Oh, Donna!!!!!!! lol
I use Jim's method; just plan how I'm going to get there! Cute shoes!
Oh my goodness Donna.....you are making me have foot envy!! LOL I use to rock some heels in my younger days and even dance in them....now...my feet protest for freedom! I am either barefoot (remember, I'm from West Virginia) or in sandals....at home...in the winter, UGGs are my bestest friend!!
I will be looking for you "rocking" those heels in Negril! Don't forget to shake the sand out pon da dance floor! LOL Enjoy!! Hope to see you guys while there.:)
I'm afraid Linda will be rocking her Shoes for Crews or Crocs for walking around Negril, and I'll be wearing some un-stylin runners and carrying my walking stick.
I ALWAYS have a number of ideas or 'plans' for things I want to do; but they seldom ever happen.
For instance. I really want to have food at the following places: Ras Roddy's, Chicken Lavish, Hammonds Bakery, sunset at Sir D's or Negril Escape (good food), and a few more, but It's not written in stone because you have to factor in Cliffs gravity and drinks, subs, etc.
I'd like to take a country-side ride to St. Elizabeth and visit that beautiful farm that Taxi Man Tony Smith knows about. But only time 'and budget' will tell.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmQuote:

I guess our only plan on the Island is take a Sunday walk from the Rockhouse all the way to the "Leaving Negril" sign and then back to Canoe for breakfast. From there we taxi it the rest of the way back to RH.
What a great question, Thanks for asking Jim-Donna!
I always plan extensively, not just for JA but any trip (even Yellowstone).
A lot of the plans gets scrapped (sand gravity - what have you), but all the hours I've put into planning are like a bunch of mini-mental vacations.
On our last reach we ended up pretty well on hitting the restaurents we wanted to check out, bars were more hit and miss.
I don't recall how many country side-trips we planned, but the only time we shed the beach and limestone (west end) gravity was for Rocklands Bird Sanctuary (very worthwhile).
For this next trip I'm planning on hitting some of the Red Grounds gin mills that Kahuna has been featuring in his trip report.
Regarding the come-bleep-me shoes, Mrs. Peel (my fiancee) always says she's: "going to continue to wear high heels until her feet are too crippled."
I say, rock on.
Smith, how is the JA KFC different that in the states? Never had it there. Always eat the vender/restaurants jerk.
Hi, Donna.
Mi Lady and I usually don't plan much of anything. Sand gravity sets in most days and we just hang on the beach at various venues. The Canoe for New Years is about as organized as I am going to get this reach. We've talked about the Pelican Bar and that is as far as we got.
Jim has the right idea!
plans for Negril? every morning- walk left or walk right? Yellow Bird or Firefly? Gotta see Gail at Treehouse...... pay my debt for St Anthony's. Volunteer one morning to help with breakfast for the kids. Seastar Sat Night wouldn't miss it!! One Love Bar Crawl, already talked to Lenbert, all booked for Feb 14th Rob!! My biggest plan is to have as much fun as I can cram into 1 week!!!!! Not gonna lie getting excited already!!
Yes i am a planner and we try to go somplace diffrent evey year.We always plan maybe 3 day trips for 2 weeks we like to see new things
great, soon comeQuote:
