I'll 2nd that! Thanks for the pictures - hoping to see more :)

Great pics

Love the pics, and even more, I love your by-line, because it's my favorite quote from Lord of the Rings. The whole thing is something like this:

All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old that are wise do not wither
Deep roots are not touched by the frost

If you ask me, every line is great!

5 sleeps to Negril!

The pictures make me feel like I'm right there in Negril. Awesome especially that I have Luciano playing in the background. Thanks.

Great Xtabi pics, makes me miss it so.

Part II coming soon...and I will be back in Jamaica in 55 days....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome sauce, thanks!!!

Christmas in Jamaica is surreal. We've only done it once, but growing up and living in a cold climate all my life, Christmas on the beach was so different. The year we did it was at an AI, and they had santa, complete with two very attractive "elves" arrive by speedboat. I still have the picture if my wife sitting on a shirtless santa's lap.

One of my fondest memories are of the Christmas parties at Appleton. Ice cubes tinkling in glasses of rum punch and the Mighty Sparrow Christmas album....my kind of jingle bells.
