Brasi Trip Report: January 2012

Brasi Trip Report January 4-15, 2012 #1

Hello all! The time has arrived—finally—to get dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! Here we go! 2011 was the toughest year of my life, so I am feeling very blessed to be able to get to Jamaica and start the new year with friends, Red Stripe, sand, and sun. This forum is amazing and I appreciate being part of it.

I leave Tuesday…in the meantime here are links to my Trip Reports from April 2011, if you are interested:

As far as the new TR that will follow, get your popcorn READY! It will be SFW&K, lol, but I am going to use this report to flesh out some social experiments I’ve dreamt up, and shed light on alternative ways to enjoy the insanity of Negril and the surrounding environs. This will be an interactive trip report!

So with that in mind: PLEASE private message me with any questions you’d like me to ask the infamous GerryG123 in my EXCLUSIVE sit-down interview that will take place at an undisclosed location in Negril.

Soon Come! Respect.

Brasi............ I'm getting the following message on all the links (The webpage cannot be found)

Looking foward to reading your past report........to get ready for the new one............

Have fun!!!!!!!

I fixed them, I think. Thanks for the heads up. I really goofed up that first post and I haven't even started drinking yet, lol...

Brasi- I think you need a woman there for the interview. I'll be there late afternoon on the 5th, so look me up if you want questions asked for the ladies..

Sounds good! LOL. This is gonna be EPIC!

Ok, it's working now.........Thanks


I just finish reading your trip report......... Awesome!!!!! and can't wait to read your new trip report!!!!!!

Have a wonderful time!!!!

and a Rum punch for Peggy.
We'll be one week and one day behind you.
In the mean time we'll be reading about your adventures.

Rock on Brasi!

I have never looked forward to a Negril trip more than this one. That's why I've named it the Trail of Ashes tour. It will be fun watching our two reports intersect. You're a good writer and a really good reporter, Brassi .... Your past reports are brilliant, and this time we're hoping you flesh things out and write a little MORE!!!! Then again, like fine caviar, best not to be spread out too thin. Five sleeps and a wake-up, my friend ....

Damn Brasi!
Gerry has it right.
Your TR's are so good they're intimidating (to any one attempting to write one).

Dude: You can write!
Impressive.

Hey Brasi,
I was just getting ready to pop off about how long it took you to finish your trip report, you know Clarity style :), until I came across the reason in the last trip report. I have a hole in my heart as well from a lost loved one and understand your pain........

Man, am I looking forward to a Brasi/Gerry tag team played out here.

Jus wondering if some kinda competitinon a gwan between boardies as to who can get the highest number of hits?....ah soh it go?

Your reports are brilliant and very insightful! I'm sure both you and Gerryg will have some great adventures ahead. I'm anxious for your trip to begin.

get your ass down here would ya.... and whats up with you and canadian girls ....lol

Beachgirl...I call them Canadaiaiaiaiaiaiaians. LOL For some reason.

Thanks all, I appreciate the compliments. This should be fun. Sooo darn excited.

Brasi! - So looking forward to your trip report and the exclusive sit down interview! Both you and Gerry reporting live from Negril at the same time!This is definitely going to be epic! I'm going to have to bring out the popcorn for this! :D

Brasi Trip Report January 2012 #2

It's New Year's Eve, and I am drinking Longhammer IPA, a credit to the dryhopping process.

LOL. Also, Longhammer is a great enabler for dr-osting on Negril.com!

Documenting how I looked Friday at work PRIOR to
1. Haircut
2. Pedicure (no sh*t. Patty Sather/Tic Toc WHO? LOL. For realz. I'm down with the pedi). I skipped the polish but damn, that happy ending calf massage was the bomb. I need to get souped up for my modeling stint at Xtabi.
3. Shave. Yeh. I let the shag go for a week. Just so when I shave that shazzle I feel like a new dude.
4. My pending trip to Negril...mmm....am I REALLY leaving in three days????????

In a week I will post another picture after a few days at Seastar. I already look sort of human...promise.

Ummm. Nothing was staged in this pic. giggle. Now there certainly no wonders about why I am single as a
mofo-ing shingle, baby.

And yes. I have too much time on my hands. (STYX. 1981)

Soon come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Can't wait for the trip report Brasi.. Have fun you're almost there..

YAY! Can't wait! Bring it on!

Oh wow I have something to read to look forward to! I see you are copycatting by getting some hits pre trip LOL have a great holiday and remember do not moan about any prices as you may get hung drawn and quartered LOL have a fun trip brasi you never know if you and gerry end up takin a day trip you may come and visit me in country! wooooo

hahaha Tic. I didn't think of the hits actually, but I DID want people to see that my trip was almost here, I'm just so excited that I thnk if I just keep posting I'll suddenly be
there...but hey. If I was gonna copycat, it would be you, lol. I got a PEDI...aren't you proud????

BTW: I don't expect to come close to Manda81, Tic Toc, Patty, Clarity/Hubbyman, or GerryG numbers anyway. (:

I will promise you all some reports on stuff that isn't usually in Trip Reports. Much new ground here...that's the most fun for me.

2 sleeps. Wow!

Yahhh, Its almost time..and dont forget your waxing appointment in the hi-lo parking lot..I schedueled in advance in the back seat of a red plate taxi..lmao! I want you to look your best for the photo shoot :D ..ill have joe show up with some led zeplin mood music... so no one can hear the screams...muahhhhhhh~

hehe. omg. 2 days until the crazinesssssssss begins.

BTW I would love to hear Tic Toc's accent (or is it ME who has an accent?)

"The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain..." My Fair Patty! lol lol

Brasi:
Have a great trip. Here is some roots music to get you into travelling mode (and to wok on your Jamaican accent)

Great stuff so far .... Interesting for us to wonder: If hubby got a bit uptight because it was getting hot at Jungle, what is going to transpire at XXX???? Because they do more than dance at that place!!!! .... Then again, these three are from San Francisco, and that's about as liberal a place as there is in the world.

More, More, More~!!

Have fun Brasi!

Clinton Avenue represent! (spent a little time in Albany.. obviously in the wrong places!) hahaha

2 Sleeps

@Booger: rough year, man tx.
@ BCBud: tx for the tunes, worked perfect as background packing music
@ Northcoast: There is no competition as far as I know, I wouldn't win anyway
@ Murph: SMALLbany!!!! Cool. How many times have you been to Negril?

I am one sleep away from starting my trip, and two from being IN Negril. So excited, especially because I have made so many friends here on the site and some of them are going to be in town during this trip!

On that note:
I'd like to be clear about a few things I've seen happen to authors of other reports, just so y'all know.
1. This trip report is for fun, and I hope you enjoy it. That's my only intention.
2. I'm not affiliated with anyone in particular. That includes Negril.com, Sally Struthers, GerryG, ShellyK, Ronald McDonald, Bozo the Clown, Nike, South Pole Clothing, and Dennis Hopper. All good people I'm sure.
3. If you read it here, it's true (or at least what I perceived to be true).
4. If you're gonna get your panties up in a bunch, or if you get offended easily by the facts that I eat a lot of curry goat or prefer one piece of beach over another...save us both some time and stop reading now.
5. I am certainly not the go to guy for all you want/need to know about Negril or Jamaica. That'd be Rob, or Marko, or Smith. I'm just a dude that loves the place and that also loves writing about the stuff I do there. I will keep it SFW&K.
6. It's been a rough year as I said above. This trip is going to end a pretty bad run of luck and hopefully start a new chapter for me on a great note.

Now...strap yourself in, because, I'm trading in THIS work tool:
Attachment 7878


For these vacation tools:
Attachment 7879


Don't forget to PM me your GerryG interview questions! FIRST IN...FIRST ASKED...I'll have a partner, boardie Juli, conducting the interview with me...epicness. 2 sleeps.

Great disclaimer LOL! Wishing you a great 2012, I can't wait to read of your adventures!

Brasi,

"You the man!~!!"

Enjoy, post when you can, if they can't take a joke....f**k 'em

I LOVE disclaimers......it almost always means that what follows is going to be good!

Have a great trip, Brasi!
We'll be waiting....and reading!

Brasi- Im eagerly awaiting the hook up. Packing and ironing (why? who knows,) matching the bikini's with the coverups, dresses with shoes, shorts/tops., the list goes on. 3 sleeps for me and it looks like 3 suitcases. Which means "Stop her and search!!!!" By all means I'm not high maintenance, but a girl must have choices. Looks like your a hat guy, and are those twistlers? Love'em.. Oh! and the pedi, we got a metro-sex guy here, this should be very interesting. Gerry, from his list, he's just a put a clean shirt & lets go, type. Brasi, girls look at feet, Ten bucks that Gerry didn't get his pedi.. You got 1 up on him already.

Juli, men must also have choices (hats). Add in my faux hawk and that gives me 5 (hat 1, hat 2, hat 3, faux, plain) looks. LOL

OMG. I may be going metro, as you said. I think once you meet me you will see that I am quite far from that...but maybe it's sneakin' up on me. :p Darn that Patty Sather and her Xtabi photo shoot. haha

I'll bring the twizzlers to the "sit down." SOON COME

Enough said!!!! LOL!!! :p

Lol.

Can't wait Brasi!! Love your disclaimer!!

Brasi, where are you? You picked the perfect time to head down to Negril. I's freezing today.

You're on your 4th page and you ain't even left home yet?:D

This better be good...

No doubt a fab adventure awaits...looking forward to reading all about it.
Twizzlers and Eat, Pray, Love you are da Man the party awaits!!
Enjoy!

LOL nevermind I see you are reading a different book title....tres interesting the male version I guess!

Is that a fishing rod in there? Good job! Let me know how you make out. If you are still there on the 15th...Fishing!
