Ooh boy I'm in trouble - Seasplash too much fun this time around

This falls under category of watch what you wish for. Every year we come to Seasplash and it is always lovely and anyone who's read my posts knows I'm a big fan. And every year husband and I say that we don't understand why everyone doesn't stay here -- just seemed like such a beautiful, lush, comfortable home with the most lovely staff. So now Ted and Jim have taken hold of the place and made it the lively place to be -- and there has been someone to play with every minute! It's amazing how many things they have acocmplished (improvements that is) in such a short time. Literally weeks they have been working on this, maybe 10 weeks? and the new bar is completely constructed -- a real nice very long wood bar. I was thrilled to see that they kept the fabulous carved wood panels that we special-made after Seasplash was rebuilt following Ivan. They took them down to open up the whole patio/beachfront area even more (this was always a great feature, now just bigger and better). But they put them up in 3 sections on the wall behind the long bar -- so beautiful there! It's been three days and I haven't gotten to the upstairs area yet -- all things in good time! That's not completely done, but husband informs me that there is a big horseshoe bar up there. It has always been mostly unused space (just the occasional large party) but we have often gone up there with our drinks for sunset viewing.

OK time to get ready for Donkey races -- throw on (one of my 8 ; )) suits and have some breakfast -- then pick up some local friends (children) and off to the races!

PS the trouble part will have to wait -- but there is great music and lots of drinking and dancing -- husband isn't so used to my cutting lose -- oops! SO many fun people it is just too hard to resist. And why resisit??? We're in Negril!!

More ... ps more boardies are coming here today - have met a couple here -- this too is a rather rare happening, which I like. Oh yes and if you haven't heard him yet, Boombastic bought himself a megaphone and is like a little kid with it. Annoying and fun all at the same time. Making us all laugh though.

Yeah geesh quiet down Mrs. Wilson! lol Any way I agree great place to stay at Seasplash! Boombastic with the megaphone was pretty funny!

Back from the donkey races -- omg best part was the male donkey chasing after a female with the biggest bamboo I've ever even imagined! So very funny -- his proud owner was parading him around for everyone to see -- here's a peek, hopefully I won't offend anyone.

:eek:

OMG, I hope the female donkey ran!! :)

I can't even tell you how hysterical this was -- myself and a few grown female friends were laughing so hard our sides were hurting, and my 13 year old son kept yelling someone help that donkey out he's gonna explode! ROARING!!!! I am embarassed to say I've not talked of much else all afternoon, and I've been sharing the pics with everyone I see. I am not normally so immature, but it has been a fun diversion. Every time he settled DOWN so to speak, the owner would walk him past the female again and BOOM! more bamboo!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah....im just freeking speachless....husbands take on this.....

:D

Hope your ok this morning Mrs. Wilson, you were cracking me up last night. lmao

Hello there Mrs Wilson, it was a delight meeting you and your lovely family. I have to say those few days I stayed at Seasplash were the best i had experienced in any hotel in Negril. Jim and Ted are the best hosts ever, nothing was ever a problem and they are great fun too.

The room was great, the staff lovely and food delicious. The atmosphere was warm and friendly.

The only problem I think I can come up with was the hangovers in the morning.

Big Up Seasplash!

OK a little (ok a LOT) slow yesterday. My legs were not moving well due to so much movement (DANCE DANCE DANCE) the night before. So lots of laying around napping. But today is a new day and tonight is Beres Hammond! So excited for my big night out. LOL! HUsband won't go, so I'm being sent with a bodyguard/chaparone -- oh boy! If the Jungle was named something it might help. Some safer sounding name perhaps would make him feel better. And perhaps I could work on my tan today -- I've barely spent time at all on browning up -- much needed for this very white girl.

Hey Annie thanks for coming back by last night -- was great to see my new friend! Maybe you'll show up tonight at the concert -- if not we'll see you soon on the beachside. One love --

All recharged and ready to go! Happy hour soon come!

Wow I'm eating a piece of cake right now with some really good strong coffee at Treehouse. The cake is deep golden color and tastes like the best buttery poundcake you've ever had. Trying to finish up with work but keep getting sidetracked. Just enjoyed breakfast with Gail Jackson -- what a lovely lady she is, always a pleasure to swap stories with her. Another great US Lady who now belongs to JA too is Jackie from Jackies on the Reef. Met up with her at the Donkey Races, where she was volunteering. She recognized me right away, which was so nice of her. We'll be heading out there later in the week maybe -- or next week. Who knows ... time flies when you've busy doing nothin' but having fun.

Hey Pool Guy (or anyone else who wants to answer) - what time do you think Beres will go on tonight? Ticket says door open at 8 and show starts at 9. I figure Beres about 11? or later?

I am sooooo Jealous. Beres Boss Hammond singing sweetly for the ladies specially on Valentines day.
Everybody rock and groove.

Concert last night was incredible! I have nothing to compare it to, but I will say the venue and crowd and music was as great as I imagine and MORE! I heard so many people (women) say they didn't like the Jungle venue that I was quite skeptical, but really I don't understand why - the party last night was outside - open air - and an orderly and friendly crowd that could not have been more cool. And we were so close - actually Beres was staying at Seasplash and so I got a chance to chat with him and his daughter and another friend for a while before we left for the show, COOL! He was so nice -- he had already met my son turns out! I guess my little guy had eyes for Beres' beautiful daughter! I wondered if I would have ankles left this morning with all the bouncing up and down in place -- but I'm none the worse for it today. Best part was when the whole crowd was singing along - such a great vibe! There was talk of a huge party after the show, but I walked down to the bar for a quick check when I got back and nothing going on. I went to bed, worried that I might miss the party of the year, but then again, worried that if I didn't get my butt back to my room I would really make my husband mad. DEVELANGEL/DEVIL/ANGEL/ I let angel win. Goo choice, as apparently it didn't happen. Sorry to those who waited late late, but glad I didn't miss out! And I'm still married today, good thing.

Hey, I was looking out for you but didnt get to see you. It was a wow show. Hows that lovely boy of yours?

Hey ANny -- we are all doing fine! Today is Lynda's birthday so we'll be celebrating (as if we needed a reason lol). Cake in late afternoon at the bar. And webcast today 12- 2 pm. See you soon l )

Wish i could be there with you all, but off north for a couple of days. Say Happy Earthday to Lynda from me and give her a cuddle. I will see you guys in a couple of days, let me know if your around monday atall and i'll pop in for a drink or 2 or 3 or 4 or more. Love to you all.

Keep the party going at Seasplash Mrs, Wilson, Beres show was great, and we partied at the bar at Seasplash until 2:45 am after the show!

One love Pool Guy -=- was fun being here with you. Glad you didn't say goodbye cause I wouldda cried ; )

Val and I just got home, missing that place already.....now the countdown starts for next year!!

Hope John doesnt get lonely there, lol, Steve we will definitely have to hook up sometime. Enjoy the rest of your stay Mrs. Wilson.

Small world first thanks for the invite and drink last night at Seasplash, I just can't believe it we are born on the same day and same year !! Crazy Tracy in Kingston shares the same date but not the year!!

:D ..... that you two girls were born on the same day in the same year????? It was great chatting with you the other night Gail, and Nancy....need I say anything?? LOL I love your spirit and enthusiasm and having you and your family as guests has truly been a pleasure! You liven up every day, you are always full of surprises and special treats and I appreciate and have taken to heart all of the helpful suggestions. Thanks again for everything Nancy and Gail, Cosmic Cousins and twin sisters from different mothers always!!!

Jim Hurt (AKA Boombastic)

Back at 'cha all. This has been a beautiful trip. So many new friends, so many wonderful times, and yet I've barely left mid-beach. Right now I'm sitting at Treehouse -- up early this morning. Yesterday was a "resting" day as I had a bit of late-night fun at Seasplash bar with Ms Gail - my new sister ; ) - and Jim and all the others. Dancing again at some point too -- which I just love and which makes me not worry so much about the calories I'm drinking. So early earlly I was sitting listening to the sea, and the quiet tones of the staff preparing for the day. I love that time of day here. Have to work now for a couple of hours -- but don't feel a bit sorry for me -- it just means I have more vacation time coming in order to come back. Am at the stage of my vacation where I'm planning hard on how to come back in April. It will not likely happen, but right now it's the only thing keeping me from worrying about leaving. But none of that talk just now -- still have days left to enjoy.

Btw went to Sunset After Dark for a burger yesterday (why is a burger the perfect hangover food?) -- It was the most amazing! -- one full pound of beef ground by Patrick (owner) and really good trmming -- sauteed onion, cheese, bacon, lettuce tomato, relisst, and hot peppers (not too hot). WOW! I did not eat the whole thing, only half before calling "uncle"! The other half was dinner. Yum! Should have taken a pic, but camera-use not too much this trip. Husband still taking sunset pics -- we hardly need more, have hundreds, but it's such a beautiful sight, well who can resist?

More to come -- one love to all my old and new friends. Man I love this place.

Love them burgers and I always finish them! Too bad my trip wasnt longer I am missing all the fun!

I heard about those burgers PGW! Just saw everyone on the webcast, now I'm REALLY missing that place!

I fell a sleep and missed it, maybe that was a good thing, there might be flight deals right now!

Well we made it home in one piece and still married! What a wonderful trip this was -- big thanks to all my old (and new) friends at Seasplash, and to all our old and new friends who visited there. We arrived back home to Connecticut early last evening after an easy travel day -- the weather was mild and we were comfortable enough in our flip flops and short sleeves. But during the night I woke up to all white -- yup 5 inches of unexpected snow -- as if I needed a reminder of what we had left behind.

My new friend Steve said it so beautifully the other day -- he knows every inch of the beach, and he has it all inside. He knows what he will be missing when it comes time to leave, and will never forget what he has waiting for him to return. Amen. And now its time for a cocktail! Here's to you all -- more trip items coming when I can. One love.
