Maybe next reach if the sand gravity doesn't ground me as usual !!!!

AND they also mentioned Rick's .............. I know a lot of boardies rip the place as too touristy and expensive ............... but it is a must see at least once ................ THE best sunset party in Negril ................ go see, be seen, catch the sunset action / cliff diving, then walk to LTU, Catcha or other nearby places for dinner .............. can't say you have done it all in Negril unless you been to Rick's

Finny - The photo of the pier is incredible. I'm REALLY jonesing... Ricks is also on the list...
Soon come Guirigay....it really is a magical place!
I saw that and just had to forward it to my friend Lori who will be going with me on my next trip come August. :)
I love Rick's, and even though I get nervous easily around crowds, it's not really crowded for a long period of time, if you go in the early afternoon or a little bit after dark, it's not that crowded at all, and even with the people, it's fun to hang around for a few minutes people watching. Rick's is a must do for anyone staying in Negril, if nothing else, to say they've been there, imho.
I love the Pelican Bar too, but since I have been three times, and it is a few hours drive away, I don't know if I will do it again this year, have to wait to see if Lori wants to make that our excursion or not, I'm letting her know what excursions there are and hopefully she will let me know, but if she wants to go to Pelican Bar after the article and check it out, that would be cool by me, it's a neat place to hang out. Lori and I are definitely going to be doing Rick's for at least one sunset, that's for sure!
Sand Gravity! So that's what inflicts my husband! LoL I'm glad to know this disease has a proper name! I still think you should come in July, and me and you and lfw73 will go to the Pelican bar? Girlzzzzz only! Her husband has the sand gravity affliction as well!Quote:

Good to know I'm not the only one who loves Ricks. We've met some really cool people there.
Although overpriced, Ricks has one of the best Pina Colada's I have tasted in Negril!!!
And I aint ashamed to say I like to go and look at the Jamaican men jumping ;)
Just wondering about Pelican Bar in June or July when it rains alot in the afternoon, would it still be open? Just wondering.
It's always open
The issue is whether you can find a boat to take you out to it......but that usually isn't a problem either
Last time I was there last November, we missed a morning storm by a few hours, but the waves were still a bit choppy, and then it began to rain in earnest when we were at the Pelican Bar, so when it let up, we all jumped in the boat and headed towards shore..didn't make it halfway before the heavens opened up and it just poured, and with the bouncing from the waves and the needle prick of the rain, it made for quite an e ticket ride, but I wouldn't have missed it for the world..of course, had there been any lightning to go with it, it would have been a whole nother matter, lol! :D
