**Tizzy's Trip to the MOON report**

Are y’all already tired of April trip reports?? I thought it would be nice to space it out so when there is a shortage in reportage I can come outta nowhere and save the day. Booger you were giving me a hard time about taking so long and really I was just being thoughtful.  I kid, I am just a procrastinator. Nonetheless…I am idle right now so reckon I’ll take a stab at another Trip Report…

<Insert AIRHORN here>

Can I just say I LOVE Jamaica!!!

DISCLAIMER: If you have read any of the other TR’s that have been circulating from the month of April (and theres some GOOD ones) then you have heard some stories or picked up on some subliminal ****, and I would just like to under NO circumstances make any apologies whatsoever for anything that may or may not have happened on account of me.  Simply put I had the time of my life!!! Some parts got a little crazy... but let it be known… I have a reputation to protect and I really do try to keep a low profile. Hahaha With that said, I will share as much as I can but the really good stuff is gonna have to remain off the record. You’ll have to just use your imagination…..and know that it was better than that. Heeeeeehe

Oh yeah, my grammar and spelling and composition skills may be sub par compared to some of the genius around here….but whatever… should be fun.

I'm aware we have all see the vid a milion times but its a good starter lol

Let’s rewind a little shall we?

(If you don’t like this kind of stuff, no worries my feelings will not get hurt… just wait until I get to Negril to start following along….some folks appreciate a good back story)

My first trip to Negril was July of last year so I still consider my self a newby. Some of you may have read my trip report. If you haven’t and you wanna, here is the link to it: http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...port-1st-Timer )

If you did then you know that I loved Negril right off the bat, but sadly that trip did not live up to its full potential due to a party pooping travel companion. I knew I needed to go back for a Re-do, but I didn’t think I would be able to swing it for a couple years…

Fast forward…


I was dating a guy for a couple months around the beginning of the year. We are gonna call him Crikey. It was nothing serious, but I guess he had lots of money to throw around and maybe he thought he would impress me by booking my dream trip to Jamaica as a birthday gift. I was stunned, because to me, something like this is a BIG deal. I thought maybe Too much TOO soon. Ultimately I didn’t really care. Jamaica drowned out anything logical trying to invade my thought process. He mentioned something about booking a big package deal and I said “NO, please let me plan it”. I knew he was the type to book at a big AI so I wanted to take the reins on this because that’s just not my style. Basically there was no budget, so I started out looking at places like Rockhouse and the Caves. Looking back now I am so thankful those did not work out. Finally I had it narrowed down to Sea Grape Villa and Catcha. Ended up booking the Moon cottage at Catcha Falling Star. I had heard so many good things to date about this property and the staff so I was stoked. We would be leaving Sat April 21 and returning Thurs the 26th. I hopped on the board to see about the runnings for the month of April. Looks like a GOOD week to be in town!! Lots of fun stuff in the works…

I noticed a list of boardies a mile long that would be in town. Apparently I had booked our trip for the week leading up to something called a “Boardie Bash”. Excuse my prior ignorance, but I had yet to attend one. In fact I had never met a real life boardie before. As it turns out we would miss the Bash by one day. Bummer. Bright side… I was happy to know there would be some familiar people around to party with. I keep reading the list… Wait, it get’s better….looks like boardies have Catcha almost booked solid for that week! I remember laughing to myself and thinking….I know everyone at this place….and I’ve never met a single one of them. LOL

This is about the time things with ‘ol Crikey get a little sketchy. I didn’t actually “talk” to him for a whole month leading up to the trip. However I did receive several semi-cryptic emails verifying that we were still “on” for Jamaica. How comforting. Clock is ticking….one week before go time and I was getting real irritated and stressed out with the lack of communication. I’m pretty “go with the flow” but it was a little unsettling not knowing if I would still have a ticket, hotel room, or travel companion. Assuming I was on my own, I started trying to make alternative plans for when I got to town. I would still owe half the cost of the hotel upon arrival and I definitely couldn’t afford Catcha rates. Spoke with a boardie friend from TX and he put in some calls to see if he could help me with possible accommodations. BTW Vince, even though things worked out as planned, you really helped me to relax and quit stressing and I thank you!

Counting down the days….so weird…don’t really know what I’m counting down to but whatever happens it’s gonna be FUN!

2 days until Jamaica. I get an email…

“I’m sorry I cannot go on the trip ….blah blah blah”

How rude! But I was so relieved. Couldn’t even imagine going on vacation with this guy. (Although he does make an appearance...u will see) I responded asking if I could pay him back for airfare over the next couple months and he said “don’t worry about it” OK I WONT  I remember calling my bestfriend to tell her what happened and suddenly it hit me. I was really going to Negril in 2 days!!! Then it hit me that I would be going alone. This is a first but it will be fine. I called Catcha to see what to do about the room. Can’t remember if Mauvette or Andrea answered. I told her the situation and she laughed and told me they would be charging the amount to his card anyways so I should just come!! Hahahaha. NO PROBLEM. We laughed.

Checked into the April roll call to update myself as being “solo”. It didn’t take long before I found peace of mind thanks to a really friendly woman known as Marley9808 and a rather funny fellow simply called Booger. “Dont worry about a thing”, they said…and for whatever reason, at that moment I knew every little thing was gonna be alright. LOL Marley and her husband Ninja were going to share a ride from MoBay to Negril with Guirigay and his SweetiPie. They were really kind to extend the invitation to me as well, and I accepted. Fantastic now I have virtually nothing to think about. I was actually feeling relieved that I was going alone and getting more excited, and curious about meeting all these people that had only been a screen name and avatar for the past year. It was a strange thing ya know? I mean WTF is a “Guirigay” anyways??

Hahaha

THANKS CRIKEY :rolleyes:

I stopped following this board for quite a while (unbearable at times to not be able to go) so I am not familiar at all with the April trip reports. More please!

Woohoo, another perspective on the April trips. I will give you full points for 'waiting' until there was a lull in TRs. I really enjoyed your last trip report and this one is off to a great start. Keep it coming!

Oh, and thanks for the Mr. Vegas - it had me dancing in my chair - perfect for the last hour of a Friday workday. I know it is going to be a good weekend now. :cool:

Oh I'd like to add that a free trip sounds pretty awesome! I need some of that luck!

OK, I'm hooked. Especially since I'm heading out by myself in a week. More please.

I am literally sitting at the corner bar right now. All alone. As I am the first off work. Excited to see something substantial to read. Good start tiz.

haha Tizzy, I think that is probably the best breakup story I have ever heard! :p A free trip to Jamaica and paid for by the ex! I remember one time we stayed at the Rockhouse, and met a really nice guy from Boston who had planned to surprise his girlfriend with a week long vacation to the Rockhouse, but sadly found out she was cheating on him a week before the trip. Since he had already booked everything, he decided to go on the trip anyway by himself, and he ended up hanging out with us and our friends and had a really fun time. We all kept telling him it was totally her loss, and he was the lucky one in beautiful Jamaica. Anyway, I just love your writing style, you are so real and write as though you are actually talking to someone. Can't wait to read more! :-) Keep writing!

Please include plenty of photos ....

Now the last thing I expected to read when I signed on today was a Tiz report. Looking forward to seeing it thru your eyes even though I was along for the ride most of the time..... Please continue

My girl Tizzy!!!! I am so excited to read your report. Just logged on from West End and there you are. Love you and hold down the 512 while I am gone.

This has made my whole day
Go Tizzy! Go Tizzy!

Awesome!! Loving it already Tizzy!

And some of the missing pieces in my brain have already fallen in place, lol!

Keep it rolling, girl.

:) loving it!

Tizzy, Keep going. But first, email Crikey and tell him you need another trip to Jamaica. Oh! and how he did you wrong and another trip would help you soooo much to get him out of your head.

OK I just nearly fell out of my chair. Really Tizzy? So psyched for this -- I had been hoping for your story, lost all hope, and now here it is. Now I get to hear your side of the famous tales that you were included in--and am loving it. I read your first report way back when and thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep it coming gal. I never knew this whole back story to how your trip came about--good stuff. And even better that you found yourself on a plane w/out the dickwad--um I mean the dude.
