Can't stop thinking about Jamaica. Have to wait two more months until i leave. I think it will be my 25th or 26th trip. I'm looking forward to morning swims and afternoon rains and smiles from old friends and redstripes and 3dives and curry goat and nothing to do with reggae and dance hall everywhere. I've been away too long sweet Negril
ya goatman, it sounds like you're gettin' in the spirit .... where you stayin?
My name is Donna and I am ADDICTED to Jamaica! LOL It will pass by quiclky, and so will your vacation~~
mi name is Marko........and mi a Negril Addict........lol
Cool Runnings, Marko
My name is Shauna (some people call me Marley). I am addicted to Negril!
And I don't want to be cured :)
Addicted for 21 years now ... and 28 trips. Just got back last Thursday and can't get it out of my mind ... if you have it, you know, if you don't, no one can explain it to you. Missing my Island in the Sun!
That,s all I hear from Mr Stuck...Jamaica Jamaica Jamaica.He only listens to Jamaican music,reads both Jamaican news papers on line every day.I do beleave these trips are the only thing that gets him thru every day life.But in a way its sad,he see's no other beauty in his life.Dont get me wrong I love it also but I can find beauty in my life every day here in the states also !
There are times (very infrequently) when I wish I had never gone the first time.. My life has not been the same since, and I am still assessing whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing. Every once in a while wonder "what if I had all of the money in one lump sum, back that I have spent on Jamaica??" Airfares, hotels, tips, gifts taken there, gifts brought back, food, bar, entertainment, watersports, massages, excursions. I might even be a millionaire. But do I want it back REALLY???? Will it stop me from the next time???? Probably not.
When I got back that first time my head was spinning. WHen I came back this time (trip #59), my head was spinning. Welcome to the club.
I name is Captain Oil .............. I'm a JA addict for 33 years .......... too many trips to count ............. can't wait to return ............ after trip #1, told best friend I can't go a single day with thinking about the next trip ............. still true to this day ! ! !
Lots of oldtimers on this board....I love hearing how long or how many trips everyone's taken...or coming up for the first time!!! Carry on...please... :)
#23 coming up in February. I think of Jamaica every day!
Roy the "reggae fool" here. 30 years of traveling to Jamaica. Unfortunately, only 9 reaches (so far). More to come.
Hard to think about anything else but that lovely island and the people!
I'm a Negrilaholic as well. I've been travelling yearly and sometimes twice a year since 2003. Mi soon come...the week of August 22nd!
That's me to the letter and year.The only difference is I want be there in August,but I was there in June-sweet Jamaica.Quote:

Hi I’m Daisy and I’m a Newbie Negril Addict. The addiction started this year after my first trip to Jamaica in April. I'm completely captivated. My friends and family do not fully understand. I can’t explain it to them.
I just know that I NEED to go back.
Second trip is coming up in April.. Still 267 days away...
Don't get me wrong. I love the place i live and it is really beautiful here and i try to live it to the fullest but i get in these moods where i want to be in my spiritual homeland. i look at old pictures and read other peoples trip reports. i know i'm lucky i get to go as much as i do but right now it feels like its been a long time and like sept 21 is still a long way off. i feel like Jamaica restores my Spirit somehow. I cant wait to step off that plane....
I'm staying at the Palms this time and i'm going to 3dives for curry goat and jerk chicken and redstripes the first night !
I'm a Negril addict, too! I can't think of any other place I'd rather go. I think I finally got my husband hooked...during our vacation this summer he looked at me and said, "I really don't know why we wasted our vacation here, we should just go to Jamaica every time!"
Been to JA several times prior to visiting Negril for the first time this past March. Loved it so much returning in November, along with some friends. Just hope they love it as much as we do.
Leaving Saturday for around trip 30 lost count. With 15 yr old son think its his 14th. time. 1989 was the first then 91, 94 Hedonism, then kids! Not again until Boscubel Beach 2000 Than pretty much every year at least once. 2010 being the most trips so far as I was there 6 times. This trip will be the 3rd. for 2011, so I would say I have a problem.
I've been going at least once a year since April of '99. This past May was my 16th or 17th trip, I've lost count. Standing on the tarmac in MoBay the first time I felt something so strong. Repeated trips confirmed that feeling as "home". In 2003 I met my Jamaican born and raised Empress here in Minneapolis and after that I was no longer a tourist, I was family. We return again in December for a friends wedding and can hardly wait. Jamaica, land I love.
