My boring old guy report ;)
Well flying thru Boston and then stopping at the megamart on a Saturday (duh) meant for a slow start. I get in around 5pm at LTU, and I met Luca, the owner, for the first time and the first thing he ask was if I was hungry cause their kitchen was closing soon cause of the on coming storm. I ordered the stuffed fish and was very happy! The storm never hit so I mixed up stripes and dirty bananas. Then i wandered to Lesa's bar to meet and drink with some great folks.
The next day I represented the buffalo bills but I couldn't find anyone that was broadcasting it while it's not on local cable in my room. So I followed it with the ESPN gamecast and suffered thru the loss. To exercise the demons, I walked down to natural music and hung out with Marcus and Paul. Markus showed me that they can get any NFL game on their new giant flatscreen TV. And then I caught a route cab back to ltu for a great pizza dinner.

Does anyone have the NFL ticket in Negril currently? Beach or West End?

OK, so with rain I decided to ventured down to the beach. Glad to see my Bills represented. My man Barry (1 (876) 434-2071, he's great!), took me down and i stopped at Woodstock, roots (was dead), Tony's hut(was closed... sad), Sunnyside(great cold beer!!), Alfred's (dead) and Flag city (great lobster!!!).

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
Ukran1ans,
Good to hear you are out and about on the beach and cliffs!
Tony was working last week when I stopped by Tony's Hut. Wonderful afternoon listening to Tony.
Alfred's was open and Alfred was onsite last week. I'm guessing they both closed due to weather.
Say hi to Nash at Flag City! That was a nice looking lobster lunch!
Good to hear Delory is playing live music at Mi Yard! Please give my best to Loyd, Ricardo and Pablo!
Enjoy,
VVHT aka Happy

Well I was in need of some sand gravity so I got a ride from Niah, work's out of Ltu, down to sun Beach. When I walked in to the beach area, I was happy to see my friend Milton, the bartender there(he used to work at Tony's hut but was a covid casualty). I came in with my Bubba cup and some rum and cokes but eventually graduated to red stripes from Milton and had a nice chicken salad for lunch. The patty guy showed up for a nice afternoon snack. The water was pretty wavy but fun to wade in.

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
Oh man, you're killin' me! That's exactly what we do on our beach days. We've known Niah for years. He picks us up at MJB when we come in and
brings us back to LTU. Then on beach day he brings us down to Sun Beach and picks us up later. When I saw your pics it was like deja vu. I sit at the corner of the bar in the background and chat with the bar person. And i know that inside that blue phone box there is a tin can tied to a string! Can you tell i'm jones'n? Tell Niah hello from Preston and Kathleen in New Orleans.

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
You may qualify as one of us old guys, barely but this is no way a boring report. Thank you! It was great having an on-site hurricane report. I’d love to hear your thoughts about leaving white sands (beach) for a stay on the cliffs.

Simple, it's closed in Sept.. lol. But I'm actually finishing my trip there when they reopen in Oct. As for 'qualifying as an old guy',, I turned 60 a couple of weeks ago and have officially crossed over to 'the dark side' :biggrin-new::biggrin-new::biggrin-new:

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
Well Rob and I finally caught up with each other and did a mini crawl. Starting at my Ltu, we stopped at Lesa's bar, then No Limit, then Natural Mystic (Rob then left and I stopped at MiYard)

Ukran1ans, don't let cliff or beach gravity slow down the posts and photos!
Welcome to the dark side.

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
Well I was back on the beach at sun beach today getting in some more sand gravity (a few European couples around, which seems to be the norm this week). The last couple of hours, though, I spent walking the beach and wound up at Tony's to get a couple of cold ones from Julie

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
OK, I made the move to White Sands pretty easily. Mike met me at the office and announced that I was the 1st guest of the new season for them. They are still in the process of opening up the hotel and there was a slight mix up for me but I got rewarded with a Deluxe room with a view of the ocean. Their kitchen wasn't open yet so I wandered down to Coco LAPalm for a nice breakfast. A little clobbers just hit now now so I'm waiting it out on my falcony with my Bubba cup of rum and Coke Till it breaks and I can finally get down to the beach for some sand gravity

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
Last night I had to wander over to Best In The West for a jerk chicken dinner. This morning i had a pineapple/ banana waffle brunch at White Sands for breakfast. Today I was thinking of tracking down the Bills game but decided to stay on the beach for sand gravity to enjoy, easily, the best weather of my trip.

Re: My boring old guy report ;)
I used to say White Sands was the best kept secret for the $ but now everyone seems to know....what a great value place it is.
