Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
Apparently our plane has decided to sleep in since it's not at the gate. I wish I could have slept in also.
A delay of one hour. *sigh* Should have had another Bloody Mary.
Finally able to board, and just as we were about to step into the plane we hear
"Excuse me, do you mind waiting so the mechanic can go first?"
WHAT??
Why is there a mechanic going onto the plane and shouldn't he be looking at the engines and stuff?
Finally touch down in MoBay and through customs fast. Out the door and we take our first breath of the unique smell that is Jamaica to me....gas fumes, salt air, jerk and ganja.
We're taking the Knutsford Express to Port Antonio and they have a new office right at the airport, drop our bags off and grab some Red Stripes.
*sigh* I'm in my happy placeAttachment 50786
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
GREAT start Maralunatic!!!!! This is gonna be an epic report...I can feel it. Yes that first smell of Jamaica is all the "welcome" greeting I need. Thank you soooo much for posting. Just what I need on this day full of ice, cold falling snow!!! URGH! Please keep it coming.
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
Thanks *Vi*
I'll keep posting as much as my work schedule will allow and yes it was interesting as all get out.
Does anybody know why my picture shows up sideways?
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
We decide to have a few more Red Stripes, and then head over to catch the bus only to be informed that "the 5:00 bus will be delayed for one hour"
Noooooooo.....
Luckily the buzz from the beer keeps me happy.
I wish we could have enjoyed the scenery on the way to Port Antonio, but tiredness and the fact that it was dark ensured I napped on the way. We finally pulled into PA at 10:30 at night, grabbed a taxi and FINALLY arrived at Tim Bamboo. Thank God someone was still at the desk so we could check in. Needless to say, after traveling for so long it was right to bed, and looking forward to our first day on this side of the island.
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
So excited to hear yours!! My short trip was PHENOMENAL thanks to VI. Keep it coming !!
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
Maralunatic, I hear you on the lonnnnnnng day of traveling. That's why whenever possible I fly into Kingston. Cuts out a little over 2 hours of traveling time. I hope that bed was super comfortable for you and Mr. Lunatic. Yes, keep it coming!!!

Re: A Tale of Two Seasons

Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
I totally Would do one but i left My phone on the knutsford express so i literally Have about 3 pictures from our jam packed day there 😢 still trying to convince my bf to take me back in September. I do Have an amazing review about San Sky BnB!
@maralunatic were you guys able to leave your luggage at the knutsford station ?! I always fly in MBJ because it’s 2hrs vs 6hr flight with stops to Norman but my flight usually arrives 1230 so about 115 after customs just wanted to get some lunch at scotchies before the long ride. Is it possible?
Re: A Tale of Two Seasons
Vacationlovaa, in answer to your question, I have left my luggage at the office many times. Once you check-in, your bags are tagged and put to the side. I usually go to Pier ! until it's time to leave.
So sorry about leaving your phone. Did you contact them to see if it were found?
