Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
OK you all down in beautiful Treasure Beach who's gonna step up to the plate (for you Canadians that's a baseball term for getting it done HaHaHa) and post some photos and news about the happenings in TB?? You know we are with you in spirit if not in presence!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Hahahahaha......Johng, I think it’s time that you dust off your camera and start regaling us with jamaica through your eye 2020!!!! We are sitting here, packing, unpacking, repacking, well I am, Michael will pack at 1a.m. Wednesday as our ride comes at 2! We have friends that have been down for the past few weeks so we have been living vicariously through them until we hit the island on Wednesday. It’s a blessing and a curse to have this thing called the internet. It’s like you are there, but then reminds you that you aren’t! I will try to post a pic a day, no promises, and you know I really suck at trip reports. Cheers bud, see you at Sunset resort on the 6th for a rum at sunset!?!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Wow hey_mon you got a future as a stand up comedian in the mold of your fellow Canucks John Candy, Mike Myers, Dan Ackroyd, Rick Moranis, Leslie Nielsen, Tommy Chong!!! How about Bob and Doug McKenzie eh??? And how could I forget Jim Carrey?? You F'en Canucks crack me the F**k up!!! Don't get me started with the Newfie jokes, HAHAHA!!! Opps sorry to any Newfies out there it's just a Saturday night here and I'm finishing off a bottle of wine in anticipation of SNL!! Hey_mon Packing?? all you need is your thong bikini, please send pics!! HaHaHa only joking!! Living in the US currently I need some laughs!!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
As a US citizen, what could give you more reason than to bust out of total repression and go to the love and beauty of jamaica!?! Sorry, as a Canadian, and really, we have our political challenges as well, have no room here to poke, but, bust away, let’s go drink some rums and laugh and reminisce...no thongs involved. We will leave those to the kids!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
....and, SNL is a repeat. If you want to do repeats then let’s see you in Jamaica!!! 😁😁😁

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Safe travels! Lol on the packing/unpacking - you would think by now it would be easy. Looking forward to your pictures- we wont hold you to one a day

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Love SNL - but can never get enough of SCTV!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey-mon, you are correct and I would like nothing more than to show up in TB rum bokkle in hand (sort of like the final scene in Shawshank Redemption) any day soon. Things are a bit more complicated than that!! My younger son is getting married in the Czech Republic in April hence my travel breads are pretty well spent. Unless the great Lord helps me win the Lottery I don't see JA in my crystal ball anytime in the near future. So for now your posts and photos will have to do sorry to say.
Rumghoul, I agree with SCTV any day!!

Sounds to me like your spring will be a full one!! Heading east instead of south this year with a great purpose, no less! Must be an exciting time for the family. As mentioned, will try and capture some noteworthy moments, and will walk down and check out the beached sailboat for sure when we are in negril!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
I agree with hey_mon - very exciting time for you johng. Travel is good wherever you land.

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Thanks hey_mon and Rumghoul for your kind words. Yes looking forward to Europe and the travel thereof!! Always checking airfares to JA just to ponder the what if. hey_mon you've been following the sailboat saga on Negril Beach. Something smells fishy with that deal but yes your pics and updates would be awesome!! What are you down to 4 days now?? You must be really amped-up !!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Rumghoul, those pics are very cool!! Brings back some great memories!! Middle pic is that the pond?? Last one from your Villa above your deck?? Wow what a view!!
hey_mon you're flying down Wednesday aren't you? No sleep for you for the next two nights, sort of like a couple days before Christmas when you're a kid. What day is your anniversary?? Walk down the beach to T-Water (where it used to be), close your eyes and pretend it was 33 years ago!! Safe travels and have fun with your crowd!!
-
Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Yep - middle pic the pond and the last one taken from the veranda looking out on sun deck with the super moon that night. After that it was very clear and very dark, so some great star gazing for sure. So now I have you calling Hey_mon yes_mon LOL!!! Hey-mon - safe travels and check in when you can.

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Hahahahaha.......you guys got a laugh out of me for sure here!!! All the different handles, I may have to change my moniker on here! Well I have zipped my suitcase for the last time and am sitting here sipping a glass of wine and watching the clock. Our ride comes at 2:15 a.m. so it will be a short night and long travel day, but we’ll worth the wait! Loved your super moon pic Rumghoul. We will be in treasure beach for the full moon/supermoon on the 9th. I love the light a full moon brings, so here’s hoping it’s a nice clear night! Our anniversary is the 28th so will be nice to be in Negril 33 years later, wandering the beach. So many memories from that night, so much fun, wouldn’t change a thing. We will wander down to the old Twater site, too bad it’s all but gone, and have a twirl in the sand for old times sake. Will also check on the sailboat and give a progress report. Cheers!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon (I got it right this time) - Well - you are well on your way. It is cold and snowy here - wish I were on the flight with you! Congrats on 33 years. We hit 38 this year - heading to New Orleans to celebrate in May. I guess we were both child brides!
Enjoy - I know you will.

TheAttachment 54453Attachment 54455Attachment 54456Attachment 54457 vegetation is lush in the yard, the beach is beautiful as ever for a good morning walk and look what’s still in “dry dock”. I think Gail should claim squatters rights and open a sail away bar on board!!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, Happy Anniversary! You done good!!
Thanks for all the great pics, really like the shot out the plane window!! Yea what's going on with the sailboat?? I wonder what will be found below deck when somebody checks it out??
Headed to TB tomorrow? Have a nice party tonight and safe travels to TB. Say hi to Kory from me if you're in that neighborhood. In any event keep us up to speed on the runnings over there. Be cool!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Grest pics!! Happy anniversary
-
Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, by now you must be settled into your full Jamaica runnings after a couple of days on Negril Beach!! How is it there these days? Is the SOE still in force?
Anyway bet you all are happy to be in Treasure Beach!! Have fun!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Having a hard time uploading pics! Had an amazing three days in Negril, but that was enough. Went out to visit a friend who is mid way through a Reno/rebuild way our in the west end, had an amazing dinner at Swordfish on our anniversary. Michael had the kingfish and I had the lobster Mac and cheese. Had a meal at sweet spot the night we arrived and ate at Chicken Lavish. Beach is as beautiful as ever and if the SOE is on it was very unnoticeable in our travels. Got into treasure beach at one yesterday and are loving the more chill vibe here. Took our group of 12 and walked to Jack Sprats for dinner, gave them the lay of the land and tonight we dine on site compliments of our hosts Andrea and Axl, the owners of Marblue! Went for a callaloo and cheese omelette at Eggys and I think it’s a pool day for now. Venture out later for a pattie maybe, we will see.....the possibilities are endless!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, very happy to hear you have fun in Negril!! Glad to know that you had a safe trip and are now grooving in TB!! I say you can't beat it as a vaca spot! Really well kept secret! Truly a "Little Piece Of Heaven"!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, I just got an e-mail from Kory and he said it's an awesome day in TB today although what day isn't an awesome day there? I told him there is a wild gang from Winnipeg in town and to be on the lookout!! Don't know if anybody in your group are fishermen or not but Kory and his captain always catch big fish. Kingfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi to name a few. Not sure the cost involved but I imagine it's reasonable!! Lot's of fun to say the least. If you happen to pass by there please stop in and say hello from me. Enjoy your days and nights and keep us posted. Irie

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Glad you had a good time in negril and made it to tb safely. Have another callaloo and cheese omelet for me!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, thanks for taking the time to share the view at lunch and it looks like a gorgeous day !! It's 11am here so it must be noon in JA? I really enjoyed the food at Sunset and as I recall the prices are fair. Have a great lunch and have a Red Stripe for me. Have fun!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
hey_mon, thanks very much for the Irie vibes from Jamaica!! That first image of Pelican Bar is that a photo or a photo of an image of it?? Cool in any event and seeing the dolphin brings good luck!! Well maybe you get lucky and can't leave the island?? Don't know about the Prairies but this F'en virus is getting crazy here in the States. I just heard they identified somebody in Kingston in the past day or two?? Anyway forgive the bad vibe. Look at the bright side you have St. Paddy's Day to look forward to on Tuesday not that you need any excuses to scoff a few Guinnesses. HaHaHa!!!
Have a safe trip home and stay healthy!!

Re: Treasure Beach 2020 Who’s Down When???
Just enjoying my cup of coffee in a cool mountain breeze kind of way, smelling breakfast being cooked and wishing we were stranded here, however, our flight is on its way down so assuming they will take us all back. The virus is now on the island with 8 confirmed cases, all from travellers from the uk and such. We have one confirmed case in Manitoba and three presumptive, which I assume means possible but no positive results as yet. Apparently we have zero toilet paper in our stores. So nice to see the sheeple being idiots. Have checked in with my workplace and I am good to go back Monday morning, so life will resume. The pic of pelican bar is an actual picture I took as we were pulling up, but I put a funky filter on it, so that might be why it looks like a copy. And sooooo many dolphins came swimming by, probably a dozen or so. Moms and babies, several groups, so close we could have touched them off the side of the boat! Had a great stay in treasure beach as usual, so many laughs and friendships made, sad to leave but always ready to return!

Random pics......gals having some bevies while the guys listened to the Jets and Oilers game, who knew it would be our last game for a while, and a round of dirty bananas that may have led to some full moon skinny dipping shenanigans ��
