This was back in the late 90's but I got a 6 month stamp when I arrived. Still stayed almost a year. Hence my board name, LOL. At that time some were travelling to the caymans for a few days, than come back and get another 6 months.
We’ve decided we will visit every bar that sits within a 10 minute walk of the apartment. Previously we hit The German Bar, The Red Dragon and The Corner Bar, a.k.a. The Hooker Bar. By walking to and patronizing these establishments not only will we exercise our legs, but our livers will also get a workout. I’m looking forward to dropping in on the really small bars (the shacks) along the roadside in RedGround.
The German Bar - no German beer or pretzels though.
Ahhhhhh . . . now that's better!
Last nite we dropped into the Cozy Bar, at Cotton Tree. The bar girl there, a young, slim, long legged beauty, was wearing one of the the tightest and shortest dress that I’ve ever seen. Not complaining. Just sayin’. The dress was a shiny material in a geodesic pattern and she wore a big metallic necklace/pendant. Her hair was pulled tightly up and back. Bea said she looked like one of the bartenders in a Star Trek movie.
The music was turned up so loud that we couldn’t talk, so we just sat there and looked around for a while then went up onto the top deck.
This guy guards the bar at The Cozy Bar. Check the teeth!
Then we picked up a couple of tickets for the 5:00pm Cash Pot lottery. I was feeling lucky so I slapped down $200 on #20, because I’d seen three pregnant women during the day, and we’d waited in the Hammond’s Bakery in the morning for about 20 minutes for fresh gizzadas. Both ‘bakery’ and ‘pregnant’ are prime meanings for the #20.
Bea bet $100 on #3 for ‘death’ and another $100 on ‘dog’ because she saw a dead dog on her run at Mandrix corner yesterday morning. That corner just might be the death of me too, before I’m done here.
Check out the link to the numbers guide on the Cash Pot Poster. Its a hoot:

Unfortunately (for us) the winning number was 33, so there’s $400 shot to hell. Interestingly, number 33 has ‘Deportation’ as one of its major meanings. Not that I’m overly superstitious, but I’m kinda worried about that. The whole 90 days versus 97 days visitor Visa has got me thinking. And I’m going to have something to say about that later.
Quick Fact:
I saw some workers up on the roof of the old Negril Yacht Club and heard sounds of work from the inside. Looks like its in the deconstruction phase at this point. Looks like its gonna be fixed up.
The jungle out back. These leaves are so perfect they look like they are made of plastic.

Nice to hear about signs of work at the Yacht Club!
I'm digging your report.
Thanks, IMHO trip reports are one of the best sources of (as Hemingway would say) "the true gen".
Great to hear about the NYC, that was the first place I stayed in Negril.
There is a great secret that goes along with that place.
That rug really tied the room together.
