Murph's Trip Report... new places, old faces and ROOKIE mistakes!!!

[murph]

what happened... well... on the way we stopped at a little place shown here to drain the red stripe tanks and a quick stop at Juicy Js in Sav. First time stopping at one of these (and probably the last)



On the way we spotted a Jamaican logging truck. Quite different than the ones in Maine...



We are getting closer and closer to Treasure Beach... and we pass a show sign on a utility pole.

Oh my heart lifts a little... "who is it?" "whats the date?" "where?..."

We pass it again and I have Linston brake and back up. It was a sign for the legend FREDDIE MCGREGOR. Sure thats great... but the dates would never line up with mine... oh wait the sign says 'Nov 29th' our last night on the island! Even better... it says its in Treasure Beach. Better yet... its only 3 bucks! Woot woot! (insert airhorn!!!!!)

REGGAE TIME A COMETH

We make it to the Treasure Beach community and arive at our home for the next four days- the rasta owned Kudeyha Guesthouse www.kudehya.com

Murph, two things. I usually go to Treasure Beach but am going to Negril in 3 weeks for a visit. I'd appreciate your taxi list, either here or in a PM. And I'm guessing that you do, but I hope you've checked out Treasurebeachdotnet for info. I've stayed near where you're at, but if you make it down to Frenchman's Bay, check out Eggy's Beach Bar and also have a breakfast at Smurf's, a few chains up from the Treasure Beach Hotel. Dawn's a fantastic cook (and she sells Dawn roasted coffee beans). Have a good time and leave some Red Stripe for the February crew. If you're there Saturday, check out the lunch at M & D Grocery. Absolutely great Conch soup and cheap jerk, but Saturday's only and he'll sell out well before dinner.

Hey Seveen- thanks for reminding me! One thing I hate is a quitter! (especially when it comes to trip reports) hahaha

Thanks Murph. I'm laminating myself. You may have drivers nearby in Great Bay but I recommend Pete whose wife is a partner in Diner's Delite @ 876-834-3591 or 876-450-4742 and Chris aka Strikey T @ 876-522-2606. Strikey T has a restaurant in Billy's Bay, quite a haul from you but he does offer pick-up service. He bops around while he cooks and is just a great all around guy.

By the time we got there- the day was already behind us. So we decided to venture out to Jack Sprats for some grub and dranks. Food was okay but while we were there we talked with the waitress and she got us in touch with a boat captain who was able to take us out the next day. He said he would meet us close to where Kudeyha is to pick us up at ten a.m. So we called it an early night.

Wifey got caught again with the substiMoogy
