Little trip report.

She's a tough little bugger that's for sure. I guess that's because she is 1 of 8 siblings.

Flip, that was an epic 12hr round trip tour of the west. we were up past 3am. i can only imagine the pain you all endured the next day.
i have some pics of you on stage, you want me to post them?

[Flipadelphia26]

Great times for sure though and a pleasure meeting you.

Last day on the island.

We had told our driver to pick us up around 9. Our flight was not until 2:30, but we wanted to take our time and poke around before heading into the airport.

We stopped at a road side stand called "Cold beer joint" We had fresh coconut water and Overproof to kick off the day. I hadn't planned on boozing at all, but I will tell you what... This concoction completely destroyed any feeling of hangover I had.

Hung out for about 35 40 mins, and then off to mobay. We got to mo bay around 11:00 and we decided to hit Jerky's for lunch. As always it was very good. They had an EPL soccer match going and some locals and our driver were all very interested.

Sadly this was the last taste of Jamaica we would be getting until April. I havent had this tough of a time dealing with leaving since the first time I went to Negril. Luckily we already have our air, and soon our hotel, booked for April. That's only a few months from now.

Airtran, is the only airline in MoBay that doesnt allow you to self checkin. It is a complete joke. We waited in line for an hour. We decided to grab club MoBay passes. great decision. We got through security really quickly and relaxed at the bar while watching the AFC Championship game.

For 35 bucks a person, the value is unmatched. If you plan on getting food and drink in the terminal.. You are looking at spending about 20 dollars a person anyway. Why not spend the extra 15 to get comforts of the lounge?

I yelled "Watch out for the Bamboo!" right before the picture was taken. That was the theme of the trip, more than ever "Great for your bamboo mon" "Puts lead in your pencil mon" And the proprietor of that shop was very keen on everything he had doing that.

Way to go. Nice report.

I knew that Cold Beer Joint pic in your first post looked familiar. I've passed it before, but never stopped there. So they pour the overproof directly into the coconut water?

Excellent report, Flip! I will be sure to pay it forward when we land on the rock in 6 days. I've had about enough of the crap weather we've been having in Philly.

[Flipadelphia26]

Yep. He opens the coconut and asks if you want rum in it. Pours it right in. It's delicious.

Great little trip report! I have to try rum in a coconut.
