So we landed in Jamaica. Got picked up. Had a smooth ride into town.

Checked into shields. We booked through a 3rd party. Which took a deposit of 20% they had no record of the deposit at shields. And charged us the full amount. We showed them our bank account where they debited the 20%

No problem. They gave us food credit. Rooms are OK. Bar and pool was nice. The bar and restaurant staff not so friendly. We were the only Americans on the property. So I am assuming we were the only tippers. As I heard it is not customary in Europe to tip. So I am not so sure why they seemed so bleh.

No matter. We never spend much time at our hotel anyway. Breakfasts were good. Rest of the food was kind of crappy. Would not stay there again unless we got the room for 70 dollars or less. AC and cable though. That was nice.

Anyway. We decided that 3 dives was our spot for dinner. We started down the beach road and then up the westend road. Making stops here and there. That is until a crazed lunatic swerved in front of us. With yelling from the passenger side. "Get in. Get in" it was rob and Lisa. Also heading for 3 dives to Web cast.

Had a nice dinner and good times catching up. Both Rob and Lisa are quickly starting to feel like old friends as we see them more often than most of our friends at home. Always a fun time and I can't say enough about how much they care for not only the tourists who visit negril.... but also the people who live there and are basically their neighbors. Negril is a small town when you subtract the tourists.


Anyway. That's all for now. Let me see if I have any pics on the device I am posting from.
