More, more . . .
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.
And no. The wifi on airtran is too slow.

Thanks bud. We are home. Waiting curbside for the parking bus. Balmy 34 degrees
After a long first night, where we over did it... (usually happens night one) were up and ready to hit the beach by 9:00. That might seem pretty early, but for us it isn't. I usually am up and out of bed before 6:00 am. So we actually slept in.
We had breakfast at the hotel. The breakfasts were pretty good. 2 Eggs, Bacon, 2 slices of fruit and a basket of toast.
After breakfast was over we headed up the beach toward sea splash. This would be the first and only time we made it as far as sea splash. We made it up there by about 11am. Sat down for our first dirty banana of the trip.
Strolled down to Wild Parrot, which is now SunQuest (Which may have been the name prior?) Same waitress, new bartender. I hear Richie is in MoBay somewhere.
After that, we grabbed some lunch at Sun Beach and hung out for about 2 hours or so.
Then down to Tony's where hung out with a very enthusiastic Canadian who lurks here occasionally.
After that we made our way down to sunny side for about an hour or so.
then down to Alfreds where we saw the sunset. I have some great pics of this sunset, that I will put in the next post.
After that we hit the Yellow bird for some more dirty bananas.
Then down to Bourbon Beach for about an hour or so.
Then down to our hotel, where we decided to hit hay a little early (10 PM by now). As the next day would be my 30th Birthday bash.
For some reason this beach tour sounds familiar, almost like I have done that before?
Trip #59 most of February
