    **Off-site Trip Report [[ part #1 ]]

    * sigh *

    i HATE these OFF-site reports

    :-(

    they're harder to do,
    and they *feel* different

    'tis a LOT better (for me) when i'm THERE and in-the-moment

    * sigh *

    oh well
    so it goes
    .
    .
    let us begin:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

    Last Wednesday/Thursday,
    knowing I was soon-leave-ing,
    i scurried over-to Negril
    to get a hair-cut and beard-trim,
    'cause the in-foreign prices were too-too expensive (for me)
    and my Negril barber IS the best-est in the world/galaxy.

    after jumping out of the route-taxi,
    i paused at the round-about to shoot this video::::::::::::::::::::::
    .
    .

    .
    .
    f.y.i..... early last week, the party-signs, placards, etc started popping up ALL over the place (including in Lucea). Once again, the island is coming alive, and getting ready to BLOW-UP with the ValentinesDay festivities.

    they loooooooooooooooooooooove ValentinesDay in Jamaica.
    sometimes, i *think* ValentinesDay is bigger than Christmas.

    [[ continue-ing ]]

    that day, my barber was off-duty

    :-(

    Jamaica is a tricky place, when it comes to when a business is open and when it's closed.

    for a foreigner like me, this is a weird circumstance, and takes a lot of mental effort to navigate all those who's open who's closed and when peculiarities:::: it's really confusing & frustrating.

    for example,
    HurryHurry (aka Sinclairs) is closed on Thursday (or is it Wednesday) to let the employees have a day off, in order to have a full-staff for the prime-time weekend selling.

    a lot of other Jamaica business do this, too.... some Wednesday ... some choose Thursday.

    THEN,
    there's the 7thDayAdventist businesses which close on Saturdays.,... and but some will open on Sunday (such as Mr.Browns Hardware in Lucea)
    .
    .
    .
    While in Negril,
    i remembered a seeing post about Cherrios, earlier that day, before i left for Negril.

    so,
    i peeked into HiLo to see whagwan.
    .
    .
    .


    .
    .
    yep yep

    Cherrios were there, and a whole bunch of other from-foreign stuff was in there, TOO..!!!..

    * whew *

    after being on-island for 4-weeks,
    and shopping in Lucea and other Jamaica China-man supermarkets, and other places,
    this HiLo visit scared the bee-jee-zus out of me.

    it was like being in another country --- a foreign country.... NOT Jamaica (as I'd been experience-ing)

    :-(

    my my my
    you/me/we-foreigners in these tourist towns, like Negril, are so-spoiled....!!!..

    i could NOT believe what i was seeing on the HiLo shelves.

    while in HiLo,
    i remember-ed my To-Do list and the *need* to compare & contrast the HiLo produce with what's available in Lucea-market and other non-tourists places.

    * sigh *

    ____No comment____

    :-(

    but,
    let me just say this::::>> Folks ..... go to Sav, Lucea, SOME-place(?) else to do you produce shopping.

    * sigh *
