Booger, you and your beautiful wife are good people!
When I created the Negril Message Board on July 31st, 1997, it was something I knew was needed so that all the folks that had been emailing me would be able to be able converse with each other, and plus it would cut down on my email load.... (grin)

Little did I know that the "Boardie" phenomenon would arise so quickly that within 1 week I would need to upgrade the server because "wi mashed up da machine mon!" The traffic on our Negril Message Board had surpassed most traffic anywhere on the internet back then.

It is a privilege to create a place for so many people who share an interest in Negril to come together and meet each other, be it here online or in person in Negril, or even in their hometowns!
We have had thousands of people come and go over the years, and we have lost some dear friends, from 2Negril to most recently Nick. We miss all of them - they had become like family.
I have had the incredible opportunity to meet, heck, probably well over 100,000 of you over the past 19 years of Negril.com - and that has been a wonderful thing to experience.
And all this has been made possible by the fact that you "Boardies" have felt comfortable enough to join our Negril.com online family through our Negril Message Board. You write to each other, you are helpful answering questions and you form friendships that can last a lifetime.
Thank you all!
Negril.com - For the vacation that never ends!
Big ups Booger, Rob, and all Negril.com
Kidrick, my buddy....
great post, booger...
my first time to negril in 09, we found negril.com about a week before we went....we stayed at grand pineapple, and wondered around aimlessly...had such a great time, we havent vacationed anywhere else...by the time our next trip rolled around, because of the board, we were not staying AI, we were doing webcasts, pub crawls, route taxis, cheap red stripes and food, like we had been going for years.....all because of the trip reports, the lovely pictures everyone posts, the sharing of info when deals pop up....and all the great people I have met came from this board....

Negril.Com has the Real folks who know Negril,unlike the "vanilla boring" Trip Advisor of which I was expelled from 5 years ago?
Lovely post!.
Hi Boogs. It was so great to meet you and Pooper and your daughter and your mother and Tizz and her kids this Dec. What a surprise to see you coming through the gate at Nirvana and recognizing you from trip reports here. Just awesome
