I get there on Feb 21, exactly 2 weeks. I can't wait to get to the tropics, I swear, old man winter is pissed off this season. Snow banks are taller than me here, and I'm not 4'12 either.
Since we get there on a Friday, we'll be up late, my plan is to wing the first night at Roots. Come Saturday, we're gonna troop around, see how we feel and land where the the vibe and mood takes us. My girls been reading these posts as well, so she's well aware of what she's getting into and is looking forward to checking out Roots. We're minimalist, frugal, we aren't BMW, Mercedes people, we're Honda, Toyota types, and spend at most 6hrs in the room each day. She can deal with the aggressive men and hustlers and understands foreign girls are always a hot commodity. Even I love hooting and hollering at the foreign chicks. Nice to hear their accents and a bit about their culture, and some of 'em are real sexy too.
Jennnn - Some amazing information and perspective you've provided. Also, what a great vivid review, reading it was as if I was walking through the place and can picture it come to life in my head. It does sound pretty cool, guess I won't be seeing any Picasso's on the walls there, but I might catch some goonies who look like they just jumped out of a Vybz video.
Booger - The west end and those cliffs do look gorgeous, some of the properties are just astonishing. Blue Cave Castle is unique, I am really feeling how that spot looks. But we are looking for a very beachy vacation, I think it would be better for us to be close to the beach, and do a day trip or 2 and some sunsets in the west end.
Drifter - You lucky man can't believe you'll be there in a week, I don't know how much of this winter crap I can take, I personally just want to be in Jamrock already. Are you taking it easy or planning to tear up your last Friday night? If you're tearing it up, let me know if you found any good parties popping that night, maybe we'll bump heads there.
