    Thanks for posting OD, loving this report and pics. It's a whole different experience with the kiddos huh?

    Wondering, how far is the drive to Mayfield Falls, it looks so cool.... I like YS but it's just too damn far and after a few times seems like a waste of a day.

    Mason was the nicest guy on the beach. We spent half an hour talking with him and admiring his craft. We tipped him a little for his time. We'd already purchased two carvings off Bruce a few huts down so unfortunately this trip we didn't buy from Mason. But next year definitely. Enjoying your pictures and report. Thanks

    Tizzy,

    Depending on traffic, which back roads you take and the condition of the roads... it takes anywhere from 50 minutes to an 1 & 1/2 hours. Add stops along the way and it could be more time. I prefer to arrive around noonish and then have a late lunch after the river walk. Check the weather and water level before you go. Water level is important with small kids, if it is too high and the current too swift, the kids might not have such a good time. Also, if the water level is too low it might not be as fun.

    Enjoy,

    VVHT

    After the long day trip we went home and hung out for an hour or so. Once showered and dressed we headed to Canoe for dinner. Have seen things to the contrary here but I highly recommend it. Yes it was slow, but there was a band playing and everyone was having a good time. There was a table of 20 ladies there so I assumed that was why. No problem. In Jamaica even the kids are patient. The waitress brought us a few snacks for the table to keep the kids occupied, Some breads and a fruit platter. The steel drum band had one member we were familiar with. He is in some earlier pictures and stopped at the firefly to jam for us every few days. All partys involved would vote canoe as the 2nd best meal we had in Negril. I would rate our dinner top 4 in this order. 1. Ivans 100 candles. already said It all. 2. Canoe bar. tasty great vibe. everyone happy. 3. Italian café. Good pastas and great pizza, also nice ambience and looked like the place locals take a girl to impress and romance. 4. 3 dives great bbq jerk and seafood, only issue was limited menu with not much for the kids. After canoe we went back to room. went on the patio for a smoke and drink and when I came back wife and kids were all sleeping. Off to Alfreds and Burbon beach for me!!! Now this is something else I have to tell you about. Willie. Willie was a driver from the treehouse I met on the first night when I had a drink there. That night he talked me into going out with him to bourbon beach. I was down to my last 2000j on me and told him so. He drove me, didn't charge me, and refused a beer from me. But hung out and had fun with me. He was there for the girls and was romancing hard but not having any luck. He was looking, I wasn't, but all the locals would tell him they were more interested in the Canadian. Felt bad for him. But wha surprised me was that on this day a week later, after running into him for the 3rd time, he hung out with me and drove me home when I was loaded and still refused any money from me. A true friend and if any of you are at the treehouse please ask for Willie at the bar. Tell him Patrick sent you. He is one honest, straight talking guy. Will watch out for you and not grind you for money. He likes going out at night so will join you anytime and keep an eye on you. Thought I had his card but cant find it. go to treehouse beach bar and ask for him. Best local run around guy. And well on the topic if you want to go up to redground and visit all the little local drinking hole call steve positive. he lives up there and when he took me everyone treated me with respect and watched out for me. Even in the no name bar mentioned by Kahuna because Steve has lived there his whole life.
