Nice pictures thank you for sharing your trip.

Two hours to get your food at Canoe?? Say it ain't so. My friends and I waited nearly three hours on New Years Eve 2012. It was faster this past December but the dish I picked was by far my worst meal on the trip. I do not understand the raves this place get as the only thing I have enjoyed there are their French fries.

hence why I think I will never eat there again, but I do see they have a new chef. It is a good spot to have a cold beer during the day.

I concur with that Booger, of all the food I've ever ordered in Jamaica since "82, that place was the longest I've waited for. Well over 2hrs for 2 grilled chicken breast sandwiches. Without any apologies from wait staff.

Ok... So as we are at Gracie's a bunch of kids were getting home from school. We just had to share some stickers with them

They were so sweet..back on the bus. Next stop Sunset after Dark. Drinks were good and not expensive. The one girl had blender issues which was pretty funny cause as fast as she poured in the booze it ran out of the blender.

Next stop was Sword Fish Restaurant. I left my mark pretty much wherever we went

I had ice cream here and it was good. Really nice looking bar actually. I talked to the guy in the kitchen and they were making something with Oxtail. It smelt really good.
Back on the bus now I forget the name of this next place...it looked high end to me. I added my mark to their dinner sign

The music was starting as we were leaving which was too bad.
Two more stops. Xtabi

We went down to the caves here..pretty cool..chatted up the kitchen staff again. I love talking and it's fun to chat with the staff of a place too. I find a lot of them have been at the same place die many years. And I swear...pretty much every man you meet offers to be your "friend". Lol.. Seriously mon...have a sunset pic but it's not great

Posting a pic of myself..not flattering at all but I look really happy..cause I am! Kind of hung out with two couples from England..they were a blast.

One more stop. Bella Donnas. She Served up some pizza..bought a bracelet from a young girl here which I lost about five minutes later...no pics on my camera ..

Ride back was much more lively. Actually I thought it needed a little more so I squeezed my way to the front and taught a little Zumba class . All good.. The Brits loved it..

Back at the Rondel and the band was playing..not very good until a guest singer joined them. I ended up dancing the night away with a couple I met from Holland, the bartenders girlfriend..and well..mostly myself! My husband had an early night and I promised my friends I would not leave the premises..and I was a good girl

The dinner was great! Had breakfast there today and it was cheap and good. My favourite so far.

I agree w Seveen - stop Ras Husmo with the crazy hair and look at his artwork. He has a heart of gold and is a great guy to chat with.

Hopefully I'll run into him again then. I've only seen him once since I got here.
