landed @ 11:05 Jamaica time
and out the airport door in quick quick fashion

'twas the sweetest zip-zip thru customs/immigrations i've ever experienced

more on all that pre-arrival/flight stuff later

right now, i'm too-too tired
...only 'bout 10 hours sleep over the past 4 days
.......long story

nevertheless, about 1-hour ago
i was recline-ing on my bed in-country
almost dozing off
...listening to my landlord fill me in on all the *stuff* that's gone-down since I left

* Wow *

IF i were to post the stuff he told me, your computer would blow-up
I'd be banned from the board, Negril, & Jamaica

but of course, moi beign moi do-tend to chat-too-much
so,
stay tuned
i've got some hum-dingers
...AND:::>> i've only been here 6+ hours

anyhooooooooo.....
moving right along

i was sleepy
super sleepy

but had to get-TO Lucea town to pick-up a few things
and to handle some bizness::::::>> e.g., a Ja$100 phone card, some munchies, a few toilet items, and other this & thats

details later

oh
oh
oh::>> I do got some pics for you-all
nice stuff
AND:::>> this trip:::>there WILL be nuff videos
lol
lol
lol
lol
lol
*we* gonna have some fun with this trip report
lol
lol
lol
Trust me..!!!..

anyhoo...

skipping over some stuff to get back to & post later
lemme say this::::>> in brief, the *plan* for this trip *was* suppose to "..Do NOTHING.." [period]

NOT one cotton pickin' ting-y

but, for some reason
un-be-knownst to me
if/when i still & be quiet, and lay-low for 5 itty-bity minutes, something or somebody(s) in-evitable-ly *pops* up to mash-up my *plan*

* sigh *

for example:::>. 'member:::>> i was tired
vision blurry
stumble-ing as i walk
don't know my name
draggin' along
brain dead

then::>> it dawned on me:::>> i was hungry
Duh..!!..

you-see, prior to leaving
i'd been doing some a serious fasting thing-y

my system is clean clean clean
from lots of fresh fruits, veggies, juices

the problem with this pre-trip practice is that when you get hungry, you REALLY get hungry, and if you don't eat something you can feel sleepy.

so,
as a consequence, my entire alimnetary(?) canel is empty-empty
...the stewardests on the airplane can verify, if you don't believe me
.....'cause i walked up & down that aisle quite a few times

anyhoooo...

i saw the orange man
we exchanged fist-bumps
".Welcome back."
he peeled
i gave him Ja $30

oh
oh
oh:::>> money-wise

this trip today's exchange rate is the same as it was from my last trip
....i have my notes/journal/daily expense data

again::>> as with the last, the plan is US Ja $20 per day
shouldn't be too hard
prices so far, seem 'bout the same for most stuff

so,
i'm sucking my orange

a *new* Lucea-face circles me
...at least, the *face* was new to mehe's watching me

i ignore him

oh
oh
oh::::>> i've got to shoot a '.sucking orange video.' for you-all

soon come

continueing

circle-ing guy finally makes his move

wants ME to buy him an orange

i lean over
really really close to his ear
and whispers:::>>> "..No.... sorry.."

"..Why.."

"..'cause i don't have the money."

he frowns & moves away
..and is greeted by some somebody he knows, who knows him
......dem friends apparently

they chat about CashPot

cho..!!!..
he play CashPot
and wanna ask ME to buy him an orange

lol

i DON'T thinks so

[[ continue-ing in a few minutes ]]
