this thread made me get some of my oldest pics from first trip in 87 to Negril. Wow we were young once lol, im going to try to take a few pics of the old pictures , then try to figure out how to put emon here. Iv never downloaded a pic to this site even tho , been here a long time
Hubby and I honeymooned at the original Couples in Ocho Rios October 1984 (coming up on 30 years!!) We have such fond memories of our arrival in JA. 22 year olds who had never been out of the country and wow - what a great time we had that week! Some photos of our departure - just waiting on a plane to take us home. After several (too many) Stripes on the goodbye bus it was nap time on the berm until the plane came to take us back to reality :-).Attachment 35151
ahhh the air...the heat hit you as soon as they open the doors. I usually sat at the back of the plane, cuz back in those days they used to let you out the back door/stairs
My first arrival was in 1984. Had a similar experience to Todd of weed in the airport. And yes that smell of salty humid warm air as soon as the plane door was opened was sweet enough to melt your soul and I could hardly inhale this sweetness quick enough. Loved travelling the old road!
That photo above from Sunwise is the old Charter Terminal ( or so my memory thinks!) - I remember watching the plans pulling away from the old Charter terminal with that same view as Lisa C's pix.
Yes - we were on a charter Ryan Air! Back in the day when they could change plans at a moment's notice. We had to stop in Baltimore on the way back to Philly to "drop off" some people before heading back to Philly. Just pulled up, opened the plane, let them off, and we took off again. I don't think that would work today :-)
