Trip Report - March 2014

Next stop is the Pelican bar. We got a boat and got in. Asked where it was and the guy pointed to a speck barely in sight. 20 minutes of treading through the water and seeing properties falling into the sea we finally arrive to the Pelican Bar. It was as expected. We spent an hour just sitting and watching Dolphins. The other couple wanted to leave that took the boat with us, so we headed back. On the way back the Dolphins appeared, so we got to see them up close. Dave said we must me lucky, he had been out there many times and never saw Dolphins.
It was a long drive back to Negril. Started to think about dinner and ended up with a group decision of pizza. Ended up at German Bar. We had never been to the German Bar, but it ended up being one of the best meals for the price. A big veggie pizza for 900J.



3/23
Slept in due to being tired from the previous day. Katelyn wanted to do some shopping at the duty free stores. Jeremy got the idea that we should do a ¼ of a “special brownie”. Worst idea of the trip. About two hours in we were laughing in the shops at eachother and my wife grounded us to a bench outside. That was the good part of the experience. The girls finished shopping so we entered the beach through Alfreds. My wife wanted to go to Idle Awhile. I probably should have had more water before walking. About halfway down the beach I’m starting to freak out. I need to either sit down or get in the ocean and chill. My wife says I need to man up and continue to walk. I start to get paranoid because I think everyone is looking at me. I’m wearing sunglasses, so no one can see my eyes. I walk by all the vendors like a ghost. We finally make it to Idle Awhile and I’m not feeling too good. I lay down for about 20 minutes. Jeremy and Katelyn are concerned, so they sit down next to me. My wife goes in for a swim and waves to Katelyn. Katelyn waves back and a hustler selling aloe is thinking she is wanting something. The hustler sits down and starts to do his thing. I know they are relying on me to tell him no, but all my force field is down due to the brownie. I’m lying there like a beached whale occasionally taking a gulp of water. 10 minutes into the aloe massage for Katelyn I sit up and look at the hustler and say “I’m going to be sick”. The hustler just looks at me and shrugs. A couple minutes later I fill up a cup full of vomit. The hustler gets freaked and runs down the beach. I guess that’s one way to get rid of someone lol. Got rid of the cup and felt 100% better. Assured everyone around me not part of my group that everyting was good and apologized. Lifeguard at Idle Awhile was concerned, but I was good. Really enjoyed the rest of the day after that.

I got ideas from here on announcing our pregnancy. We ended up doing the 3 sandals on the sand with Sept 2014 written in the sand. I'll keep trying to post the picture, but the uploader is not working.



I’ll write more later.
