I had Godwin pick me up at Coral Seas and drop my stuff off at Negril Palms...I had made arrangements to leave my stuff, cuz i had 3 hours til check in...he then dropped me off at Bar B Barn..I hung out there until about 130, when He came back to pick us up...I had a group going to Red Dragon for cold beer and jerk pork Monday...






got a couple pattys from neville, just because...even though ragabones was on the schedule...

i get dropped off at Negril Palms, get checked in and hit the beach...

i walk towards the all inclusives...never been this far on the beach...stopped at couples swept away....turns out this will be the furthest I get so I got something left to do on the next trip...


they are playing volleyball...they run short on the volleyball court, and i get to play.....well i get to play bocce ball, as one the bocce players went to the volleyball court...i got several points and my team won...played this game with my softball boys on the beach in PCB every year...






the bar at csa...actually thought it was barrys bar..went for a drink and got run off...

this was my 6th night and due to clouds and rain, this was only the 2nd sunset...so i overdid it a bit...

Groove, the exact same thing happened to us. We got caught in the rain and had never been that far, saw the thatch roof and ran for cover. We meet a nice group of folks from Texas who we were getting along with famously due to the fact hubby was wearing a Dallas Cowboys hat and we got as far as ordering a round of shots before security arrived. We apologized profusely and offered to obviously pay but were told we couldn't even do that. We sheepishly did the shots tipped the bartender and made our way to the next "public" hotel where we had the best Pina Colada's we have ever had(cant rem the name of the hotel to save my life but you have a shot of the deck in your pictures, too many subs that day maybe) Lesson learned.
