That looks like a fun time.
That looks like a fun time.
Flip, thanks for the virtual romp around Negril, glad you guys had fun
No problem!
Not sure what day this is, so I will call it "The next day"
I was feeling like complete dog ****. Probably a weeks worth of drinking catching up with me, and a late night, the night before.
We are to go with GerryG, Charlie, Chickster, Groove and Janet to the Blue Hole at roaring river.
I tried to back out, but Janet guilt tripped me into going. So we went. Let me tell you something. Crammed into the back of a car with ganja smoke filling the air and feeling like dog **** does not mix. I was not much in the way of good conversation to anyone. I was in a miserable mood. Bad form here, and I feel bad if anyone expected the "Fun Flip".. because I certainly was not.
On the way, we see an ambulance tipped on its side.
After what seems like 2 hours we get to the place. We pick up a guide and we head back. The area was under new ownership, under construction and technically closed. GerryG negotiated us about 45 minutes to hang out. The Blue Hole was pretty damn spectacular looking. I must admit. There was some awesome fish. We also had an amazing view of the mountain side. This was definitely a great payoff.
I would love to make this trip again with Jackie and another couple at some point. It's a perfect date spot. Good on Gerry for showing us.
On the way out we stopped at a local road side place to eat. We each order a plate. They were huge. I couldnt eat all of mine. I still had the sweats as well. However, it did taste great, I just wasnt feeling well.
The total bill with tip for the 8 of us. 7 tourists and a driver came out to be something around 30 bucks?
Wow.
Anyway - we get back to the hotel and I went straight to bed. This was about 2 or 3 pm. I woke up around 5 or 6 and we went to grab a quick bite and it was back to sleep for me. I had about 12 hours of sleep that night.

Hey Flip,what a trooper you were that day. If that was me feeling like you did there would not be enough guilt in the world that would have made me make that trip. it would have helped having a larger vehicle. That water was ICE cold I'm sure that would have woken you up, it did for me. I didn't see "little Elvis" for 2 days after that swim.
I wonder if ambulance ever got fixed and put back into service.

I was afraid I was going to **** myself all day lol. Jumping in ice cold water, not sure if that would have helped or hut, bu tI wasn't going to take a chance!
haha, i think we've all had a day like that in Negril. it puts a damper on a road trip when all you want to do is be close to a clean working toilet.Originally Posted by Flipadelphia26
My reaction to seeing a girl say that
Flip & Chickster
I have to say this now since both of u mentioned we were crammed in and the size of the vehicle. Hope I don't offend anyone but sometimes I tell it like it is.
It was not Gerry's fault due to we had 2 more people than he thought were going. I felt a little sorry for Shane that day because he put Groove and Jackie in the far back seat and he said I need another small one back here. I looked around (including myself), Flip, Gerry, Charlie and Chickster. I said Shane we don't have anymore small ones unless YOU are going to sit back there and let one of us drive. He put me back there but I am a slightly claustrophobic and barely made it from from Travellers to the roundabout without crawling over the seat and getting out of vehicle. Thanks Flip for trading places with me. Someone said that day (of course I don't remember who) when u are arranging a taxi in addition to telling the driver how many people u may want to include the SIZE of the people. I thought this was so FUNNY!
I don't think I really knew how bad u felt that day. I owe u an extra special wedding gift. Thanks again for going because if I had not made that trip I would have been there 2 weeks with no day trips at all. I never even made it to Rhodes Hall or Half Moon.
It ended up being a beautiful place and we managed fine on the ride. I remember we had to pick up our tour guide at the entrance so we had 9 people in that vehicle.
