A good friend of my boyfriend/husband now, at the time had been there a couple of times and came back with tales of "never ending ganga, great food and a laid back vibe exploding with the sounds of Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, and the best beach in the world. We are in the land of a thousand lakes and know a good beach when we see one as Playboy had already featured our very own Grand Beach, Mb. Off he went with two other guys in a brown Chevy van from Winnipeg, Mb to Clear Springs Fla, left the van at a buddys and flew to Jamaica for an 8 week stay. They ran out of money after about three weeks, but never went hungry and never lost their love for the Island. We are still so very close with a great man down there, Campbell, who saw they were hungry for food and ??? and took them under his wing and fed them full of food, knowledge, and a hunger to go back. Go back he did, with me a few times till we were married on the beach in '87 and have been back more than a few times since. Took our three kids a couple of years ago to show them why we felt so right getting married there, and plan to return every year now that we are fortunate enough to make the trek!....Michaels first impression was jaw dropping cant believe the pot and that you can sit and smoke it anywhere....this was 32 years ago. My first impression was well....I had never been further south than Grand Forks, North Dakota so when I say I had taken two-three rolls of 36 pictures on my camera before we hit Negril, and I am sure one full roll and we were not even out of the airport property yet, well that could well explain my first impression. But true love for the Island is what has grabbed my heart and only grows with each trip back.Booked, paid and counting our return for three glorious weeks next February!!!!!
