Negril = Happy Lady
Figured the videos out. On my second day I went on the OneLove bus tour. It started off like this:
Then at the end it was like this:
Then Prince's Pussy control came on and we just lost our mind
The next day it rained. I emailed a gentleman before I left who was highly recommended on T.A. about 100% mountain coffee. Evidently this man goes up to the blue mountains for a few months at a time..does his thing picks some beans and this roasts him in his house.
I thought today would be a great day to go see him since it was raining. He gave me his number on a previous email, so I called him and he has a house right across the street from Alfreds. So I took a cab to his house and while he roasted coffee on his covered deck he played Diana Ross for me and I laid on his couch sipping some Rum Punch he offered me and looking at his photo albulm of his life. This happened!!!!!
As I tell this story to my friends they are all " So you met a man you found on the internet, went to his house and drank what he offered you and laid on his couch and looked at photos while he played some motown in the background"
Negril makes you do things you would NEVA EVA do in real life.
So Yea. I did that. And it was AWESOME.
On Sunday I went to the Catholic church in spitting distance of my hotel. It was Pentecost Sunday so lots of rejoicing, lots of music, hand clapping..wonderful time!
After that went to go get some friend chicken from that place on the corner of the roundabout that I heard the locals get there food from.
Oh the people I was on the One Love bus with the day before came looking for me at the hotel! So I shared my food and we cut up something awful in my room and by the beach1[/ATTACH]

Negril I found out is small. One instance I was trying to get a taxi and the driver was like " I know you" I was like..whatever... He was all know "no, when you went to church you had forgotten your key in the church. You were in a hurry you forgot to look to cross the treat a guy had to instruct you have to look left then right then left again. Then you couldn't find it and the priest came to your hotel looking for you because later he did."
This story is exactly true.
Another instance is my friends that I met the very first day came up to me on Monday and said "hey i heard you extended!" How did they know that!!! They asked someone where I was at the hotel and they told them I was in my room fussing with Delta to waive my 200 dollar change fee
You know back home I would think all this was creepy and a little stalker-like. There it didn't feel like that. It felt more like people watchin my back and looking after me..
On Monday it takes me half the day to talk to my boss, my employees, Delta, Move some money around in the bank, talk to my brother whose lookin after my house, my boyfriend who is being super understanding (his thoughts on me extending my stay: You must be having a REALLY good time)
CoCoLaPalm had a mangers reception that was fun. Music free food and free drinks at Sunset. So thats that day...
Tuesday I spend half the day getting my hair braided. My driver negotiated a nice lady to come to my room, wash and greese my scalp and but braids in my hair for 20% what I would pay back in the states.
I guess it would have been better to go to the braid shop in the hut on the roundabout, but they dont have air condition and Im just not quite there yet. lol.
So her and I had a nice day enjoying the breeze in my room, watching lifetime movies on Tv and Im drinking rum Punch and having food delieverd to my room like a spoiled girl but I didnt care.
I recall a conversation with her:
Her: "Why is there so much suicide in America?
Me: Oh you know the stress of life, feeling of hopelessness, lots of different factors.
Her: And the cold too. Its very cold there.
ME: Yes, around the Holidays there are more suicides, but I dont think that has to do with the cold. It has more to do with...
Her: You know, they should smoke Marijuana. Then I dont think there will be no more suicide. Its medicine you know...
Is that not the best conversation EVER?
The rest of my time is just spent on the beach. Enjoyin the vendeors, Eating too much. Drinking way to Much. More night swimming. Exploring all the places I heard about on the forum and TA,
So after running out of money and four shades darker I pack up all the coffee and wood carvings that I bought. Since I only took a carry on, I leave a lot of my dresses ( The ones that cost like 20 bucks at TJ Max ) for the hosuekeeprs and my beach bag (cost like 10 bucks at Marshells)
I know they appreciated, but not as much as I appreciated them. They washed my clothes while I was there!!! So very nice.
I think about Negril every day. Every day. When people tell me how stressed there are my answer is "you need to go to Negril". When people tell me how tired they are my answer is "you need to go to Negril" When people ask me where Im watching the world cup my answer is "I wish I was watching it in Negril"
Did I tell you how I got jerked back from my Vacation? Stupid Atl airport. I hate that place. The custom officer looks at my passport and then looks at me. I answer all his questions and he is all like " So. You were supposed to stay four days in Negril and you stayed 8. You have no friends or family that you went to see there and you travled alone?"
I look at him and say " IF I wait around for people to do stuff with me Ill be waiting around my whole life and honey aint NOBODY got time for that.
Douche. He needs to go to Negril.
