First time to Long Bay coming up in Dec. We are not newbies to Negril but are to Long Bay. Sorry but after 9 previous trips we have all the trinkets we need so if it's not food and drinks we won't be buying it. Hope after a few days we won't have to keep saying No Thank You. Hate shopping at home so I certainly don't do it on vacation. The hating shopping is what affords us 2 trips to Negril a year.
I hate when the "Fruit Lady" runs out of star apples or june plumbs before she gets to my section of the beach!!!
"Any fruuuuuuuit" - ..................gotta love her and bless her heart I love watching her peel it, cut it and bag it for you!!
Hey Ed...FREE ENTERPRISE. Not just for Americans. I get dizzy when I go to Time Square. (The one in NY) The" in your face" ads and hustlers could overwhelm our Negril salesmen. As you say there is no solution ...except perhaps market reaction by demand. Lets bury this subject!.....ROB As mouthpiece for the chamber..do you get free parking???
Rob,
I'm going to cancel my next two trips unless you can guarantee me that before I arrive that you have reached out to and trained every single higgler in Negril on how to interact with all visitors. Can you make this happen? I need to know as I do not want to lose my deposits.
Oh, and how can I forget the need for sidewalks on the West End. I know with the relationships that you have built over the last 20 years that you can make this happen. Problem is, around 5 PM or so I have simply partake'd way too much and I become a hazard while walking the road to all motorist whom are driving.
Oh, can you get someone to deal with the Lionfish. A lot of us out there are deathly afraid of these little buggers and we need to wipe them out quickly. Maybe a daily fish fry where it's buy one lion fish get one free?
And one last thing, stop defending Negril. If it wasn't for guys like you I would have never come. And now that I have found it and love it I do not want anyone to book my favorite rooms when I want to use them.

When we stayed on The Cliffs we *Missed* The Beach vendors!
As soon as we got the Beach, we were looking for Norm (with binocuars) -- We wanted our Patties!
gerryg123 ~ I literally laughed out loud at your "be proud in what you do" convo. OMG...still giggling.
Booger ~ Let me know the progress on your..er...demands...um...requests? You also made me laugh out loud.
Other than those comments...I'm staying outta this one.

Some of these comments bring tears to my eyes. I just wish there was a food bank or something in Negril .. can't feed the world but.. the people on the beach are in the hot sun all day, trying to make enough $$ for some basic food and may only end up with "dumplings" again tonight and tomorrow. I wonder what it's like for some of these people watching everyone eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at the various restaurants on the beach, wondering why? I've often gone to buy a couple of patties and give them to some of the older fellas who you know may be hungry or may go and sell it from a little cash. I'm just so worried about some of the drug addicts .. it must be a terrible circle for them. This is a strong culture and people who often have little food and word so hard .. I could not imagine. I have been to the hills with friends who have no electric and no running water .. it is amazing how they go about their day, with great strength and a smile always on their face .. a million dollar view and they are thankful and happy for the little they have.See you in August.
typos lol sorry. have to get to that nail place in Negril so I can type better :-(
Say something last year on the beach, a couple was walking along and every time someone started higgling them they pulled out there whistle and started blowing it. It was funny the different reactions.
not saying it was right or wrong just funny!!
