    This is where hundred of hungry mosquitoes had their fantastic lunch of my legs.

    I could not believe that out of the 12 days in Jamaica this was the only time and place I got bit…no attacked would be a better description. It was like they landed on me, said grace then bit at the same time! It was crazy sudden pain.

    The chef came with a repellent that worked with getting them off and keeping them away. However, my legs were flaming with pain and itching like mad.

    I remembered what would take away the itch.

    “Lime…lime…do you have any lime?”

    He came running with a half lime. I saw the juice drip on my thigh before the fruit touched my legs so he’s using a juicy one…wonderful. The itching stopped almost instantly once the lime was rubbed on my legs. I gave thanks and praise for lime that afternoon and the hands that did the rubbing.

    Chef said “Dem scent fresh blood.”

    Huh??? All I know is that ‘ish hurt.

    Hi, Vi,
    Loving your reports. Could you be more specific about where you were when the mosquitos attacked (so I can avoid it)? They love me. I will remember the lime cure, never tried it before. Had good luck this last time in Jamaica with cortisone ointment.

    Never been to Port Antonio, would love to get there sometime.

    Many thanks!

    Ohhhhh Vi, what a wonderful story about the young upcoming chef. She sounded like a delightful soul, filled with enthusiasm for cooking...I so love to see that at a young age. It was touching that you took her and got some credit for her phone....it only takes one kind gesture like that to help out.

    I am so glad that I stopped over to catch this fabulous thread. I haven't enjoyed a trip report as much as this for some time. Thanks for your nice comments about my photography...as you realize, I am so excited to see what I can capture. Your photos are wonderful and you are a talented photographer in your own right...and also a great story teller. I have enjoyed it.

    Thanks for sharing...

    Yes Vi.like they say "once you go you know" .and that means to me without a doubt PA and surrounding area..Went for the first time last July(just missed the jerk festival-lucky you) and this is after going to the west side of island for too many years..It is so worth the extra expense to get over there.Compared to Negril-well there is NO comparison (and yes, I have a certain fondness for Negril) It's one of the most beautiful places I've been to in the world...and the people, the nightlife,the food, the vibe...Ahhh
    I so want to go when am there in Nov...

    Ms Sprat..I can't wait to see the photos you are going being posting...and Ms Jennie B look forward to your trip report-and all you first timers there as well as old timers...Bring it all on !!!!!

    This is Otis and a shot of his place above. He owns a beverage spot on the beach. Great guy!

    He has the coldest red stripes and the most comfortable beachchairs around. Please check him out when you visit the beach.

    These chairs are a must have for my bunz when I'm there. The bottom slides in and out which converts it to a lounger.
