Trip Report.....Day 1....2/21
First off, let me apologize in advance for my lack of technical ability....I can't seem to upload my pics onto my computer as of yet let alone onto the forum here....When the kinks are worked out I'll be sure to follow suit...If you haven't yet, checkout Negril Boardies on Facebook where I've posted a slew of videos....including some for Calico Jack's....Look up Tim Keefe...
Back to the report....We've all awoken at some point (or didn't sleep) for an early flight...I won't belabor you all with that...I will say I was grateful to get Club Mobay....I had an early arrival for MoBay...well, noon....but before most flights get there...It saved me 20 minutes but you can't put a price tag on those eager moments of anticipation so it was well worth it...I skipped the welcome beverage because to get a bottle of beer, I'd have to sit in the lounge..I've done plenty of that in my time ...A 'to go' beer was in an 8 oz cup...No thanks! I see my buddy Dwayne (Nicoy Smith 876-376-1458) awaiting and I know he'll have a cooler filled to the brim for me. I've known Dwayne for years.
After catching up and swilling a few, we stop by his girl Nadine's shop in Green Island so I can say 'hello'. Of course, the sub situation is of critical importance and Dwayne knows my high American standards for such things sub related. Once secured, we headed off to Negril...Checked into The Jamaica Tamboo....I knew it was going to be a special week when I was told Luciano would be playing later. Wow! I laughed at the 'supposed' start time of 10:00.....Knowing Jamaica as I do, I knew they left in one too many zeroes...lol...
I'm a beach walker...day and night....Some don't suggest that, but I'm only here to tell my experience...I never get bothered but some of my local friends tell me it's because of my 'ganster' look....I laugh it off....Stopped at all my favorites waiting for the show to start....Yellowbird...Sunnyside....Tony's Hut....First sunset of the trip at White Sands....Then back to the tamboo to chill, eat some dinner and nap before the show....Dwayne and Nadine show back up at the tamboo at 11 to see the show....He was so excited to see Luciano!!!!!!! A lot of people were somewhat reticent, however, because Sizzla was a No Show week prior at Roots....We all got a good chuckle at 115 AM when we heard a voice over the microphone.....'He's here...he's just changing!' LOL.....He came out and rocked the house for an hour straight....fully demonstrating his leg kicks and passionate energy..
At this point, it's been almost 24 hours....Time for TimmyMon to go to bed....Share the rest soon....What a wild yet ever so relaxing week....
It's crazy how SLOW time goes by in Negril, isn't it?
