    **OFF-site Trip Report ~~ Aug 2011 ~~ Part #6 of several

    comments about above video::>>

    1...running socks ... called '..BalEga.." ... made in SouthAfrica... do a google for more info

    2...Ponciana tee-shirt::: a likkle *story*

    one day while walking around Lucea-town,
    i saw a lady
    ...i looked pon her face
    ummmmmmmmmmmmmm
    WHERE i know her from...???..
    ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    she smiled
    and said, "..How you doing blah blah raa raa.."

    mi-SAY:::>> "..WHERE i know you from..??.."

    "..From THERE.." as she pointed at my Poinciana tee-shirt

    folks always asking me, how long i've been going to Jamaica
    ...i can't remember
    :-(
    remember::>> i'm old with a pea-brain, and a very feeble mind.

    anyhoooooooooo.....

    i DO remember that I started @ Poinciana
    ...in a time-share-arrangement

    excited,
    i asked the lady,
    WHEN did they change the name to BeachesNegril/SandyBay etc...??..

    around 1996 or 98-ish, she said

    soooooooooooooooo

    that means i've been fooling around in Jamaica since 'bout 1995-ish, or there-abouts

    anyhooooooooooo.....

    about that lady::::>> when i met her at the resort,
    she worked in the gift shop
    ..at the time, 'twas *obvious* she was a new-employee

    me being me,
    all-ways got a kick out of *playing* with the staff members

    once in a while, i'd eat in the resort's staff dining room, with the staff

    they had good/better food in there
    ..at the time they had their own special cook/chef,
    who prepared *real* Jamaican good
    ....food they didn't serve to the guests
    .......the staff (back-then) didn't like the resort-for-guest food

    anyhoooooooooooooooooo

    i would give her ---the gift shop lady---- a hard time,
    because she'd always be out of post card stamps
    ....i use to send out 100's of postcards to my photo-clients back in the States.

    one day,
    i saw some cute match books,
    with the Poinciana logo pon dem

    mi-SAY:::>> "..lemme have some matches, please.."
    she-SAY::>> "..US $1.00 per book.."

    :-(

    i flipped
    went beserk

    she, was flustered,
    being a new-employee,
    not knowing what to do or say to the mad-tourist

    i set her at ease,
    that it was OK..... no biggie
    ..but i DID not pay for dem matches

    later,
    somehow(?)
    i did get a book of matches

    :-)

    anyhoooooooooo...

    'twas a treat seeing and chatting with her,
    after all those many years.

    interestingly::> she looked the same (almost),
    aged in appearance, by about 3-years

    dunno HOW/WHY Ja-folks don't seem to age,
    like we foreigners do

    .
    .
    3.....new green fishnet mariner tee-shirt --- cost 'bout Ja $200

    4....new white mariners ---- cost Ja $100
    question:::>> how come those white mariners cost so much up-yonder-here in good 'ole USofA ... i saw some the other day::::>> US $7.00 each

    :-(

    4....".liquid flatulence." ---- as most KNOW,
    in Jamaica/Negril/etc,
    it's a GOOD-idea to ALL-ways have some toilet tissue, in your pocket, purse, bag, whatever ....... just in case.

    usually,
    i follow this *rule*,
    even when i go jogging.

    this trip,
    too-many times, i didn't follow the *rule*

    2-3 times,
    while jogging/running,
    Nature called
    ...correction:::>> Nature SCREAM-ed

    i had no paper
    :-(

    sooooooooooooo,
    i scurried into the bushes,

    look-ed around

    and hope-ed & prayed that the big-leaf(s),
    that i *used* wouldn't cause me any itch-ing or bump-ing problems

    i've gotten pretty good,
    at selecting a *proper* leaf,
    and the use thereof,
    in lieu of toilet tissue

    anyhooooooooooooooooooooo

    the following are a few around Negril videos...

    lol

    dem so *funny* sometimes over-so in-Negril
    .
    .
    in short,
    the guy was *supposed-ly* vexed 'cause i was taking pictures

    we, he & I, had a likkle back-&-forth banter-ing

    he pulled-out his cellphone,
    as if calling somebody(?) to complain

    so,
    to *play-along*,
    i pulled out MY cellphone

    "..Hello .... Bruce ..... there's this guy over here in Negril, @ Coconut International, giving me a hard time .......... huh huh ???? ....... I've got to call SistaP..???..."

    the guy
    and another-guy there
    and I
    all had a good laugh

    and i carried-on,
    and continued my beach-walk

    * sigh *

    just ignore dem people,
    who wanna mess wit ya

    they harmless...

    Hey Smith,

    Miss G and I helped Barry to go to school when he was a pickney. Miss Gloria's was our first beach hangout when we moved from Kingston to Westmoreland.

    We saw him last year for the first time in 25 years. He was always a good kid.

    can't wait to get home from work--and hope my internet is working so I can check the vids. Gotta love sheets Top and Bottom like the Waldourf. Wonder if we should tell Barry to paint over the "u"
