Hi everyone.

I've been lurking for a bit but wanted to pop in and say hello since I appreciate the helpful information I've found on this forum. It seems like there are quite a few other Midwesterners here.

The hubs and I are eagerly looking forward to our first trip to Negril in just a few more days, from Jan. 30 to Feb. 6. We are staying at Sunset at the Palms and so far have booked fishing, snorkeling, sunset cruise to Rick's just to check it out, and the One Love bus. We considered a trip to Mayfield Falls but not sure if I'll want to give up any more of my beach time since I want at least a couple days to be lazy in the sand. I'm a mosquito and bug magnet and tend to get the big, nasty welts so I'm not looking forward to all the mosquitoes and sand fleas I keep hearing about, but hopefully the bug spray will keep it manageable.

The countdown is on!
