The divorced male phenomenon in Negril

[RonMon]

When you come for more than a couple weeks you get to feel at home and 'just hanging where you stay' is a pleasure, especially if you have a kitchenette and a patio or balcony. Reading is my primary 'occupation'. There are more than enough stores, street vendors, restaurants, and places to hang out (and even beach/swimming) for my needs between Miyard and the bus park in town that I rarely go farther, even staying 3 months time. When friends come on vacation that's when I get out to other restaurants/venues or the beach. My first couple years of long stays I went out more, until I realized my preferred routines.

I LOVE that there are many different places to go in Negril, whenEVER I want. Its so convenient, so many options! If I get bored food-wise I go to Hedonism on a day pass to graze the buffets and chill on the beach where a cigarette guy and a charter fishing boat are the only vendors. ($50 women, $100 guys OR couples)

What do you do at home on weekends and during the summer? If you are very active at home, then you will get out and find things to do in/around Negril and beyond. Seems like the more active folks get around on bicycle or scooter. I don't see how a person can run short of things to do in Negril, unless they burn through their money faster than their time.

Thanks Lola! That is kind of what I am thinking, Negril seems just perfect as there is always something going on somewhere. I am just settled into the beach scene so the cliffs will be new for me. I am doing 8 nights in Sept and then two weeks next Feb. At home I am outdoors a lot running, walking etc. I have a couple of motorcycles I ride, so I keep that up in Negril as well. I do worry about the danger of riding in Negril as the last trip a car hit the heavy steel utility pole by Samsara right in front of me so hard it totaled the car.

The west end is the best end. We hit the beach once, maybe twice in 10-12 days we stay.

mi have only made it twice to da beach all winter.......lol

mi went from 1 week vacations in da 80's to get away from the cold.....sometimes going twice a year
early 90's mi did da same and the late 90's mi started the 2 week thingy......
around 2000 mi was doing da 1 month thingy...........and about the last 4 years been doing the 3 month thingy twice a year
mi fully retire next Winter and probably will do more than the 3 month thingy......
for mi being in Negril in da Summer is a blessing....believe it or not......it is much more hotter and humid in Florida in da Summer

Cool Runnings, Marko

I think we're on a similar trajectory, Marko. We have to wait until our son gets through school before we can think about going longer than two weeks, but it's coming soon enough. I think we may have shared a route taxi (got in at Spyda Bar) with you a few years ago, but I'm not certain...
