We spent awhile longer back at the beach and then decided to go back to hotel to see if Birthday boy wanted to have a late lunch with us. We went down to the hotel’s restaurant but nothing was happening - seems they were having a “party” that evening with DJ and discounted drinks. Imagine - a built in party for hubbie’s birthday. We decided to head back to Woody’s for burgers - late lunch early dinner.

As we were finishing up eating - Mrs. Woody’s husband arrived (Charles)- back from a funeral (his barber). Mrs. Woody was so pleased he got back in time to sing Happy Birthday to my Charles - it was a very original solo rendition - sung with heart and soul - and we felt blessed to have witnessed such an impromptu event. Wish I had taped it, but we were so enthralled with this surprise it was over and he was gone before we could arrange an encore!

We then decided to go back to the hotel and have a little rest and shower before the “Party”. I had arranged in the morning with staff to have a little birthday cake made so that we could celebrate hubbie’s day with our own Birthday song. Not too long we heard the music coming from the bar/restaurant and decided to head on down. Much to our surprise it turned out to be a private party - only our group and the staff. This was a Sunday night - not many guests at the hotel. We had a couple of dances or at least “M” of M&G did J and then our B-Day cake arrived and we sang happy B-Day - a couple of drinks and then off we went to pack up and get ready for bed.

Got a picture of the Jamaican Palace and Trident Hotels - now these are High End locations! Must be where the rich and famous go to hide out.

So we hit most of the spots we had set out to do and headed back to Negril. We stopped at the Jerk Center in Ochi for lunch and passed a couple of cruise ships that were in dock. Then on through Montego Bay and we were on the home stretch to enjoy the balance of our vacation at the place we love best - Seastar and 7 mile beach.

As “M” of M&G like to say -
“Here’s to the nights we’ll never remember with the friends we’ll never forget”
