Just in case the Christmas breeze comes early, I am bringing warm clothes. Actually I will be wearing them as it takes me almost 18 hours to get there (including 8 hours on airplanes which are always cold, and another 8 or so hours at airports which can also be chilly). Way back in the 80's I was took a few years off from working and had many back to back six months stays (which you could get back then either because the rules were different or immigration had no way to track how long you stayed), I got climatized and joined my JA friends in bundling up in winter particularily at late nite yard parties or shows. My body seems to remember, and I still get cold in JA during December!

Suitcase almost packed ... I fly out Tuesday nite on the redeye to Toronto and will arrive in Negril Wednesday late afternoon. Getting excited - its been 5 years since my last visit.
