hey-mon,

Thanks so much for the pics and the write up. Sideways doesn't matter as I get the picture so not to worry on your end!! It looks like Villa Optima was Optimal, how many people stayed with you?? I checked Optima on-line and it seems like an awesome spot. TB is such a nice area and positive vibe. I first visited there in 1981 but didn't stay over just stopped there on a road trip. Needless to say it was very quiet there but it has matured nicely since due to the local community working together to keep it as nice as possible. The Sports Park is quite a good idea and it has brought it many different sports teams from tennis, cricket, soccer, basketball and even baseball to work out and train there. I also understand that it is a popular Yoga destination in TB also. All in all a wonderful place!!

As I mentioned I have friends from Germany (a couple) headed to TB Saturday and after 6 nights heading to Negril. I haven't said too much about the differences in style and I am interested in their feedback as far as experience goes. For them it is strictly a chill trip with laying out and totally relaxing to re charge their batteries. I'll be sure and let you know how their trip turned out in a couple weeks time.

Thanks again for the pics and if you have more to share it would be great and appreciated.

Irie,
