Day 1 in Negril:
I am not counting yesterday as the first day because we were in bed so early! So...up at 5. I have to unpack and get organized. This makes me settle in and relax. That done, we head down to find some chairs and have breakfast at the hotel. If you have stayed at Rooms before, you know it is a simple continental breakfast that has changed over the years. It used to be they brought it to you, as of last year, there is a line to get fruit, boiled egg, yogurt, pastries. You can also get toast and cereal, juices, coffee, tea, and water. If that doesn't work, you can order a breakfast. However, I usually just get the continental as it's enough to get my day started.
Down to the beach for a picture perfect day. Walked over and hung out with Maureen for a bit. We spent the day in our chairs, the sea, at Sunnyside - repeat. Over the years, we have had varying degrees of "sand gravity." Brian referred to it today as "sand paste". Well, that stuck (haha) and we now will refer to it only as that.
For dinner we decided to head to Canoe. My God I love it there. Kirby's rum punch is always a favorite! And we sure did our part to put a dent in the stock. Jerk wings for the girls and jerk shrimp for the guys. DELISH! Misha and Christina were working. Christina was new to us and she is wonderful! Hung out at Canoe and listened to the Overtakers (awesome!) Headed back to Rooms and hung out with Kelvin at the bar. We made plans to go the Jungle the next night - along with another Brian we met, Kelvin and his friend. Closed the bar at Rooms and headed over to Sunnyside for...one more. Somehow this turned into a taste of Campari. Can I just take a moment to discuss this? Who drinks this stuff?! AND WHY?! I would rather drink cough syrup but I digress. This then became a shot of magnum and red bull. I think the same people drink this. as the Campari. Blech. Somehow though - this wasn't the last time for this nonsense.
While we were sitting there - back to my regular rum punch - a couple walk over. The guy looks at Amy and says, "are you Jen? I saw your picture on Negril.com" I just cracked up. She was so confused because I had posted pictures of our last trip - and normally - I'm in less of them because I'm taking them! This got a good laugh from everyone and earned me my first nickname of the week. So Doug - if you are lurking here - and I am pretty confident you are! - this is me calling you out. Register, get a screen name and write a report!
After a bit more - we headed back and off to bed. Up after 6 am the next day - unheard of for me. I'm always up by 5 ish. Let's just say that the next day was a little rough for me. We had planned to go out to Calico Jacks - but I wasn't in any shape for that. I took zero pictures so far. This will change tomorrow. Stay tuned....
