Day 9 (which is really day 10):
Woke up to dreary skies. The water was rough and the temp wasn't it's normal hot. Went down and grabbed breakfast and then finished packing up. Sigh. I hate the last day. On our first trip to Negril, Alfred told us not to be sad - we had to leave in order to come back again. I have carried that sentiment with me over the years, but still find leaving day to be difficult. We purchased Club MoBay arrival and departure each year. Last year - we waited so long to check our bags that we never even set foot in Club MoBay when we were leaving. We were determined not to experience the same 3-4 hour wait to check luggage this year - so we asked Tulla to pick us up earlier than he normally would. He was happy to do so as that worked better in his schedule. I think we were picked up around 10:15 for a 3:00 flight. It was raining by the time we left and somehow that made it a tiny bit easier to say goodbye to the beach. Rained the whole way to Montego Bay...line was short (go figure!) and we had time to relax before we left. Had some snacks and a farewell rum punch, did a little shopping, and left on time.

So here I sit - 2 weeks home - wishing I were heading back for the Boardie Bash. Not gonna happen, but someday I will make it down for that. Our son graduates next year. We took his sister to Negril for her senior year spring break back in 07. Our son has been to Negril once (for his sister's wedding) but that was at Riu Palace. When we asked him where he wanted to go for spring break his first answer was Florida with his friends - um, nope. Not how I roll. Where would you like to go WITH US on spring break? Negril, without missing a beat, he added - but where you and dad go...not a big hotel this time. Last Friday we booked 10 days at Rooms for his break next year. In a short 51 weeks I'll be back to my paradise.

For those of you that stuck with me through this report - THANKS for reading. I never really know what people want to read about and or see - so I write it like something I would want to read. I love seeing everyone's pictures and learning about their adventures. Thanks for sticking with me through this - at least I got it done faster than last year's trip! LOL
