Shauna (marley9808) & Raul's (ralonzo29) 1st Anniversary in Jamaica *Trip Report*

[Aud-A-Sea]

Love, Love, Love your report and pics Shauna. You have made me so excited to be going back in a couple weeks. November 19th Soon Come Love the pics of Catcha. We will be staying in Libra. Love Sagi's shower though. After 8 nights in Libra, we will be heading back over to Dolphin Bay at Banana Shout for the last 5 nights.

The french toast at Xtabi is to die for. Don't even like that kind of stuff for breakfast, but I think I ate it everyday for a week.

Love seeing Canoe Bar.

We will be doing the One Love Drive Bar Pub Crawl on the 30th.

Your report makes those who have never been want to go and those who have been, want to go back. Great job. Congratulations on your anniversary.

Shauna....no we did not make it up there. I squeezed in another dive and decided to put it off for another trip. I did get 100% on my test too! LOL.

Raul...I've some callalloo & scotch bonnet seeds put aside for ya'! My peppers are still producing even though we're having temps in the 30's. I'll send you some other pepper varieties that you'll enjoy too!

Another great report! So sad to see it end. Who is next?????

[marley9808]

Thanks Aud-A-Sea, glad I could help!

Libra is great too...that was originally always where I wanted to stay because I am a Libra lol but Sagi, wow! Just love that place and I am already sad because it appears to be booked for the next time we want to go and I feel rather spoiled by that room even though I would be happy just to be on the property!

What do you think of Banana Shout? I have never been on that property or stayed there but I looked at it a lot during our stay at Sagi....might check it out one of these days

And YES! You will have a blast on the One Love Bus Crawl....it was really a fun time!

P.S. Can't wait for your report and pics now!

[marley9808]

Mr. Twister! Awesome about the 100%....that is good that you waited then to take the test!
We will have to definitely reschedule the Jurassic Park trip for next time then, should be a fun ride!

I can only imagine how excited Raul is now after reading that you had pepper seeds too....he is already mapping out the back yard for his new garden, lol

[Marko]

we could all feel the excitement the two of you were having on your 1st Anniversary Trip!
what a joy to read and see all these wonderful pics...have to admit it makes one very homesick....
seeing Ben and all the pics at Catcha, Banana Shout and the Lighthouse with Ricks, Canoe and da menu and food, Three Dives, Rob & Lisa, MiYard, Pee Wees, etc always brings back years of wonderful memories.......thanks!

thank you so much for putting in such a splendid effort and we all look forward to your next trip!

Big Thumbs Up!

Cool Runnings, Marko

Love Banana Shout. Dolphin Bay is a great little cottage. Funny, I looked at Sagi alot when we were there. We were probably staring at each other...lol. The price can't be beat at the Shout, however, it does not have the amenities that Catcha does and that is why I think 2 weeks would have been too long at the Shout. Really looking forward to staying at Catcha. Milo and Marianne is what brings me back to Banana Shout.

Can't wait to write a trip report with lots of pics

Thank you so much for the awesome report! Congratulations on your anniversary. The love you have for eachother is evident in every picture of you two. Just beautiful!

Thanks for that excellent report! We stayed at Catcha Gardens for a week last January and visited Ivans quite a lot during our time there. Snorkeled all along the cliffs from LTU Past Catcha. Love that area up there. (We usually stay at Blue Cave Castle and did 2 weeks there also.)
Dragonflies? We had a swarm come through our backyard garden last year. I was just before a hard rain, maybe that stirred them up.....
Here's the video.

Marley, Banana Shout doesn't come near Catcha, thats for sure. I personally did not like Banana Shout but I know others love it there. I was sooooo hot in the cottage that I was miserable there. Those walls built on the sides of Banana Shout seem to keep any breeze away. I was there in December too. We also lost power for most of my time there, which I know is not their fault, so of course no ceiling fan. Uggghh! We hung out out Seastar all day. Even my Jamaican friends thought it was super hot there and I've never heard them complain about heat!!
