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

[marley9808]

DAY NINE (October 14, 2011):

This morning I awoke, once again to the sounds of the waves, but this morning I could tell they were crashing a little louder than normal, and though it made for an amazing sound, it also worried me just a little bit. So I got up out of bed and opened the front door to see the morning sun and the wave action that I could hear. It was definitely much rougher this morning than all the other days. There was quite the impressive wave action, just as the sounds had suggested.
We got up and headed out to the breakfast area to get some coffee (with rum cream of course) and to check up on our emails, and this morning I was especially excited to check emails as Rye had already sent us a few teaser photos from our photo shoot and I was dying to see them!
We ordered our breakfasts and enjoyed the leisurely start to our morning. We were going to snorkel again but the waves were much too strong on the cliffs today so instead we just sat a little longer at breakfast and watched them crash.
I enjoyed a delicious omelette with callaloo and cheese and Raul had the jumbo Johnny cakes, yum.
The waves started to get really big but I had to laugh when I realized that those waves were not enough to keep Famous Vincent away, as he drove by and waved.
We decided to go down to the beach and visit our new friends the Twisters who were staying at Kuyaba. I have never been on the property there but had always wanted to because it looks so nice with all the wood. So we paid them a visit and what a lovely little place it is. After hanging at their place and chatting for a while we decided to head up to Red Dragon for some Jerk Pork...yum. We called Rob and Lisa and they met us out there too. It started to rain and there was a good breeze.....actually it was a little chilly for a bit. It was only a slight drizzle and overcast, not a real rain so we decided to head somewhere for our own makeshift Happy Hour....but first we rode back to Kuyaba to chill at the Twisters again for a bit..
From there we headed over to Legends for their 2 for 1 happy hour and we enjoyed an overcast, but still beautiful, sunset.
We had some drinks and talked about life and shared crazy funny stories until we had all worked up a nice hunger for dinner. With that it wasn't a hard decision to make as Mr Twister and I had already talked earlier about the pumpkin soup and Chicken Lola at LTU.....so that is where we headed and it was......GOOD!
What a great day!
