    gettin our Groove on, trip report april '17

    I went in solo for a few days for my birthday...dropped my bags off at the room and hit the beach running...started out at barbbarn, said hello the Ann and her crew beside bourbon beach, then yellowbird, sunnyside, live music with otis gayle, duckie, frank ard and others, and then a stop by drifters on the way back...
    a few pics of the journey

    I agree with you, the stools are so hard.....

    BTW, you have the awesome pics...you inspired 2 of my crew to go buy new cameras after seeing your pics earlier this year...they both got the one you recommended...

    So i only stay at Drifters for just a little while...the travel day exhaustion is setting in...plus it is very hot, very very hot....i was sweating and burning up...lol...so back to sunrise club to regroup....I ordered pizza, the trilogy...chicken, pepporoni and bacon...they usually have the toppings over third each of the pizza...i like it scattered all over the pizza....it was a nice pizza, and simple, since i could regroup while it cooked....

    I woke up when i had a knock on my door..the pizza was being delivered...I wasnt planning on falling asleep, but I guess it was a needed 30 minute nap...I went to bed at 2am the night before...4am wake up, 30 minute drive to macon for a shuttle...shuttle hour and half to ATL airport, in dwaynes car at mobay at 1215....

    I go across to Bourbon Beach, but as mentioned in a couple other trip reports, BB is not happening on this trip...I stay for a little while, and head down to Alfreds for Friday night live music....A decent crowd....party in the sand, which is what we love so much about Negril...A good first day in my happy place...,

    I get up and do my morning routine, take a beach walk before it gets too hot and the hustle and bustle starts...I dont take anything but a couple pre rolled subs and a waterproof container for my lighter if i need to take a dip...I cut in at BarBBarn and then decide which way to go...I go right...walk to White Sands, take a dip to cool off,(my first dip in the water) climb the tower and people watch for about 10 minutes as I dry...then back to sunrise club...I need to change money and get a few supplies...so i walk to town...the sidewalk has made this walk so much easier than it was before sidewalk...

    roundabout...Protect yur head, dont end up dead

    this is the Chinamon store, this is where i normally get my supplies and change money...a box of red stripe was always about 500 cheaper and exchange rate was always about 400 better...not this time...red stripe cheaper at hi lo...exchange rate same as I can get delivered to my room....so i went to hi lo, got my few supplies and exchanged money at the cambio, since it was the same rate...

    i finished my beach day with 2 for 1 somethings at yellow bird...
    back to the sunrise club...this was easter weekend...there was a big party being held next door at Babooze or Bamboo or whatever...it was a huge event, folks from all over the island...a battle of the dj's....so if i wanted to get to bed early, no chance of that....the music was good at times, but just when i get into a song, the loud ass DJ starts screaming like he is being atttacked or something...a whole lot of noise...EVERYBODY STRIKE YOUR LIGHTAS....I went to Bourbon to listen to swallow and mark irie...then watched and listened to the party from my porch until 2am..2am sharp it all cut off...another great day in my happy place
