WONDERFUL trip - stayed at Rondel which was very, very comfortable and convenient. Out of roughly a dozen trips to Jamaica over the past 19 years, this was my first visit outside of an AI.
In addition to becoming one with the sand, we did get out to snorkel (saw lots of sea life including a HUGE Manta Ray) and enjoyed a one-tank dive with Negril Adventure Divers - see our Dive Master in the photo.
Ivan's for dinner one evening, and Push-Cart on another, also Sweet Spot and Margaritaville. We ate dinner right at Rondell three times! All meals were delicious.
One of the most interesting and informative parts of the vacation was a Thursday evening Rotary meeting at Escape. Great group of people doing a ton of good for the area, with a major focus on enriching the lives of as many Negril children as possible.
My fella got to jam onstage at Roots Bamboo and at Drifters! He loved the experience and earned the nickname, "Bob Marley!" He picked up some hand-carved guitar picks on the beach from TJ, and some cornrows from Patty. The braiding was fun - sat with some of Patty's compadres and watched an impromptu game of volleyball backed up by a spectacular sunset.
I think he's hooked on Negril...I know I am.
