The Most Wonderful Time of the Year - 11 Nights 11 Sunsets
We had a wonderful Christmas holiday in Negril! Arrived on the 22nd around 11:00 am. Breezed thru Immigration with Club MoBay. It took over an hour to get our bags....only one other plane there...guess they went to lunch before they unloaded our bags, lol... Went to the lounge to change clothes & grab some beverages. Our driver was waiting, so we grabbed a drink for the ride. Traffic in MoBay was CRAZY! Stopped at MegaMart for wine, Moët, & beer. I sat in the van while hubby & Damion shopped. I figured it would be a long wait, but they were out in 15 minutes - record time! Traffic still bad...got out of town & made a quick stop for cold beers. I thought that the traffic in MoBay was bad...that was nothing compared to Lucea! Took an hour to get thru “downtown”, got to Hammond’s Bakery and no traffic....Arrived at Charela at 3:00.
Quick change into our suits and hit the beach! Walked down to Rondel to see our favorite bartender, ordered a pizza. We hadn’t eaten since 5:30am at the airport and I was hangry! All was right in the world at this point... we’re in Negril, sitting at Delroy’s “office” watching the sunset!
Had a few rounds & lots of laughs and decided to call it a night - long day. On the way back to our hotel, I get the big idea to go get something to eat, lol! That pizza wasn’t doing it for me...I wouldn’t make it til breakfast. Talked hubby into grabbing a cab & heading up the cliffs to Cool Vybez. 😊 We introduced ourselves to Miguel and he told his Dad that we were there.Trevor came out of the kitchen to talk with us for awhile & went back to fix our meal. The jerk chicken was really good, but the veggies were delicious! I could have eaten a whole plate of them! Told Miguel & Trevor that we would be back. We were tired & went back to our room. Hubby went to bed while I unpacked.
12/23 Beautiful morning - breakfast at Charela. Francella made fresh ginger tea for us. Beach time!
Back to Rondel for cocktails & sunset
Caught a cab to Swordfish
Our first time there and it was one of the best meals of the trip! Lobster Mac n cheese - off the hook!
Christmas Eve - spent the day on Beach & had lunch at Charela. Got cleaned up & headed to Rondel. Do you see a pattern???
We both got a good charge on, so we walked back to Charela and had dinner there. Went up to the room and went to bed. I got into bed and remembered that it was Christmas Eve😳 What the hell...I totally forgot what day it was....I must of had too much fun & lost my mind...I jumped out of bed to decorate our balcony and room.

Thank you, Bluez! Yes, that mac n cheese is AMAZING! Swordfish will be a must stop on all of our trips! We sat upstairs. There were 3 tables of people. By the time our food arrived, they had left & we had the upstairs to ourselves! We had a lovely evening.
