TizzyATX Trip Report - 1st Timer

[TizzyATX]

Thanks! Looking forward to writing up the next...

Nice report! We went to the same place for horseback riding on our first trip, also. Our last trip we made it to YS Falls and I loved it. The rope swing was HILARIOUS! My husband went first and he said halfway down he realized it was higher up than he thought lol. My daughter and I did the ziplines...I must be a chicken because I will never do it again!!

My bf wants to do the zip lines this year...you will have to tell me more about it. I may PM if you if you dont mind.

Great report! I love when someone gets it... Love the pic of Alfred, that was special!

Only takes one time to get it Correct me if I'm wrong...did I see somewhere that you'll be in Negril next month?

Fantastic pictures..the one of Alfred really tugged my heart ...Joe and his posse are going to take my group out to the horse ranch when we come back next..and a million other places ..It looks like a lot of fun..and i loved your report ...Im always sad to see them end...always ..

Patty ya'll will have a fabulous time at Country Western!! I'll be looking forward to pics/report

You have further confirmed for me that I will be going to YS Falls. I can't do all the jumping and whatnot because Little Guy will be with me but I'm going to enjoy as much as I can of it.

Ohhhh no you dont! You're not off the hook....I'm sure one of the super friendly and helpful staff there would be happy to stand with Little guy so momma can take a swing off the rope! HA! I want a pic. Just playing, but it is SO much fun. Can't wait to hear about your trip with the wee one!!

Not sure how I missed this report in Nov but I really enjoyed your perspective...glad to see that you'll be back in Negril soon. I'll be right behind you in May.

Thank you! Hope your trip is safe and mad fun!!

Tizzy. Do you have some contact info for Country Western? I was told by a couple people that they were out of business but it sure doesn't sound like it. We ended up going to Rhodes Hall to ride in January but I really wanted to try Country Western. Heard it was a lot better.

Nice work lady. I like the quality of your pics, level horizon and clarity, and thought it was great how you wrapped it up with Alfred. Thanks for sharing and look forward to seeing you next month.

Amazing Tizzy! You spread a lot of joy and love by sharing your pics and stories. It is truly a magical place to be sure. Going in a week for trip 11 and it NEVER gets old. Will be spreading the ashes of my friends mom who sadly never got to visit in person but now will live on there in spirit forever.
You seem like a great person and I know Jamaica loves you right back! Have a great second trip in April and I am going to be greedy and ask for round two of those trip reports.. You possess a great gift sister!

I will message you with what I got...and it comes with high recommendation

Thanks Booger. Can't wait...

Wow that is really special. I'm sorry for the loss but this will be wonderful way to bring peace and closure to family and friends. How beautiful. I can't think of a better place to heal and celebrate life.

Thanks for your nice post. I look forward to hearing YOUR trip report too...I will not disappoint.

Thanks Tizzy... If you knew my buddies mom..you would know she was our kind of people. At 85 she'd still get dolled up to the nines and cruise around in her convertible. Drove the boys crazy even in her autumn years! Near the end ( last year which is why we skipped our trip ) she and my buddy Jon gathered at her hospice bedside with a blender, pineapple rum and some island tunes! "let's do it while we still can!" was her battle cry! It is that very spirit that we will be taking with us... The spirit of Priscilla will forever grace that island now. I think we will commend her at Ricks... Though touristy (it is still one of my annual guilty. pleasures) it is the kind of place where her life of the party personality would have flourished.

Secondly wanted to recommend a great book and must read for any Negril lover: WALK GOOD by Roland Reimer. Written about 25 years ago if memory serves it is a splendid account of the sites sounds and experiences that everyone on this site holds so dear. It is a fun and easy read and good inspiration for things to do and people there who still enrich the Negril scene. If you read it I would love your review on it. Thought you are such a naturally gifted writer that a book like that would be something you would love. Cheers!

Hey Chiilinthemost,
Roland is actually a boardie on here who goes by Kahuna. Agreed it's a great read as well as his new book Sunset Negril.

Hey Roland,
Get the ol' typewriter out and give us a new read. Your last trip report was great but short lived.

Cool Booger. Didnt know I had greatness in my very midst! It was a great book and is always good for a Negril fix when Minnesota and January conspire. Thanks for the heads up... Very cool to know ! ( good thing I loved his work, eh?)

Beautiful Trip report! I enjoyed it so much!! Loved the new pictures you posted!


The picture of Alfred at the end is really special…


This means I have to get on the ball and finish my Trip Report too already.
I can’t use the “Well, Tizzy still hasn’t finished hers yet….” Excuse anymore. lol

I really look forward to meeting you in April!!
