[Clarity]

Thanks everyone!
Maryann – That’s Sheldon and his family – He works at Mayfield falls. The little girl on the left was so adorable. She talked up a storm and danced with Jamar until he was entirely breathless!

Lenny – You’ll be glowing soon! Only Three more days to go!!

PGW- haha, Yeah, we did cram 2 weeks into six nights – we would have done more if we didn’t have to sleep.

Marley/Shauna – We LOVED the dirty banana’s!! Thank you! We were so touched by the postcard and your gift!– did you see how Carol swirled the straw wrapper around and put bananas on the edges to make our first Dirty Banana at Catcha extra special? Yummmm!! We were in complete bliss. We loved everyone at Catcha, they were so much fun. (I knew you’d enjoy that shot of the Catcha Crew partying it up!) We're definitely going back! I’m so psyched that you’re planning on going back end of April - Can’t wait to meet you! (hopefully!! – We have five months to save up enough money *fingers crossed*)

.... I find that when you find somewhere that makes you happy and you go there, when you come back you smile brighter, walk lighter and love deeper. Jamaica is my spiritual bleach if you will. Cleans out the grime makes me smile because I'm happy and more importantly because my wife is.

Hold on to that feeling for as long as the outside world will let you. And trust me they try to take it from you. But just remember everything is Irie....

Ralonzo – I love what you wrote! So true…There is something about Jamaica that cleanses the spirit and gives you a better perspective.. a deeper appreciation for life…I’m going to try to hold on to this feeling as long as I can.

Sweetness, Negrilbay and Aud-a-Sea – Have an amazing time in Negril!

Oh, and one last thing: please include every single detail about Triple X down to the colors the dancing girls were wearing!

LOL! You crack me up, Gerry - Will do! I have a picture of one of the dancers..she was really cool. It was only 3:30 AM, so it wasn’t that wild there yet.

RumRunner – I have to confess, I did cry. I was at Fun Holiday for the webcast. It was our last five minutes in Negril…Chicken was waiting in the parking lot. Steve West was singing “Last Dance” to us and playing the guitar.
The tears started filling my eyes. I brushed them away quickly with the back of my hand so that the other boardies wouldn’t see me getting all emotional. Of course, that’s when Markus turns around and said loudly “Daisy, are you crying?” I shook my head and hit him.

TicToc – oh!! I almost forgot!!
I looked for those earings for you!
Bella Bea and I were checking out some shops on the beach (see pic)
and I found these…



If you like any of these earrings, you can find his shack right inbetween ROOMS and Grand Pineapple. He has really good prices.

and Tic, I have another pic for that I think you'll get a kick out of



Yeah, that’s me on the beach getting dance lessons! lol

Well done C and you know I was wondering about that ear-ring picture thanks, I used to have 2 pairs off that board too they are nice.

[Sprat]

Ahhhh...Our favourite young boardie couple!!!

Clarity and Marcus... I love you two, and we haven't even met ...hahahha

Fabulous photos and I am sooooo loving how you have enjoyed the cliffs. It's a magical place all its' own...and you have now discovered that

Thanks so much for sharing your adventures...we caught you guys at the Canoe and Marcus dancing with Bea at SeaStar. For your second trip you have now ventured farther into the grips of Negrilaholicism

You guys are the best! You have helped me get through this week....

Soon come !

[marley9808]

Wow! I know...I was LOVING the pic of the dirty bananas.....Carol did them up REAL NICE for you! I'm thirsty! lol
Glad you guys liked them....we wanted to leave you something nice to welcome you to our "Home" LOL
And I am really glad you guys liked Chicken too, he is a great guy and friend

We have our room tentatively booked and we are ready to book airfare too, just waiting to get the "OK" for the time off, so I sure hope you guys can make it in April....that would be a fun time for sure! We started saving up too! Ya mon!
Hoping we can get a lot of boardies together at that time...then we could do a group trip....maybe to Pelican Bar and YS on Chicken's Magic bus! That would be a great time!

[TizzyATX]

YAYYYY!!! Sounds like a wonderful experience. The photos are stellar of course....can't wait for more + trip report. Patience won't be easy but good things do come to those who wait.

So you learned some moves? You got a video of that? BTW, you look stunning in that white dress...

[gerryg123]

I would be interested to know your comparisons between the top cocktails at Seastar Inn compared to Catcha -- the dirty bananas, the Purple Rains, etc. .... Also, your impressions of Chris and Francine? I know they've been working hard getting Seastar upgraded, and I'm hoping they appreciate the differences -- as I am sure all of us will once we arrive.

[marley9808]

BTW, you look stunning in that white dress...

YES!!! I agree....I saw you wearing it at the Canoe webcast and that was exactly what I said....I love that dress! You look so pretty

Also, I keep looking at all of your photos and I just love them all so much, but one of my new favorites is now the one of Markus.....the look on his face as he watches the sunset....thats the same look I have while I am in Jamaica.....pure and absolute relaxation and bliss

LOVE IT!

[Clarity]

Sprat - We really hope we can some day meet you!! - yes, we have ventured far into the grips of Negrilaholicism lol - there's no turning back now. We're sucked in entirely and powerless to the addiction.

Marley & Tizzy - thank you for the kind compliment on my dress. I ended up wearing it alot because I forgot to pack my bug spray and spent a lot of time outside on the balcony my first night in Jamaica. I had quite a few bites on my legs that I was hiding under that dress. haha!

oh and I'm so excited that you booked your next trip, Marley!!
To answer your previous question about Blue Cave castle, we did visit Jamar there and it was beautiful! He had such a chill time there.

Gerry - As for the drinks comparison Seastar Inn vs. Catcha

Catcha trumps Seastar when it comes to presentation and size. Big glass, beautiful garnish and amazing staff keeping you laughing and entertained. The views are breathtaking, it's like paradise there!
.
But Seastar beats Catcha when it comes to bang for your buck drink-wise.

The dirty banana at Seastar is sufficiently strong.. Small plastic cup and more brown in color from all the rum they pour in there, and you can't beat the two for 1 price happy hour. Staff was also so fun. I loved the swim up bar!

I truly loved both places!

I didn't have the opportunity to meet Francine but Chris is awesome. He introduced himself to us early on and talked with us. Really made us feel at home.I'm also grateful to him for retrieving something very important to me and he refused to accept any compensation for it. More about that in my trip report.
