    Trip Report

    A quick trip report for my daughter who was in Negril with her boyfriend in April. . We used to rent a house in Port Antonio when she was little, and traveled around the island, but she hadn't been in Negril since she was 12, 16 years ago.She stayed at White Sands, which she liked, and loved Negril. Good to see the next wave coming along. She said the higglers were a little intimidating at first, but when she showed them my picture, they laughed and said something to the effect "we've known the general for 30 years and you look just like the boss lady" and started to treat her like an old timer. I gave her some extra money to give some business to some of my friends. They particularly enjoyed breakfast and dinner at Charela and the jerk and fried chicken at Vinney's. I made sure she bought fruit and juice from my old friend Merlyn in front of Beachouse Villa who is still reeling from the tragic murder of her daughter and two grandchildren last April by the crazed baby daddy ex (now in jail). We arranged for her to wave to us on the CoCo webcam - and we became addicted to just watching the beach to check out the daily weather and the coming and going. We got a kick out of watching one of the security guards chase Clinton off the beach for trying to tie a bracelet on an unsuspecting tourist. And occasionally we'd watch Barry and Bruce (cigarettes) wave to us on the webcam. Warning - webcam watching can become a dangerous habit. It was almost like a quick revisit for us. And we're thrilled she loves like Negril like we do!

    Barry, your friendly drug dealer. He acts like he owns his area and takes GREAT offense if anyone tries to tell a potential customer that much better ganja is available elsewhere

    Hey Michelle, I'm from Port Huron, MI. Been to Negril every year since 1999. My health took a turn for the worse (semi-paralyzed from stroke in June 2014), but still made it to Negril October 2014. Then I had triple bypass heart surgery (May 2016), was back in Negril October 2016. That's my spot and I'm going till I can't go anymore. You may want to consider contacting Comfort of Home Nursing or someone similar in Negril if you're concerned about health while there.

    Going to Negril pregnant is a sure way to make sure you don't come home pregnant!

    Hi fellow Michigander! Sounds like you have had your share of medical issue’s! Thankfully I’m pretty stable at the moment and hopefully won’t have to worry about health issue’s while there.
