I am curious what changes are saddening to you.

Irine I have 'grown up' travelling to Negril for Spring Breaks, middle age vacations, and now old dude vacations. My friends and I have seen plenty of things change and lots of things that have stayed exactly the same. Generally speaking the crowd seems older, like me. When you see younger folks good chance they are there with older friends or family.

Some of the old venues that struggled to keep afloat high season to high season have changed or disappeared. The beach isn't thumping with live music as much as it did in the past, for better or worse, many would argue the better. When I think of Negril 'coming of age' it reminds me of how we all have gotten a little older, a little slower, and little more likely to enjoy a good night's rest instead of trying to count my feet and find my way home at dawn like a vampire.

Oddly enough our group of Negrillerz has gone from 4 or 5 people to more than 20.
