Clarity, Markus and Jamar in Negril – Nov 2011 Trip Report: Day 1-3

[Clarity]

Hey Delta! Long time no see!!

Cali – I’m glad too…

Gerryg123 – haha! Make no mistake, Markus was pissed off earlier that night.

I intentionally avoided writing my side of this story but I would just like to state one thing for the record, before everyone reading this starts Judging me and thinking I’m some kind of floozy that goes wild the minute her husband turns his back…

I wasn't getting daggered on the dance floor swinging my top like a flag over my head or anything like that.

Yes, my guard was down and I accepted the offer for a dance lesson. We had been both been chatting with this guy most of the night. He was fully aware that we were married so I didn’t think there would be anything wrong with this. When it became inappropriate, which it did… I told him to stop and he did. Markus witnessed this and was understandably angry. I’m REALLY glad he walked away instead of punching the guy. I didn’t want to experience a brawl in the jungle…

We left immediately, He was in a rage…we talked and then He was over it. We were off onto the next adventure.

Markus is amazing in that respect. We’ve been married almost 10 years and he knows me better than anyone else on this earth. He knows I’m head over heels for him. He’s not just my husband, he’s my best friend. We have an understanding of each other and a love that I will never take for granted. I’m grateful every day to have him in my life.

Someone brought this up in a trip report once… I think it was you, Gerry -- Jamaica is a really sexual place. Anybody who ventures out to explore the nightlife and stays out past 2 AM will probably encounter a few intense situations. A word of advice to couples, be prepared for this and make sure you’re secure with yourself and your relationship. (And don’t make the stupid mistake I did.)

Markus is not the Jealous type and neither am I. We still had some drama. Everything is just so heightened in Jamaica.. the visuals, the sounds, the tastes, the weather…Somehow it’s easy to find yourself in situations you never imagined, like Alice falling through the rabbits hole.

Afterwards, you feel so enriched from the whole experience and learn so much more about yourself.

Just some thoughts I wanted to share…

Oh and Sandy-Girl, Don’t be afraid of the Jungle. Downstairs after 2 AM may not be for the faint of heart, but Upstairs is completely and absolutely PG.

Day 3 coming up: Trip to Mayfield Falls and Meeting my relative
