This is a great thread topic, Gerry

I have to agree with the very first comment from Jaherring

Ralston from the Grand Pineapple is the best Security guard hands down.



It was our first time in Negril and we devoted pages of our trip report to him.

He made us feel at home and comfortable in Jamaica. He took the time to explain the ins and outs of the seven mile strip. He watched over us like a big brother. He made us laugh and he put us at ease. No other security guard has ever measured up. He's funny, knowledgeable and so incredibly caring. Meeting someone like Ralston helped cement our love for Jamaica. He's so cool too. I can't describe him adequately, you just have to meet Ralson and you'll know what I'm talking about. We loved him!

Unfortunately he's at "Beaches" now and no longer works at Grand Pineapple, but we're hoping to walk down there and visit him on our next reach. Best Security guard ever! hands down! If Ralston is taking care of you, you know you're in good hands. When I think of our first trip to Jamaica, I think of Ralston and I have to smile. He is amazing.

I got into backyard astronomy about 20 years ago and took a small telescope to Jamaica with me. I used to stay at Secret Paradise on the far west end. There were very dark skies there so it was perfect for star gazing. I got up in the middle of the night and set up my scope on the pool deck. It didn't take long for Tony (Buju) Banton to saunter over to see whatt I was up to. Once he understood what I was up to he went and killed the lights in the immediate vicinity of the pool. We had a great time over the next several nights exploring the planets, Milky Way, various clustes and nebulae, Andromeda Galaxy and just barely, the Virgo cluster of galaxies. There is something awe inspiring about looking at star light that had been traveling for up to millions of years before hitting your eyes. Before homo sapiens walk our planet. What had transpired in that galaxy in the intervening years? Were there backyard astronomers looking at the Milky Way?

I left my binoculars and Peterson Field Guide to the Stars and Planets with Tony as a gift. The next year, he was eagerly ready to get back on the scope. He told my wife that he had been studying the field guide every night for the past year. Tony had become a better informed backyard astronomer that I was!

I agree, Michael from Legends is fantastic, i have met him twice but really got to know him last reach .... Legends also has a good driver up front -- forgot his name but it was a brand new car w leather seats, one of the nicest i've ever seen in Negril.
