You have no money for food, you don't have a place to stay next week, but you found enough cash for a bar crawl? Or did I misread this? I hate myself for being judgemental, but really, what were/are you thinking?

I don't know but whatever you were thinking you thought right!
As long as the kids are looked after I am a big girl I have been througha lot worse and in a lot less scenic places it is not the end of the world and remember I am not telling you to do this it is just what I am doing and I do have an emergency back up plan we also have family who live here so we will not be on the streets.
I am a planner there is usually a plan.It always works out.
While we are on the subject of kids and food they all just had the chicken fingers with handmade fries at the seastar inn and I have to say they tasted delicious.Bargain , get them for the kids very nice and a big thumbs up all around from everyone .I will have to ask them about the meals they have tried but the chicken fingers and fries is definately a thumbs up.
I have 30 dollars or so left so I think a trip to canoe is in order!steelpan band 241 strong rum punch nice people and webcast yes think we shall all head on down!
My sentiments exactly, my husband and family would have disowned me, I'm sure this was written in satire though for dramatic effect. No one in their right mind would publicly neglect their husband and kids for the sake of a pub crawl or rum.Originally Posted by bbcamp2

It all worked out in the end and FYI to clarify the bus crawl is FREE and hubby can take care of himself he's a grown man .Hardly think I neglected him lol its called meeting friends on holiday socialising which I only do ONCE A YEAR on holiday as I do not go out at home
We had a great holiday and will do so again
Seriously looking forward to the christmas eve party here at the hotel the band are here today rehearsing and it is very exciting!
Get down here everyone!

"Survivor...Negril".........!!!
I always wanted to be on that programme LOL now is my chance except they had a team a creative team full of mates! Well I have all of you I guess.
Food-wise
it *seems* to me that you-all --- kids included --- are avoiding & missing-out on ALL the great food-stuffs that Jamaica has to offer ..
tru tru, it's NOT USofA, Canadian, or England-food, but it's GREAT stuff, to say the least.
for example,,,,
since you're frequent-ing the Canoe area,
there's MiYard across the road from EazyRockSue's old place
across the road (again) is a neat little market,
which has all kinds of in-expensive Jamaican junk-food thing-ys,
such as cookies, bisquits, drinks, sodas, and various kid-friendly snacks
right-there,
next-door to EazyRockSue is a SUPER-DUPER-WONDER-FULL eatery with LOCAL-prices, and fantastic Jamaican-cuisine
further down the road,
going toward downtown(?) & the round-about
is Seaview Lounge & Restaurant
...they have GREAT-food at GOOD-prices
oh
oh
oh::::>>>> as you travel down the road
at FiWi-plaza there're 1 or 2 eateries on the first-floor
dunno if he's still there (operating & cooking), but look for a place run by a guy named Zaro
....you'll be over-glad you did eat there
moving right along
after Seaview,
as you round the corner,
there's the orange-man (Mr.Peru(sp?)),
this time of year he *might* have grapefruits
...the grapefruits you'll get in Jamaica are out of this world...!!!..
...he may have oranges (of course), and/or tangerines
moving right along,
traveling toward the round-about & beyond,
there's Hammonds for great-patties
...many-folks opt for JuicyBeef or TanTan,
but do-give Hammonds a try
....there's are really good
moving right along
in the small-mall just beyond Hammonds
..the end-shop is a GREAT place to eat
* sigh *
my brain is asleep
can't remember the name right now
but the place is pure-vegetarian,
but GREAT-stuff,
at good prices
NOT opened on Saturdays
..owners are 7thDayAdventist
moving right along
go toward the police station
over-to the bus-park
waaaaaaaaaaay in the back
is a MUST-VISIT cook-shop
local-prices
and some of the best-est-ever Jamaican homecooking you're ever gonna find/experience/taste/eat
it's been over 6-months since i've been to-Negril,
but i KNOW for SURE that there're PLENTY of good-eating-spots around Negril,
and you WILL NOT have-to pay tourists prices for whatever
oh
oh
oh:::>> on the beach-road
..check out Fatties, MissSonia's, Collettas, OneMile, and ANY-other place that caters to the resident/local-pallets
keep in mind that too-many Jamaican-workers in-Negril DO NOT eat at the tourist places, cause they can't afford it, and/or they KNOW there're better alternative$ & option$:::: for example, IF you're earning US$75 per week (or less), and you need to eat (lunch) where would you eat...??..
check with some of the hotel-staff where you're stay-ing
they *might* share info with you as to where to go-eat cheaper
i always like to walk-up on some somebodys
when i see them eating something-something (in a carry-out container)
and asked 'em::::>>> "..WHERE did you get that...??.."
i've *found* some GREAT eateries this way
if you like to booze-it-up
then buy a bottle or two or three
or a gallon or whatever
the Chinaman stores sell booze at great prices
avoid the ValueMaster and especially that HiLo
GO to the Chinaman's place(s) for your booze
do the math:::
a couple 100-Jamaican dollars for a cup of what-ever
OR
couple-more Jamaican dollars for a bucket-full of booze ...????....
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i KNOW what i'd do
again:::>> enjoy you trip
and again:::>> try not to deprive you pickneys of the opportunities to experience all that great Jamaican cuisine, tastes, etc. .... they sweeties & candies & pastries are soooooooooooo good, and cheap
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...
WHEREAS it's Christmas-time,
there're probably a quite a few season-specific cakes & pastry goodies on the shelves RIGHT-NOW
oh
oh
oh::::>> do ALL you can can to find some '..sorrell..'
LAWD JEEZUS...!!!...
this traditional Jamaican holiday drink will make your toes curl backwards
...the pickneys will love it
......it's good with or without liquor mixed-in
bone aper-teet(sp?)
be hapPpy
p.s.... PLEASE PLEASE post:::>> how things '.go.' on ChristmasEve,
and most importantly:::>> on ChristmasDay, and BoxingDay
around Negril.
for example, what is open and what is not
how many folks are out & about on ChristmasEve
again:::>> joy-up ya-selves
oh
oh
oh:::> walk-down
to the riverside
under/near the Negril bridge/river
buy your fish THERE,
from the fishermens
..they'll clean it for you
you might get lucky,
and somebody(s) will cook-it-up for you, right there, on the spot, if you share-some with the cooking-person
be hapPpy
Hey Tic, Greenleaf Cabins quoted me something like $35 or $40 per night for the end of the month, and they had space. Maryann@greenleafcabins.com
