Tictoc I am so sorry I left too soon to get a chance to meet you, and love your trip report..I just want to quote this because it really explains so well why I went deep into debt myself to get to Negril to spend 26 wonderful days..

"Some people would say thats reckless I call it working with what you have.
Some people would say if you can not afford to go then why go?
Well why not?
I think if I am going to be broke I might aswell do it some place I love with nice scenery and weather.There is an ocean full of fish to catch as a last resort.
You sometimes have to live for the here and now not sit at home waiting for "one day" to happen and fall into your lap.
You have to go and grab it while you can because "one day" may never happen.So make it work with what you have and just hope that "one day" better must come."



I am just loving reading your trip report, and am looking forward to hearing more!
