Have fun & Happy New Year TT...hug up your family for me!

[Misti1]

I heard they do a lot of fun parties at the waterpark, even stuff adults can enjoy. Have a great time.. I am SOOOOOOO jealous.

[TiCtOc]

The waterpark is very cool and a great novelty for me and myfamily as England is far too cold to go outdoors to swim.It is fun for adultstoo and often they bring coach loads of people from Kingston down and they allget on stage with the dj and have dancing competitions.It is fun waiting inline when everyone is dancing and singing.Real fun.

Bnewb I have not left yet I will hug you in person, We willhave one final get together if I can remember what day it is what time andwhere everyone is LOL
I took loads of photos at canoe the other night and the nextday and I seem to have lost them
The wifi here has been terrible this morning.Travellers saidit is because it is new years day and heavy internet traffic so it has taken mea looong time to get my things done.My husband has just gone to get everyonechicken and fries and the kids are packing for the waterpark.

I have met so many truly lovely people this trip.Some haverequested that I do not share my photographs of them or say their namespecifically for personal /private reasons and quite a few of them actuallylive here so I totally understand but I know some of them read this board.So ifyou are reading this you know who you are and I have had many lovely specialmoments and conversations and learned new things, Things about life, work,religion, culture, spiritual things, healing and movement advice..just loads ofnew things which I will treasure and learn from, from all of our little magicmoments together.
Some of you like tohide in the background and rarely come out and never speak up or talk out ofturn so it was especially nice to meet those of you that knew where I was goingto be and you just popped up for a little talk.
Too cute!
And one of you speaks ever so gently and quietly and I know you have a zillion stories to sharebut I will get you next time if not before!
A lot of you are very inspirational.
There are a lot of females especially although I think Ihave met about 4 or 5 men too who once had a dream and made it into a reality.
I want to thank you for sharing your private life andthoughts and ideas with me and being an encouragement and inspiration to plodon keep planning and do the same.
Most of you have retired out here but I hope to come beforeretirement age.
All you oldies as I endearingly call you have been anabsolute blast there has been nothing more hilarious than some of my oldies whonever speak on the boards popping up , being fairly shy and very laid back andmake me wonder PARTY POOPER PILE? YAY OR NAY?
And then I think every single one of you have shocked mewith something you do , or something you say or believe.
Some of you cannot manage or prefer not to engage in thenightlife but dyammmm you all sure as heck know how to live daytime!
OLDIES TO DI WORLD!
They are secretly training me up I love all of you, you arehilarious.English people back home would just die of absolute shock and terrorif I ever told them about you.Infact they would never ever believe me.See thisis a problem of mine.
Everyone I know back home has no interest in Jamaica andthey just do not get it or understand, this is the place I need to be becauseeveryone I meet has come from all walks of life and they have so much to shareand so much to give and learn from and they are just damnright funny hilariousjokers.Even through a struggle many of us have shared some funny jokes.
Oldies - I do notknow how people will react to my portfolio if I say I party plan for old folksdays here in Jamaica LOL
Back home old folks days consists of sitting in a cold roomall snivvelling , grumbling about the weather, making cards from craft itemmaybe a game of bingo and a cup of tea- oh and more grumbles a moan and maybethen they fall asleep and dribble a bit LOL
But that is their fun and who am I to judge that is theirlife they living they must enjoy it.
But you lot are on a whole other level!
An old folks day here would consist of one person bringingin mushroom tea another baking a cake some old lovers rock and ska playing on asoundsystem the guys would have their crates of red stripe and magnum, thehippy like ones of you would be doing your yoga and funny trance dancing ohhhhit just sounds too much fun.I need to be an old folks party planner down here!
I have seen sights and heard things that you just would notbelieve but the moments I share here last a lifetime of memories and most ofthem secrets which I take to the grave with me.
So many lovely people here.With so much and many experiencesto share.Jamaicans too not just retirees.Jamaicans have some of the best oneliner jokes that just crack me up.Especially if an older person says it.I amlike WHAT ?OMG OMG What did you just say and they sit there and give a littlechuckle.
My mother in law says funny things now and again she islovely I will have to remember to note down some funny one liners I hear alongthe way.

Clarol at seastar made me laugh, a guy asked her because shehad a santa hat on what would she give him for xmas as he had been a very goodboy so clarol can crack a joke top of her head in two seconds flat and twistthings back..so he said could he sit on her knee and get a present so she saidNO SIRRRR u try to kill me break my legs by sitting on my knee? And whats allthis santa always give give giving and no-one ever giving nothing back so I amsanta so what you got for me LOL He ran away with no response LOL then we rockedto a bit of dancehall THE ONLY MAN SHE WANT LOL I miss her already.

What is that saying americans have?
Don't watch me watch T.V!
Inbetween the partying I have had many fantastic lovelyexperiences as always and I have really enjoyed my time here as has all of myfamily.I will be sad to see it come to an end but I do not know if I can let anend happen.BUT here we go again.My kids have their exams so I do really have toleave at some point.Wish they were homeschooled we could have completed theirexams online or here perhaps.
It is all a learning curve I am going to view some schoolsnext week just incase for my son.Do a little bit of research JUST INCASE.He isa trooper he will fit in and be happy anywhere , when he was just 3 or 4 yearsold he said to me mummy why do we live in England it is rubbish why don't wejust go and live in Jamaica with nana and grandad?
Why indeed my clever little boy what a fantastic idea youhave there son!
All of my husbands family is here apart from a couple ofpeople, his sisters his brothers, neices nephews, parents, aunties , uncles,everyone is here old friends new friends, We see a lot of my dad every day, buthe said he would definately move out here with us if it ever came off.I mean Ihave to bring someone from England to supervise these old folks party daysdon't I.
No corrupting my father I am telling you he is a good man!
NO CORRUPTION LOLOL
I can only imagine what you oldies will do to him LOL it isall good though and he could do with some of your uplifting energy and spiritand vibes to show him that life is not over til the fat lady sings and this bigbelly ooman aint singing just yet!

And group hug to all my boardie friends I loved and lostalong the way I hope we can make it back all together for a group boardieholiday next time and next time I am sooooo going all inclusive LOL if I ambringing the kids all inclusive it shall be! I spent way more than I would havegoing to Beaches so all inclusive next time unless I have my internship beforethen maybe that will be solo or just me husband and son.

If I came alone I would just spend it backpacking for halfof it and half at seastar.Nobody take seastar away from me I MISS IT BAD BADBAD.
Everything is perfect there if you need an event organisingcontact them for sure any kind of intimate gathering birthday wedding orconcert.It is the only place I have seen in all the years that I can trulyrecommend and know without fear that whatever happens they would do theirupmost to make everything perfect for you, and the staff are amazing and Idon't even get paid to say this.!!
Seriously though if you thinking of doing anything westendway cliffs area get your booty straight to seastar or email them.I do not haveone single complaint neither do any of my family and that is MASSIVE that is ahuge deal if nobody moans in my family bigger than you could ever probablyimagine.
I got to check out and eat and sort these books out and goto the waterpark.I once again have nowhere to go-think everythings fully bookedso officially homeless once more LOL Don't call the cops on me haters! I willfind something.Like I always say dont worry about a thing... everything alwaysworks out here , maybe I could hide in the water flume ride and sleep there haha THAT WAS A JOKE BTW someone please call 911

Lastnight I was thinking of how pattys says her husband sometimes wants to poke his eyes out well someone in the cabin next door to me was doing early juggling for 3 hrs straight on the one day i actually thought I would try out this NAP think you all speak of.Unfortunately it was 3 hrs straight of jazz and classical music OMG POKE MY EYES OUTTTTT I AM SO WITH YOU PATTYS HUSBAND I know the poke my eyes out feeling now for sure! I like the music but 3 hrs straight come on someone sing something say something! DO something LOL I did not experience the NAP and probably never will!

[TiCtOc]

LOL I am sorry but the boardie wars are funny they make me laugh some are downright cruel and mean but you just gotta laugh because it shows how some people LOVE to revel in drama.
I am sorry I cannot take the time to get involved in wars and drama I am here just to have fun with my family that is what holidays are for.I wish you all the best and hope you all have fantastic fun filled happy family holidays here.When someone says something the background explosions behind the scenes on FB and email and through other sources telling the REAL reasons behind some peoples comments are entertaining to say the least.But I try not to get in deep in others buisness as that is what it is and it is theirs not mine.But entertaining none the less.
Rob does a fantastic job on this board I can only imagine the behind the scenes stuff he sees and hears after about 20 years OMG it is all too funny.
Hope you all come to Jamaica and have a blast.We are tourists, it is a holiday destination that is what it is for.
I will never understand going to a bar for fun and a stranger sitting next to me saying ooh did you hear about so and so and do you know what she said he said she did ohhh did you know this what do you think about that?she said he said blah blah BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
It is THEIR business No I dont know what he said she said I dont give a crap lets get some cocktails and watch the sun go down and be happy thats what I paid for not the extra cirricular bs half of which is probably lies anyway but I don't listen that carefully to start picking it apart coz its not my business, My business is my business and everyone elses is theirs.As long as I continue to surround myself with happy positive people that is all I need to be happy.
Here is a song I found funny too
apologies in advance
