Dear Tic,

This has been one of the most wonderful and entertaining trip reports I've read. You are a boardie rock star! The energy, honesty, humor and flow of your writing, is like riding a wave or going through the rapids. We rock through the bumps, but wind up in a passive pool to just, whew, relax a bit. You squeeze all you can out of a day, running through the ebb and flow of family, keeping us up on your foodie flings, drop us into a sunset, followed by a tilt-a-whirl evening at the Jungle. Wow.

There is just someting about being in Negril that grabs ya, and you are great at relating it.

Your kids are adorable (teens don't read that part) and looks like you all get along in a tight bunch. Your husband is lucky and wise. He got you, kudos, which says quite a bit on its own merits. He understands your need to rev it up, and seems to be a trooper. Everyone’s family functions differently, I’m glad you are open to share yours with us.

Looking forward to more TR as you travel around the rock, as you let us in on that fabulous stream of consciousness. We’ll meet sometime and I know that your smile will light the room, bar, beach or cliff and I’ll know you’re there.
