TiCtOc pon di rock LIVE AND DIRECT **TRIP REPORT** On a Zero budget.

[Scott Rice]

Tic-Toc.... your trip report is amazing..... I was actually in the wonderful world of Negril during the 2nd week of December 2012 (my fourth time in 13 years).... but unfortunately I
went with a female companion (newbie) that said she was all about the fun and the party, and the culture, etc... .... but sadly, learned that I think she would have been
better off in the Bahamas or on a Florida beach being waited on..how can anyone complain on the most beautiful place in the world?..lol .. false advertising, yeah....

Wish I would have run into your one woman party train running through the island........

I tell people all the time about my Negril.... it's not for everyone, get plenty of rest PRIOR to your trip, and learn how to roll with things, and dammit,
remember you are in someone else's hometown... act accordingly, but enjoy the experience...

You are the definition of that person.... imho.... and it shows and if I could had punched the eject button and gotten on the good time train during my
stay, I would have welcomed the chance with open arms... woulda, coulda, shoulda.... I know that at one point I got to the end of my enjoyment of
my companionship (she returned home 4 days early) and just roamed the beach all night with whatever drink and smoke I could find just to hear the ocean, and take in the enjoyment of meeting
anyone and everyone,... even when it was dead, and I had no idea where to go or what was going on.... but it didn't matter because I was there

I envy you for your energy and enthusiasm for the place that I call mi second home... and the funniest thing about Negril to me is that I am not the most
social person at home here in Texas... some would even say quiet or reserved, but then I get in Negril it brings something out of me that I can't explain
or describe... and suddenly, everyone become friend or family, and I become open to the world and everything it has to offer....

Didn't mean to drag on... this is your report, and your time.... but I just want to say thank you for your report and pics and thank you for being you....
you and all the great people of Jamaica are the reason the experience is what it is.... there is no place like home, and no place like Negril

... but unfortunately I
went with a female companion (newbie) my companionship (she returned home 4 days early)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who leaves Negril 4 DAYS early!!!!!!!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me............I wish I could have taken her place.

You know I tried to talk her into getting with the spirit of things and letting her hair down... but I think she had a different vision of what Negril was like.... even
though I talked at length about Negril for months (I get long winded on Negril at times, maybe some of you can relate..grin)... but in the end, I wanted to save my own vacation... so I put her in a taxi and waved while thinking "Don't let the door hit ya...."... no worries, apologies TicToc for branching off amidst your trip report....

Scott Rice,

Granted it's been a few years since I've been in Negril but I was in Jamaica twice in the past two years and visited Negril more times than I can remember since 75 and I find it hard to believe that your female travel partner leaving four days early could hardly put a dent in your trip. Sounds like you shed the thousand pound Gorilla off your back before she ruined the whole trip on you. I have always found traveling alone to be far more enjoyable and rewarding than with somebody else. I have visited JA with male college friends, girlfriends, wife and children and have found the trips alone to be much more rewarding. As far as a single guy in Negril goes it used to be a great place to meet single women both Jamaican and tourists of all shapes, sizes, points of view so unless Negril has changed drastically I would assume the likelihood of female companionship for your last four days, if you wanted, would be no problem. Next trip you'll know better.
