Those that walked it then know this was it and those that came after it kind of know it and the rest just get to dream of it.
It early evening cold and wet pack the car add an extra 5 gal. of gas in the trunk remember oil embargo yeah. We have 1,200 miles nonstop to Miami to catch our JAL flight to Mobay,
Tickets round trip about $65.00.
We get to Miami with out running out of gas and get a room at a motel by the airport.
All is good then in the mild of the night the motel wall start to shake police are kicking in the doors on both sides of our room drug raid, so much for a good night sleep, we head to airport and get a earlier flight things are looking up again.
Then it hits you when you step from the cabin to the roll up stairs on the tarmac that first blast of hot hot air and the bright sun, your in paradise.
We walk to the open air terminal just a long lean-to shed really and are hand a Rumpunch on the way.
Our friends how had just been here a month back say just rent a car ok, we head for the rental car counter, sorry moan no cars what a airport without car.
This guy is standing around and said I get you car great, we done know how to get to Negril with out a car our friends said just get a car and turn right out of the airport and keep driving until to come to it.
