I believe you have it in you to bring the Negril story forward.
    ol,

    I have trying to come up with a story that I would be able to actually put into writing. It would have to be fiction as the truth could get a lot of people in trouble. I have been kicking around the idea of doing a very laid back 007 type story.

    We've only been around for 20 out of the 30 years. I remember Googling "Negril" back in 2006 when we were ready to leave Montego Bay behind and move our stays to Negril. Negril was at the very top of the google results (and still is I just checked!!!). Got a ton of advice for our first trip from this site. It was a godsend. Plenty of characters on the site back then who were more than willing to tell you everything they knew about Negril (I think some of it was even accurate!!). It was a tremendous help to us as we prepared to go to Negril for our first stay. Without Negril.com I am not sure we would have made the move when we did. We've been hooked on Negril and Negril.com ever since. Attending live webcasts and waving to our kids when they were young and staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house while we were enjoying our favorite place were among our (and their) favorite memories.

    I hope Negril knows how lucky it is to have someone like Rob living there and promoting Negril to the masses. We know how lucky we are to call you a friend. Congrats on 30 years of Negril.com and here's to 30 more!!!

    Thank you so much for all you do Rob and congratulations on your 30 year anniversary!! I too stumbled across this site after doing a search for Negril prior to 1 of my trips. The stories, pictures and information from all of the boardies has been entertaining, educating and just downright beneficial in making my trips more enjoyable. Absolutely love the Gilbert story. One of the best short stories I've ever read. Once again, CONGRATULATIONS and thank you!!!!!!
