Negril.com is 30 years old this year!

[Rob]

Congratulations, Rob on your 30th! I like the book idea posted above. It's been a long time since Banana Shout was published and I'm sure you've got a few stories of your own to tell. Years ago we met at LTU. I mentioned that I brought my copy of Banana Shout to reread and you said you had been friends with the author and were around during the writing process. 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!!!

Congratulations Rob. Boy! It?s been a long but very satisfying journey. Many years and many stories later, I still have a passion for all things Jamaican and, thanks to you, most things Negril!

I now live in the beautiful Philippines and will most likely never return to my former home, Jamaica. Keep up the good work! There is a very special place in my memory for all the good times we spent together.

Nuff Respect!

Thanks Rob. I forget how small the Negril community is. But, as they said on the old TV show "Dragnet", the stories are true but the names have been changed to protect the innocent. I have thought about writing down some of my own Negril adventures (and misadventures) from over the years but they're locked up for safe keeping in my mind and my heart.

Congratulations Rob. Wishing you continued success.

Congratulations Rob! You created such a valuable resource for all things Negril and we appreciate it. I remember watching the livestreams from Cafe Goaa on Sunday mornings! Great way also to connect us all. Here's to many more years!
