I was thinking about it: Like a lot of us, I have often arrived stressed, overworked, exhausted and desperately looking forward to a vacation.
When it's time to leave, I am serene and calm, healthy feeling, exhilerted and ready to take on the world -- and also looking forward to coming back home (but not as much I was looking forward to arriving in Negril!).
Does anyone else feel the personality and outlook change that Negril can give us?
I definately do not look forward to going home never no way
I never want to leave
It's gotten rather routine over the last few trips. Always look forward to seeing the family and always happy to get home to the other paradise I live in.

So far the 10 to 12 day solo trips are enough for me, when I get near the end I need to get home for a rest!
Trip #59 most of February
I became more beautiful. It's TRUE.....Jamaica makes you better looking. For example, there were two welders from Canada staying at Banana Shout. One of the guys was a bit homeley when he got there, but by the time he left HE LOOKED LIKE BONO!
Na True??
I become who I really am.
Rise early, treat everyday as though it's your last and your last day as it's your first.
The last time I came home I had to go from the airport to chair a union meeting.
I was wearing a new Jamaican flag T-shirt.
I accidently spilled coffee on it just as I got to the meeting.
I didn't want to stain the shirt so took it off and I rinsed it out.
Now I had no shirt.
I believe it was the only WI Teacher's union board meeting ever chaired by a bare breasted president.
a long time ago, we started noticing how different people looked on the plane ride home after a week or two!
it was a complete change in most....going down........... stiff and bewildered, pale and the whitest clothes Ive ever seen....
coming back.........tanned,sits in the seat like a poured cocktail, a skinned up leg or elbow here and there........silly sh*t-eatin grin from ear to ear.....and the during mid sentence falls asleep, with that smile.............
MERRY CHRISTMAS

This thread has inspired me to be scientific.
My G/F is taking her first trip to Negril.
She is super organized, super efficient, super hard working, and can be (from time to time) uptight.
I'm going to record an interview with her daily (from trip down to trip home) to see if you can visibly chart the "Negril Effect".
This could be a fun experiment if I don't get too laid back to carry it off.
Maybe I should get some baseline footage as sort of a control.
