A Time For Transitions ~

[Laurel]

We spent some real quality time roaming around Port Antonio ~ this business caught our eye ~ could not help myself ... just had to capture these

[Laurel]

Fire Fly ... WOW ~ what a glorious place. Truly one of the most romantical places ever!!

Laurel, I have been loving your report and photos. The pots place and Rebecca was wonderful (I am a Rebecca also), what a lovely girl and great pots. Good for you for trying out a scooter. I rented a motorcycle a couple of trips back and hadn't ridden one for over 20 years--it was an adventure to say the least.

The china, crystal, and silver was used when Noel Coward entertained the Queen Mum ... the glass table on the patio is where the lunch was served~

Hello Rebecca ~ seriously ... I can not even express how awesome this adventure was! I hope everyone gets the opportunity to extend themselves "beyond Negril" .... while I will always love Negril and all it has to offer ... the whole of Jamaica is SO SPLENDIFEROUS!! I knew I would love it and in usual fashion ~ Jamaica did not disappoint ~

and regarding the bikes ... LOVE THEM!!! We rented cars on several weekends during my stay - and I would have Bim carry me to The Palladium and I would have Clives pick me up from there to carry me to the airport to collect the cars ~ and the same for the return ... Clives would carry me to the Palladium, and he would pick me up .... ANYTHING to get a nice long ride!!! I just LOVE it!

Hey Laurel: some reason I felt more comfortable riding a motorcycle on the left than driving a car-- I thought if I was in car I would have less wiggle room if my natural US driving habits took over and I veered to the right side of the road. I have yet to get up the courage for a car but really want to do the Port Antonio road trip so I must get brave!

Oh Laurel, how pleased I was to see your posts. You really look great. Maybe Jamaica can do the same for me when I return.

Great Laurel...things do seem big and lush over there! We too loved Firefly, chatted up the tour guide for a while...the view...well what can we say about the view...Beyond words...

Thanks ...seems you were just a stones throw behind us ....

YaHoo on the driving Rebecca ... I have been enjoying driving for a few years now ... just have to get solid on that scooter ~ then I will be set.

JaMissie ... you need to take care of yourself properly first!! You have had a tough time of things for too long now! Hope you are feeling well these days ~

Spratts ... - it would have been fun to have seen you over that side ~ but we were both just too busy enjoying everything to worry about 'boardie meetings' ~ nuh tru? I could feel your spirit tho ~ we did show up in spots just after you had been!!

Patts ~ glad you are enjoying ~ I think I met you briefly at Spratts Party - right? Happy Holidays!
