I always find that a swedish or deep tissue massage helps me relax while on vacation.[/QUOTE]
So do I! A gnarly deep tissue, stop I'm about to cry, massage. You'll be mush when it is over and will have to motivate yourself to do anything. Beverly Haslam I believe is the lady I used on my last two reaches and she will come to you at Seastar.
Hey Brasi, I like how you share the insides of your trip as well as what's going on the outside. Loving the Belmont story...
Thanks all for checking in, having a blast chillin and talking with Bigga, and his wife Gwen who runs the plACE...fish tonight family style! Perfect after sunsite vibe, goats chickkens kids running around, like a neighborhood...because it is! LOL

brasi, how did you find out about the belmont guest house? It looks really sweet. I hope your vacation from your vacation does you well. And remember you can do the same relaxing in Negril. Massages (as mentioned) great ital foods and fresh juices--you can make your trip whatever you want it to be. I have done it both ways-- the party too much sleep too little come home tired way as well as the healthful vibe. All trips include lots of swimming, walking and sun, so I usually come back refreshed. I have to remind myself when there that just because I am on vacation doesn't mean I have to do rum punch marathons.
Just had an amazimg family style meal. There is just me, and a single mom from the Great Northwest here with her son and daughter...guess who she is hanging with? The SEASAR GUY!
He's an awesome dude, they seem to be having a good time and he came all the way here to spend his day off with her...love...love love! LOL
The meal---sorry no pics I hadn't asked Gwen---and taking pictures of my plates nightly at home isn't common, is this an "ask necessary" deal? lol Should I just DO it? LOL
Some potato-type things with some dough things in a bowl. Delicious!
Three seared pieces stewed fish in a reddish sauce. Sooo good
A nice salad and fresh squeezed OJ
The best way to explain this meal: picture your mom cooking for you, and extrapolate the quality on to a Jamaican dish of your choosing...$600J!!!!
Any help is appreciated on nailing down the names of these dishes...
The mom, kids and our Seastar friend got their own "servings" as dishes came out, and I got mine own, the Bigga's family was scattering 'round all helping. When we were served they ate at their family table...this may be typical, but it was my first time dining this way, and I thoroughly enjoyed the food and conversation...
It's so relaxing...peepers...waves from across the road wooshing...
Thanks for the advice Irie! I think I have done my partying for this trip.
DISCLAIMER: vaca is only half over, so...LOL
I am staying at Shades Cottage in Belmont. I found the place from a boardie tip---where else---on Negril.com!
