Brasi Trip Report January 2012 #6
The Gerry G Interview

First a big apology to Juli, I was having difficulty getting online and still don't have a Jamaican cell phone, so I was unable to hook up with her for her part of the interview...I hope your not too upset...LOL...plans never fall through in Jamaica. haha...she'll survive mon. SORRY JULI.

Since Jerry was at Seastar yesterday, and Tawnee had just arrived at the pool...I did the interview while she was there...the quotes are as accurate as I could jot down quickly. I'm on vacation mon.

I wasn't trying to make GerryG look bad, or come across well either. Just some questions for him and that's the only point here. Any discussion of relationships between yardies and Americans or ********** brings up a slew of reactions, so I'm prepared for that. Enough talking...here it is...

Brasi: Ok. Do where boxers of briefs?
GG123: Guess.

(it's boxers)

Brasi: Do you buy your magnum's here or bring them with you.
GG123: I bring them with me...I'm just a regular guy, Brasi.

Brasi: Why do you come to Negril?
GG123: I've never been anywhere else with thi kind of vibe. It's a very special place. I love the ocean. I also want to say that Seastar is an extra value when it comes to food.

Brasi: How many girlfriends do you have in Jamaica?
GG123: It depends on what portion of the vacation you're asking about. (laughs)

Brasi: Are you taking advantage of the social position you are in? (i.e. economic and status of you vs. jamaican women)?
GG123: Of course I am...I'm just kidding. I'm just going with the flow.

At this point Tawnee asked Gerry about the age of the women he chooses to share time with.

GG123: Jody is 29, and has three children. I understand what you are asking and I'm a good guy. I enjoy being here and every relationship I am in is between two consenting adults.

Brasi: If you HAD to choose somewhere else to vacation, where would it be?
GG123: I think Bora Bora. I am not sure of my history but I believe the pirates stopped there and there are accounts of the reaction between them and the wikld exotic women they met.

I came back to the room after some pooltime yesterday, posted my report, and fell asleep at six. I woke at around 10, and ate some snacks I packed, and went back to sleep. Today is up in the air but I feel the gravity setting in. uh oh.

Out for breakfast this am, just gonna walk and see where I end up...Saturday night Seastar party later!!!

A tip for those coming to the West End for the first time: bring good sneakers. I'm glad i brought mine. Walking for any distance in sandals, on pavement which can be wet, or have a few potholes...is easier in Nike's.

More...soon...

edit: Irieworld, Belmont is a fishing village about 10 km east of Sav. I am headed to stay there for the first part of next week...then back to Negril midweek...
