    Day 5:
    We get up eat and decide to walk to the yoga center on the beach. From the Treehouse it's quite a haul to the public park. We make it there but we are late,we cut through the park and crossed the street to go to the center. The class is already in progress but the instructor lets us join in anyway. We both
    get absorbed in the class. After class we meet the instructor Fannette and we apologize for being late and she's says it's ok. We both enjoyed the class and
    we both feel real good and relaxed, we both want to come back tomorrow.
    It's kind of a cloudy day so we decide to walk back on the street. We stop at times square and walk around for about hour after that we are a little hungryand Marie wants to try some patties. So I remember that Miss Sonia's is nearby and we walk there and order some patties. Miss Sonia isn't there but
    the patties were still hand-made to order and are delicious and big!!! After lunch we stop at Shamrock for a 6 pack of RS lights for the room.
    It starts to clear up when we reach the Treehouse so we lay out for the rest of the day. I say it's time for her to see a sunset from the cliffs so I suggest we go to push cart for dinner. We get a ride up there from Clive. I love the view from Push Cart and Marie really thinks it's beautiful too. I show her the
    Rockhouse hotel and then tell her the story of the pirate's cave below. We watch as the Sandals boat drives halfway in the cave and watch some local
    boys jump from cliffs for tips from the Sandals boat. It's a really cool vibe. We both enjoy our drinks, a papaya daquiri for me and a rum martini for her.
    I ordered the jerk fish salad and she gets the jerk sausage. Both were sooo good and spicy, we have to order some cornbread to combat the spice! But it was good, at this point Marie is soo impressed with the food in JA and says to me "now I see why you keep coming back here"....another negrilaholic in
    the making!!! We enjoy the dinner, drinks and sunset followed by some more drinks at the Treehouse.

    Day 6:
    We eat breakfast and take a taxi to yoga. Then spend the day on the beach walking, chillin and enjoying cocktails. As we were walking past Sea Splash
    we see Ricardo standing outside on the beach. We both do a double take and he's like it's me Ricky from Kuyaba !! He says he works here too so he says
    they have 2 for 1 drinks specials and we go in and meet the bartender (who looks like a cuter tiger woods) Marie says she want's a special rum drink and
    he whips us up a jamaican delight ! They drinks are delish we enjoy them as a guy sits down next to us and introduces himself as one of the new owners
    and we talk to him for a while then head back to get ready for dinner. We decide to go to Canoe bar. I thought it was webcast night (I really have no
    concept of time or what day it is when in JA). We get there and it's not a webcast night and it's pretty empty. We both order pasta with garlic bread, the waitress is a little slow and confused over the menu but she's nice and we are in a relaxed mood so it's ok. Our dinners arrive and the portions were
    huge it looked like a whole pound of pasta each. Both are good and neither of us finish and we bring home the leftovers. We have a few more drinks at
    the Treehouse and chill in the hot tub for a while before going to sleep.

    Loving your trip report and can't wait to be back at the Tree House! Its fun to see a newbie fall in love with Jamaica. I love it when people say to me, Jamaica again? My standard response is "you've never been, have you?"

    now that sounds like such a mellow rejuvenating time--with awesome food. Thanks for posting. I wonder why they target single female travelers from Jamaica for screening coming back to the US. I always went straight through with no issues--hope it continues that way. I usually travel light and only bring back coffee, jerk sauce and maybe some jewelry or rum--so it wouldn't be an issue if I got searched. But once I get home I want to be on my way out of the airport as soon as possible.

    Anyhow looking forward to photos!

    gerry, I never tried their pizza believe it or not...my friend wanted to order it one day after she saw one someone else ordered but we opted for sandwiches
    Rex have a good time in March, Treehouse guests are loyal, you get spoiled there and don't want to stay anywhere else although SeaStar comes close but
    they don't have a beach or view!
    I needed for it to be a mellow rejuvenating trip since I have been non-stop since my April reach.
    I did mean to get over to a webcast but you know how plans and sand gravity get you......all plans up in smoke....haha
    The Customs agents also target people with a lot of Jamaica stamps on their passport and all my stamps are from JA !!!!!! So I really looked suspicious
    apparently !!!

    I still can't post pics it says database error????? any easier way to post pics?

    I truly enjoyed reading your trip report! Thanks for sharing! Treehouse is one of the Negril hotels that I've been most curious about, (that and Banana Shout.) I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures!

    You mentioned that you were having problems posting them because of a database error.
    You can do what I always do...it's not necessarily easier, but it works really well
    Sign up for Photobucket (just takes a minute) Upload all the images into there in one swoop
    then just copy+ paste the IMG files into an entry. (only 4 are allowed per post though)

    The Photobucket method makes it easier to share images with friends too, you can also just post a link to the album and all your pics are in one place
    Carpe Diem

    The problem with using a web-host for your pictures is that when you decide to close your account or remove your pictures from the web-host, they disappear from your thread. Nothing more frustrating than seeing a box with a red X where a picture should be. Uploading your pictures into the this forum's database makes them forever.

    The biggest problem with uploading pictures is that they are often too large, especially now that large mega-pixel cameras are more prevalent. There are many software options for re-sizing them. IrfanView is a free software package that has a pretty simple re-sizing process. Your pictures meet the forum's size limits without losing a lot of clarity.
