TRAIL OF ASHES TOUR: The adventure continues as Gerry G returns to Negril

[gerryg123]

Though there was a big part of all us that was sad to leave, the ride home was a laugh a minute. Besides recounting the week, we talked about our real lives and all the things waiting for us upon our return -- the good, the bad, the ugly.

It was a beautiful day, perfect weather. We made our way through Green Island, Lucea, all the way to Sangster airport.

This trip was quite an adventure because there was so much energy in the air with so many boardies meeting, all in one place, all at one time. It was special to connect faces to the names (or pen names) and to share our love for Negril with others with whom we have so much in common.

Never did a Negril trip feel like this. It was like I felt more WHOLE than ever before upon my return to the airport -- a sense of satisfaction and fullfillment that never existed before. Boy, we had some fun.

Then I got to the airport, and a new misadventure happened ....

The lighting is not so great, but here is a little snippet video with Banton:

I had mentioned in an earlier post that my flight was delayed five hours, forcing me to change flights at the last moment (thank god I had cell and called the USA 800 number instead of waiting forever on line), but I did not divulge all the details about what was at stake.

I am in law school, and I had maximized my absences to make the trip -- THEIR spring break did not coincide with MY spring break, lol -- so had I missed that coming Monday at school, I would have FLUNKED the semester with no recourse, and that would have messed up my student loan and everything else. I HAD to make it back to Los Angeles that night.

Good news, by finding another flight and being delayed just two hours, I would not only make it back, as things turned out, but I got a chance to check out MOBAY VIP club -- wow that place is nice. I even took a shower there, and I LOVE showers.

And while I was glad to be heading back, there was also a big part of me that had a tough time saying goodbye to Negril. Jamaica is such a magical place. It's on my mind constantly.

Cutting to real time, it's been three weeks since I've returned. I still dream of Jamaica every night. Am I the only one who often dreams of Jamaica while in North America????

Hi Gerry! I can so relate to those feelings. It's hard to shake the memories of a wonderful trip even after being home for several weeks. And, you certainly had a ton of amazing adventures in Negril to replay in your head! Just focus on your next trip to get you through!
By any chance, do you happen to go to UCLA law school? One of my best friends is in his 3rd year there. :-)

Nah, my law school is based in the Cayman Islands where USA officials can't track them down, lol (jk)
