LOL fun guy Shayne. i swear he'll never age.
Really enjoying your videos, pictures and adventures Gerry. You must know just about everyone in Negril.
This trip had a much different feel than the others because there were so many fellow boardies, so there were a lot of meet-and-greets, and some of you I got to know very well, and for the most part it was a great honor meeting everyone.
Many of you inspired me. Here are some of my impressions with more on the way soon:
Booger -- A classic Southern California type with the hey-bud-let's-party attitude, but there is a strong degree of sensitivity there, too, just below the surface. He seems like a really loyal guy, and Booger is extraordinarily friendly, too. So funny, we spent so many hours and so many days together, but I barely remember him ever talking about himself. He was much better at bringing out the thoughts and emotions from others, and that is a HUGE gift to have.
Tizzy -- Hottest thing on two wheels, but there's a lot to this Texas party girl, more than meets the eye. She's a great conversationalist with a natural feel for making others feel warm and invited. She is definitely go-with-the-flow and just super fun to be around. And and how Tizzy LOVES to laugh -- so much so that's it's infectious. So thoughtful, too, I bet Tiz is a GREAT mom!
Michael Guirigay -- Super cool guy. This one would definitely make it big in show biz. He would be a past-the-velvet-rope kind of guy, for sure. A great story teller. A natural gift for saying just the right thing at the just the right time .... And when things got tough, he responded beautifully .... I learned a lot just watching the way this guy moves. Really a stand-up guy. Kind of guy who would make a great best friend.
Suzie Q -- An incredible lady that is refined enough to handle Negril with aplomb as a single female tourist -- no easy feat. We spent a lot of time together, and Suzie Q proved a great inspiration to me because she's a great comeback story. Like so many of us, she has had some tough breaks that were not her fault one bit, and my oh my how she has bounced back. Suzie Q could meet 100 peeps in a row, and everyone of them would be impressed with her spirit and personality.
Sweetness -- The name does fit. There was something about her posts and pics that had my really eager to meet Sweetness in person, and once I got to know her, I found someone with a pure love for Negril and everything that's good about Jamaica. She helped make the long ride back to Sangster fun for everyone in the van.
There are more of you who inspired me so much this reach ..... I want to get to all of you. To be continued.

Wow, thank you for the kind words. I have your description coming up in my trip report Gerry, and I cannot freakin wait.....
Thanks, Gerry, that is very nice. I'm truly honored by your words as I have to say your descriptions of every one else match my thoughts and my heart.You consistently offer surprises, Mighty Californian, much respect. You KNOW I'm just scratching the surface so far regarding you... There's a day coming up here...
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
Aww shucks GerryG!!!That means alot to me!!! I was really hoping I would be allowed the pleasure of meeting the infamous "mighty Californian", and to no surprise you were a BLAST to be around, and visiting with you the first time at seastar inn was like talking to an old friend somehow. Was also really honored to meet Jody, who by the way is stunning, and so sweet. Lucky guy. I know you're a man on the move, but next time I hope we will get more time to chill and party together. No doubt there will be a next time!
You really nailed it on all accounts Gerry...such a great group of folks that just meshed in a such a way....just the coolest thing, and I'm glad we were all a part of it.
Enjoying your trip report like always.....GerryG...123...Yaaaamon![]()
