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

[gerryg123]

I headed back to Seastar Inn, jumped in the pool, then had some lunch -- a big plate of spaghetti with meat sauce.

I needed change, and Chris helped me out. Money exchange is a service Seastar Inn provides, too, and most don't realize how nice that is 'cause it's saves you a trip to the cambio and saves you the hassle of dealing with the hustlers out out front who offer to exchange at a better rate but end up short-changing you because their quick hands are like magicians'.

I saw Francine, Chris' beautiful wife and co-owner of Seastar Inn, and we said hello. She is very hands-on and was gardening at the time. Shayne came by and said hello 'cause I hadn't seen him yet. He's my regular cabbie, and we've been through all sorts of adventures together, seeing the good, bad and ugly side of Negril in the early morning hours through the years.

We said our good-byes -- a friend was waiting outside the gates because Shayne's car is in the repair shop, he said -- and afterward, I headed to Out of Town pastry for a little cherry juice and a massive stack of papers.

Just like last reach, I found myself needing shaving cream, having forget to pack it. And just like last reach, I went to bunch of the little stores on the Cliffs looking for shaving cream but could not find it -- how do the locals remain cleanshaven? -- but I reluctantly motored down the hill and got some at Sunshine Plaza at Hi Lo market.

I also bought the following items:

-- Four dragon stouts

-- large container of cherry juice

-- several little bottles of rum cream

-- and a bungee chord (just up the road at the hardware store)

The bungee chord has turned out to be a valuable item, as I tie down stuff on the scooter as I motor along. It was less than $2 USD, one of the best deals I've ever made!
