Here's some Seastar Inn pics (top to bottom):

1, No Francine, I did not really do it LOL

2, Consumed many blended-fruit drinks

3, Once Lobstar season started, I went pretty crazy -- I would call ahead as I was coming up the hill so the plate would be ready when I arrived, LOL. Only $22 for a nice portion plus soup n fresh bread!

4, Nice rum punch featuring several different rums including overproof. A couple of these, and you're over the legal driving limit in Cali, ha ha ....

5, Room 6 feels like home ....

Also at Rick's, a 10-year-old who was selling candy recognized me from Seastar Lane, so I bought a candy bar from him for 100j. And some fool across the way claimed I had to tip him to park at Rick's -- a first in approximately 50 visits through the years.

I hung out at Xtabi for a while.

Later, my appetite returned (big surprise), and I made my way down to Bella Donna for dinner -- I had paid in advance and ordered spaghetti with meat sauce and a vegetable side. I ended up with Spaghetti marinara and bread instead of veggies, but it was still good.

I went to bed early. At least, that's the story I am going with.

Wow! Negril was awesome and Jerry you rock! You are a truly interesting man and if i'd been solo, we'd have had some adventures for sure! As it was, just chatting, sipping, vibeing and hanging a bit was very cool for me and my wife! Our 22nd Anniversary trip was romantic and all it should have been and Rooms is our spot! Wish we'd stayed at Rooms on the Beach! We did 5 days there and then moved to the RIU Palace for the last 2.. It was very nice, but "Rooms" is so peaceful and laid back, right near so many cool things. Negril will always feel like home, but the time we spent in Mo'Bay at the home of one of our Dallas, Texas church members was priceless! Blessings Gerry, we'll adventure one day, Mi bruddah!

[gerryg123]

Yes, good hangin' with you, too, Kevan. I stopped by a couple of other times -- security is tight at Rooms! The first time, you were not there, the second time was after 5 p.m. when the restaurant had closed, and that time the place is like a Fortress and I was in a rush ....

Also, here are some more pics (top to bottom):

1, Step Aside in action

2, Jerk chicken by the road

3, Snorkeling friends from NYC

4, Roger out on the open sea
