Half Moon Beach was just as I remembered it -- like a beautiful scene from a masterpiece oil painting. The colors, the textures. The place is among the most picturesque you'll ever see.

We set our stuff down and ordered lunch. Chicken for me and crab for Suzie Q with plans to share a bit .... Both dishes were really good.

There were two other couples, one from Italy and the other from .... drumbeat please ... Los Angeles!

The chef, Delmar, came out and introduced himself. It took all my constraint not to stand up and applaud for the great man.

We took a little tour, checked out the little cottages. Nice place but no AC, and you know me: I am too pampered not to have AC!

I hit the water and splashed around a bit, floating on my raft. I love love love floating on the Negril ocean in my raft. That alone is worth the $732 plane ticket.

Ya mon.
