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

[gerryg123]

A few things I left out:

1, It's all good between me and Gas. No, I did not rent a scooter from him again, but I beeped and waved to him throughout the week. The first few times, Gasford waved for me to come say hello, but I never stopped -- wanted to drive him crazy a bit, lol.

2, Roadside Jerk chicken update -- I didn't eat as much chicken this time around, but it was nice to see SLICE TO THE BONE was back in his usual spot in front of Ricks. He is a bit sporadic, some reaches he is there and others he is not, but the guy cooks a mean chicken. It's almost ironic that such as organic, home-style recipe as jerk chicken is best served at the biggest tourist spot! I also was glad to see Winston still operating on seven-mile, along with a few others .... Best food ever.

3, Digicel prices -- Went in with Brasi the first day to Digicel. Shayne picked us up and Brasi wanted his own phone this time, plus I re-upped minutes. I think for the phone and minutes was close to $60 -- same as mine three reaches ago ..... I hear if you go to Sav you can get a better deal, but of course that involves going to Sav, which is kind of a long trip .... Also, towards the end of my stay, I accidentally jumped into the pool at Seastar Inn with the phone in my pocket -- and I had not consumed a single sub sandwich, oddly enough, just my usual absent-minded, Mr. Magoo self.

4, I met a few really intriguing ex pats, and all of them seemed really happy and really at peace. I can only imagine the incredible life it would be to live in Negril, but alas I had a bit too much going on in real life back in USA. But I can dream, can't I? It's a very special community, seven mile beach and the West End cliffs, and overall I've never met so many nice people, locals and expats alike, and that's the biggest reason of all of why I love Jamaica.
