OMG, I realized I forgot to pay Bantons the $300j I owed him for a couple of bottled waters earlier in the day, but there was something more important: He had tracked down Jody, and the plan was for all of us to meet later at Banton's.

I was planning to head up there anyway, plus Banton's neighbor, Keith from Philly, called to remind me he was returning to Negril the next day; Keith and I have become good friends through the past year or two, and we talk on the phone all time time in USA.

I said goodbye to Kevan and his pretty wife and the waitress (Keisha), and I fired up the motor bike.

In the meantime, I stopped by Seastar Inn for a quick swim, and there I met Suzen Grace, who is a respected poster on several different Negril boards. She was staying next door to me at Seastar Inn in Room 4 (Suzi Q's former room), and as things turned out, we're both from Los Angeles and know a lot of the same peeps -- not just in California but Negril, too. Suzen is extremely good looking, and like many of us she has a zesty love and affection for all things Jamaica.
