Utterly fantastic trip report. You really went all out on this, and the result is spellbinding. I love the emotions you conveyed, the details (a LOT of details), the great photos of course a Love Story to tie it all together (plus a little tragedy).

Best of all, you "told it like it was." That much is obvious. It's clear you love Negril and its people, and when you ran into a nut job or an ingrate -- oh yeah, they're out there at every turn -- you were willing to write about it. That puts it all in perspective. For everything great about Negril and the people of who live and work there -- and the tourists, too -- there are handful that just make you shake your head and go 'WTF.' .... I loved this report very much. You are one heck of a writer, a terrific reporter, and, frankly, surprisingly sensitive with all the poetry and lovey dovey stuff.

Well done. Well done. Well done. Cheers my friend. I raise a cold one in your honor, my good man.
