the boardies have been pretty creative with their titles for their Trip Reports on here lately.......
so hopefully mine passes the mustard........maybe you'll like the photos
maybe this will hold some of you over till you reach........lol
this was mi 30th Anniversary to Jamaica to the month..........
the trip was from Jan 21st to Jan 30th 2012
mi still crazy for Jamaica after all these years....
of course mi have tried other destinations like Mexico, Latin America and a lot of the islands in the Caribbean......
but mi always come back to mi first love........Jamaica
mi first visit was back in January of 1982 in Ochio Rios with a bunch of Amway people........lol
well there is no more Amway for this guy but mi still have mi Jamaica after all these years........lol
mi was a young guy and it was the first time out of the country......
and mi didn't know much of about the tropics and mi brought two suitcases of clothes which mi didn't even wear.....lol
finally mi have learned that all mi need is a small suitcase with 30 pounds of clothes etc to be covered......lol
a buddy of mine TropicBob decided to make the journey too........
wi are both from the Tampa Bay Area......St Petersburg/Clearwater to be more exact
he flew American.........American cost more than Spirit but him had miles he used.....
and mi flew on Spirit for $240 R/T including a check bag down and back plus fees etc
well TropicBob was suppose to get in an hour earlier than mi..........
and mi with my $240 flight beat him........lol.....his flight was an hour and half late.......believe dat!
my flight was about an hour late..........so wi ended up waiting a half hour for TropicBob........
wi had chartered da infamous Kenny for our airport transfer and he was waiting der patiently........
mi couldn't believe it when Kenny told mi that TropicBob hadn't shown up yet.........
so wi waited a half hour and TropicBob emerges from customs in his Tropic Red Shirt and a big smile on his face.........
mi have a lot more respect for dem drivers that have to wait for those flights in Mobay.....ain't easy mon..
it cost us $30 each and that included cold refreshments and all our stops........
wi take off about 2PM and it feels great to smell that Jamaican air.....yah mon.......
our first stop is MegaMart of course................wi spend about $100US buying stuff.......
prices a lot less than HiLo and ValueMaster.......
please note there was no Cambio in MegaMart like someone said there was on here..........
unless wi missed it but mi don't think there is one inside of MegaMart..........
the booze has to be bought seperately in a department on the otherside of the checkouts.......
so you'll need to pay twice if you buying Rum, Rum Cream, etc......
the Beer and food stuff is sold on the Supermarket side..........
wi loaded up and off wi go...........feels so good heading back home mon..........
our second stop of course is the infamous Bigga's at Mile/Kilo Marker 23 heading to Negril...........
him must have known wi were coming........lol.......wi ordered the Jerk Pork.......and Red Stripes of course
Bigga in Green Island - Mile/Kilo Marker 23 - Look for the Blue Tarps
mi will never understand how Bigga white shirts are always clean......
Jerk Pork - $5US with Hardo Bread.....wi had the soup too.....what a great lunch......yummy
now who is this guy.....it's the infamous Kenny our driver.......kennyjamaica@gmail.com
mi sure Judy will like seeing his pic........lol
