Uh...Umm..yeah, the the pilot was out, LOL. I needed a lighter to make all those pains and aches go away. seriously!I needed the medicinal qualities of mother nature. I can light up all day...its those drinks that put me over. This day in particular it was just RUM RUM RUM! When Im at home I NEVER drink rum. Not that I dont like it, I just dont drink it at home I really dont even know the reason...maybe I'll have a glass this weekend to change that up . But yeah too much Rum mixed with the heat and my underlying need to "tear the roof off this mutha" had me in for the night. lol. Slow and easy is my "ting" and I'm gonna keep it that way.

Best ride ever!
So on the actual Jamaica 50th anneversary, we went to the Jungle. To our surprise the inside was closed but they set up a huge area in back for a concert. There was a huge stage and a big #50 lit up for the celebration. So as usual we were there several hours and in between those hours people where whining, daggering and waiting for the main event. At one point the DJ was getting the crowd hyped up and he pulled a girl from the crowd on stage and was not just daggering, but doing the acrobatic type of daggering, it was awesome. Wish I was that limber and light to where I can just be thrown around like a raggedy anne doll and still land on my feet and shake it like a salt shaker! Anyways DNL was getting tired of waiting for the performance and plus the speakers were to big and loud and she lost her earplugs and was ready to go. I was too when it was 2 oclock and no headliner yet. So we go to the front of the Jungle and its' CRAZY, thousands of people on beach road, millions of orders of jerk chickens being sold, motorcycles all over, people walking everywhere. It was awesome. So I grabbed a order of chicken. I did not realize that I was standing in a crowd of motorcycles and went to turn around after I got my order I squeeled like a pig,"IEEEEEEEE!!!" I scared some of the folks nearby as the were wondering what was wrong. THOSE DAMN MUFFLERS BURNED MY CALF!!!!! OMG the sting was almost unbearable. Thank goodness I had a some aloe in the room. So now we need a ride back to the room, they had a free shuttle going up and down the road all night but it was taking to long and my leg was stinging like crazy. We had to make a move.I scan the premises on who I wanted to ask, had to be someone I could take down on my own if needed although I did have my stun gun tucked in my cleavage. I ask one of the dudes," Hey can you take me and her down the road to our room?". He said " Yeah mon, but it would be safer to take one at a time, not really enough room for 3 on this bike." You can imagine DNL's face...ok time for a huddle.DNL "I dont think we should be seperated". Me "Oh come on its just down the road, the worst thing that can happen is we have to jump off the bikes and walk the rest of the way, I got the stun gun, plus he looks like he's 18 and the size of my pinky." She was still hesitant. At this point DNL is terrified, it's written all over her face. She has not been on the back of a bike since the 70's and she does not want to be seperated. She could not make up her mind and was going back and forth.Finally we decide to go . I say to dude "OK lets go, have your friend follow you with DNL on the back and take us to our room" The price was right and I hopped on , DNL still looking in shock. "Come on and get on so we can go", I said trying not to think about my burn. She hopped on like she had no choice and ZOOM we were off into the pitch black nights of Negril. As soon as we took off I knew this would be the best part of the night. I tucked my chicken in between me and the young lad and held on for dear life. Once I was comfortable on the bike I took it all it. The night sky was AMAZING that night. It seemed like every star in the galaxy was out just to shine on me. The moon was big and bright. I could hear the tree frogs and other sounds of the island. It was the best ride ever! When we arrived DNL was not behind us. I paid the man and asked "where is my friend, I wanted her to stay right behind me?" He said "no worries she will be right here". I said "Ok cuz I dont want him to try to kidnap her". The look on his face was soo cute, it had the look like that was the furhtest thing from his mind and assured me its the furthest thing from his friends mind. I waited about 1 min and then DNL rolls up with ALL her teeth showing. She must have enjoyed the trip as much as I did. We walked back to our rooms and hi fived that that was the best ride EVER!!

I am sooo loving this report!!

[Big_frank]

I'm enjoying the report too. Your observations about the Dunn's River experience in Ochi reminded me of our first time there.
That craft market there has to have the most aggresive vendors on the Island. It started to put a damper on the whole excursion. (we were staying in Trelawny)
On the plus side; Linda bought me a spectacular Tanzanite and diamond ring of beautiful Indian gold at a jewellry store in Ochi after we went to Dunn's River Falls.
Indian gold is so beautiful.
That must have been in 1999 right around Valentine's day.
Great reporting by the way.

Haaaaa! Right on! There are many good and interesting things in this report.... We really dig 'em, but every now and then I just have to laugh out loud!...One was when after drinking way to much rum, you realized your limit's and said, "Pass The Lighter"... The second was after you vividly described the madhouse outside the Jungle and revealed that you had a "STUN GUN" in your cleavage... Laugh, giggle, smirk, smile, sigh...laugh! Haaaa! Thanks so much for sharing!
