The trip was AWESOME! I dont know how each trip can get better and better. The adventures are never ending. It will take a lifetime to do all that I want to do on this island and around the rest of the world. I have been back since 4/3/12 and could not write a trip report because it was just too personal, as far as the way the island has changed me for the best in all aspects of my life, the feelings I felt the expericnes I had...just to much to verbalize. But I will share a few of the highlights...

I tried all the drinks except the Bob marley shot. All the drinks were good, but the dirty bananna took the cake. I could not believe how good and creamy, with the hint of I think coffee and chocolate, it was thick enough to be a meal, and at times it was, lol.

I did all my excursions excepts the Pelican Bar, there was just not enough time.

We went go to Mayfeild Falls. It was life changing. We saw the shy lady flowers, they are flowers that respond to your touch. When you touch them, they quickly fold into themselves and stay like that for 10 minutes, then they open back up. They go to sleep everynight at 6pm and open back up and "awake" at 6am. It was amazing, I took some video, just need to figure out how to post it.
We also got a "spa treatment" ,our guide scrubbed us down by getting pure limstone out of a rock along one of the pools of water and mixed it with water and scrubbed our arms and back with the natural exfoliant. Our skin was 20 years younger when he was done . It was amazing.
Our guide also picked some leaves for us and told us this was a natural soap called irie soap. He showed us how to fold the leaves in half and put it under the running water and scrub, it turns into soap! It had a real rich lather like a real soap. He said he uses it to wash his whole body except the hair. It had a very clean natural smell , almost no smell at all, but it did clean and lather. Just amazing.
He also pulled some fresh curry root out of the ground for us to hold, to have and to smell. I held onto it for 5 days then I lost it, I wanted to take it home.
After the falls we went to sit in our little hut to look a the photos, they had them on a CD for us to view on the laptop. The photos came out great so we got the entire CD and made a nice album. While sitting in hut there was a heavy downpour. Being in the mountains after such a great experience in the falls and have it end with the perfect rain the the cherry on to for us. We had to walk all the way back up the trail in this heavy rain, we had umbrellas but it was still fun.

On another day we went horse back riding. This was my first time riding a horse. I took a picture with one when I was 6 but never rode one. My horse was named Coffee and D&L's was named Sweetness. The trainers horse was named Phantom. The trainers name was Rudy. I was taken back when he told me his name. My first love was named Rudy. We were high school sweethearts and he passed in a car crash, I had never met another Rudy until then. It brought good memories of my sweet Rudy, he loved me so much. The horse ride was a 2 mile ride to a private beach. The horses went into the water, we took great photos. I stood on the back of my horse and then jumped into the water. I ended up falling in love with Coffee. He was a beautiful horse, well trained, and I think we connected. The guide said the horses respond to singing. So everytime Rudy would sing, the horses went faster and faster. It was so fun, I was really riding that thing.Rudy told me to sing a song on the way back. I started to sing "No woman no cry" and Coffee starting galloping! The joy on my face was like that of a child.

We went to scrub a dub for the first time. I enjoyed myslef.
Went to Alfreds enjoyed the band then to the beach park party but they had already wrapped it up.
Jet Skiied, went to Booby Cay, purchased goods from Mama Porter(we always buy souvinirs from her) she is the a very sweet lady.
It was another wonderful trip, we will be back 8/1-8/8 for ATI and 50th Independance Day celebration, I can't wait.
