Even worse...that was after up at 4am to catch my flight...drinks at Canoe...LOTS more to drink at Jungle... passed the " I've been awake for 24 hours" mark at Jungle at 4am...slept about 4 hours and ended up at Tic's party at Traveler's. But I had super duper lotsa fun!Originally Posted by beachgirl66

New Years Eve was the day I had been looking forward to.... I was going to see Tarrus Riley.... Now some of you know how much I love Tarrus Riley and he has been just out of reach for me with his performances many many times.... its a sad sad tale actually....
.... on one occasion I had prepurchased tickets and traveled to Ottawa ON to see him in a reggae festival only to have the festival close down on the second day (he was to play on the third day)
.... I planned a trip to Negril Jan 7 - 14 last year, just to discover he played on Dec 29th and Jan 15th...sigh...
.... I was booked to go to Montego Bay in April... when I arrived I asked if anyone knew if he was playing.. sure enough he was playing at Pier 1 ... I was on cloud nine... arrived at Pier 1 just to discover he had actually played the night before... (insert tears here)
But with Bnewb's keen eye she noticed in a local news paper that Tarrus was playing at Grand Palladium in Lucea for new years. After inquiring at the front desk and getting confirmation from GP that he was indeed going to be there... it seemed my dreams were going to finally come true. $80 US got us our evening access to the GP and it was worth every penny. It was magical.... the evening started with an amazing dinner with everything from lobster, mussels, steak, every cheese, veg, dessert you could imagine.. and the best coffee we had ever tasted. Although I wouldn't want to stay at the Grand Palladium for a vacation for one night only it was incredible! After dinner we headed to the bar and drank a number of tasty treats....
Jamaica Bound!
