Baby steps...A newbies trip report

[Kevin, PA]

This is so true!
KevinPA - This was an awesome trip report! I loved it!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your first experience in Negril and all the great pictures (Hangover one was my favorite hehe - Markus looked exactly the same the next morning after a JB & Ting Spree. That stuff will knock you off of your feet! Oh and the lobster picture made me so hungry! I can't believe Lobsters will be out of season when we go in April)
Thanks!

I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you for setting the trip report bar high! I always enjoyed your reports and was happy to give back!

oh man those peanuts Seriously the rum punches sound innocent enough--but they are usually topped off with overproof and can steal your wits in no time at all. And then finishing with JB n Ting--well some sort of stupor or psychosis may follow--I have experienced both. Good thing you were in good hands--and feel no shame--as someone else in this thread said--there are many in your company. Thanks for the continued report--I am bummed the trip is almost at its end.

"I had been drinking beer so I decided to switch to liquor on this day. It was a decision maybe I should have thought twice about. "

Kevin,

Super report. Love seeing and hearing about your experiences...they mirror lots of my own memories of my first trip.

Great report, props for your honesty...and trust me...you are NOT ALONE.

It's nice that you have such an understanding partner in crime!

Kevin : Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory springs to mind. Been there, defo got the T shirt, although I can't remember where I left it...............................

Thanks again everyone for the positive feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I know I'm enjoying reliving it for you.

Trust mi mon...you definitely aren't the only wasted person ANY resort has seen!! Glad you survived the "peanuts" ...damn those things are a *****!!! Enjoying your report, big time!!!

oh man those peanuts.

Now these comment make we wonder if it was the peanuts….lol.

Deja Vu.... The times at Debar are great...... Harry at Catcha told me on my last reach that his bar revenue would be cut in half after I left. Maybe close but not half.

We’re thinking about staying a few nights at Catcha next reach.

Oh not that feeling, I need to go,now!

It's nice that you have such an understanding partner in crime! LOL

We do make a great team. We always have each others back. I’m sure one of these visits I’ll be the one saying “Let’s go!” although Beth can typically drink me under the table and still function the next day.

Lol! Great "hangover" photo!

I almost didn’t post that but it’s so classic I had to share.

Kevin : Willie Wonka and the chocolate factory springs to mind.

Oh there are so many references to that movie I could have made. Like singing “I got a Golden ticket” when we finally pushed the button.

Been there myself, my friend .... Can relate to a day of recovery, too!

I’m certain it won’t be my last but now I know that I need to pace myself a little slower when drinking rum there. Maybe I’ll be able to salvage part of the day at least.

I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get any more posted today as I’m back to work and have plans tonight but we’ll see if I can squeeze the last 2 days in. If not today then tomorrow for sure.

Please be XXXtra carefull of the white overproof rum.(Whites)
If you are pouring it for yourself measure a capfull or half a regular shot.
Real rummies drink it with just a splash of water.
My rum drinking friends stick with Appleton as they find that they can manage it better.
I don't like the smell or taste of rum.
Maybe snuck into a fresh juice not to sweet rum punch BUT then I can only manage 1.
A nice souvenir is one of the little rum jiggers/measures to sit on top of your rum bottle cap.
You will see them at all the bars. Probably found in a Chinesse/Jamaican shop.
Drink lots of water especially fresh coconut water. That should help the dreaded hangover.

That's the exact method I was eventually shown rather than employing my "rock star" approach.
