As soon as i reach there are certain things i must do. here is the list - visit with uncle dave even if it for two minutes. get carton of cigerates (marlbro's), a few day supply of ja smoke, and i buy two beach towels for my self (one for shower, one for beach).this time i nedded - new sim card for phone, and to purchase tickets to a concert later that night. Our first stop on our aron run was at cambio so i could get some funny money. Sometimes we use the guys outside cambio, but only if rate is near the rate inside cambio. i watched my mom our first trip almost get scammed, so i double check it like three times. Jose knows the guy, we get the same rate as inside, so i give the the change part extra. they dont just scam to make money, if you give them a tip, even a dollar it adds up.

so with money in our hands we head to scub a dub to buy tickets for a show that night. Now at this point its like 3 or four in the afternoon. I know shannon only ate breakfast in the airport and aint complaining she hungry because she is full of excitment. So I tell jose to stop at the acui tree reasturant on the road to srub a dub. when you take the right from negril on the road srub is on, its down about a hundred feet on the right. Jose and i stop there alot because they have good fish that he likes, and i like there fried chicken. So we stopped and ordered 3 meals, fish for jose, fried chix for me and shannon got fish as well and was taught by a profesional how to eat it. she wasnt a big fan of bones, but she ate it. I went to the store next to the reastuarnt, and purchased i think like 10 box drinks. I love ja box drinks, all flavors exept ginger and sorral. i think i got 12, 6 frozen and 6 non frozen. i drink two with a meal, and wanted both jose and shannon get the same amount of drinks as me. i know the frozen ones come in handy, they melt as needed, sonow with our bellys full we headed to srub a dub.

I am know dummy, i wanted jose, shannon and i to go to a concert later that night and wanted to save money buying my tickets in advanced. So we went to scrub a dub, and there was all kinds of prep going on getting ready for the show. Jose is known by it seems like everyone, we pulled up to the gate, he beeped, i jumped out of the car. jose pointed at a guy, i walked up to him and asked hime for three tickets. He said "its not my show, but hold on". The guy went through the gate and was gone about two minutes. Thats quick for jamaica, he comes back with three tickests and takes my money. I get in the car and jose tells me that was the owner of scub a dub. The show was some sort of ladies night show, It had Sheba, Lisa Hyper, Pamputee, just to name a few. it was when that song "fluffy vs slim" came out. all ladies on the bill.
so now we got tickets, next stop hi-low plaza. In case your wondering this aron trip i am in jose car not on scooter. We stop at plaza so i can get two towels and a carton of cigeretts. My friends i been buying stuff from for years, say "your Back", and send a girl to the back for a carton of my smokes. I felt big when he then said i got two towels you dont saved for you. Wow, a new island map, and a new sunset type. with smoke and towels another aron down. During the time i got tickets, then at plaza shopping, shannon was sitting in hot car. She was fine with it because she was enjoying talking to jose. this was there first time meeting so they both had all kinds of questions. each time i got back in the car i did an eye roll on the topic of there conversation. so next stop uncle dave's for a visit.
