I want to reflect on my first two days, I dont think i did a good job painting the proper picture.

Shannon my girlfriend got a day to day trip report if full detail over the phone for a month in december before this may 2010 trip. In between that time as well she heard all kinds of stories from over the years. I know she was looking foward to meeting the people i talked so much about. Also in my stories i mentioned things i did and places i go. She was looking foward to going to 23/7, but tragiclly a few weeks before we got down there, there was a major problem there, they closed and have not opened since.
I spent alot of time in december at 23/7, and my default beach spot was the free beach. So on our first morning, it was tough driving by 23/7 with a blocked gate. But i was totally confertable chilling at free beach. Shannon got a quick beach visit that morning, but i dont think she was satisfied with that short beach visit.

On our first day, when we stopped on the beach road to get my scooter, i was alittle nervous shannon would get mad that i was leaving her alone with a guy she didnt know that well. I was wrong, i had talked enough about jose that she felt totally comfertable. He acted like he knew her, her whole life. Treated her just like he does my mom, he is very caring mello person. Josey is very easy going so shannon and my mom feel safe and chatty with him. He loves the attention, he probly dropped me off on purpose so he could get some alone time, LOL.
When shannon and i arrived at the castle, we didnt have much time to explore propurty. We checked out the room, we both loved the view from the bed. the wooded shutters were open, it was sunny and the big beautiful sea. the room was spacious and perfect for us. Like others, when we arived i asked how do we check in, after we were in our room with key. I owed some money, and wanted to take care of it soon. i could tell shannon was happy with my choice in the castle. After our arons, we got a chance to check out property alittle. We checked out the cave and the court yard and then on to swimming on the cliffs. She is affraid of open water, so she kinda splashes on the latter. I rember that first swim, she laid on the rocks just soaking up the sun. I could never do that i would get bored real quick but she seemed more then content.

Saturday was first day (travel down day), Sunday was our first full day in jamaica. At this point we had not seen anyone from blue cave castle staff execpt the guy opening the gate for us and helped us with our bags. We didnt really come in contact with any other guests. The castle felt very private and empty. We both liked that.
