The real countdown is ON!

I leave the morning of Saturday May 28th and will get into MBJ around 11:30 am!! All I can say is WOO HOO! I won't believe it till I actually set foot on Jamaican soil--so much to do to pull this trip togehter! I will probably be up most of the night on Friday packing and getting the animals set up and will be going crazy all week to pull things together, so when I get there it will be one huge exhalation of relief.

Found my passport, moneybelt, swimsuits and flipflops and I got some cool water shoes from Lands End in case I want to go to Mayfield or YS falls. Other than that nothing is together. Can't find my camera, my shorts, my Jamaican sundresses or my mind

I hope you have a fantastic time! And I know about the mind thing..of all the things I've lost, I miss that the most, lol.

Ahhhhh, paradise soon come! Right behind you, leaving the 31st of May. Hope to see you there!!

[irieworld]

yay, yetta-soon come is coming soon! Are you staying at Seastar again? I will be on the beach but hope to get to a webcast or two and one of the Seastar Saturdays.

[yetta]

Yeah mon! At Seastar again!! We will be there for one of the Saturday webcast's. Hope you come up to the cliffs for a while. I am counting down the days. Can't wait to be back home again.

I have two Saturdays in Negril, the night I arrive and the night before I go. So If I am not too tired I might make it the 28th but I have to get up at 4 am that morning so it is iffy. If I don't make it that first night I am hoping to go on my last night. But all my best made plans tend to dissolve in Negril, so we'll see

ok now one more day to go and I am swimming in the caribbean! WOO HOO! I found my camera, and found my portable sound system that hooks up to my ipod. I have not packed, but at least I know I have the key elements that go into the suitcase. The subway service is screwed up Saturday, so my 5 AM trip to the airport via subway and bus should be interesting with my snorkel gear and laptop hanging off me, in addition to my suitcase. I so wish I could just snap my fingers and be in Negril.

Woo hoo!!! I'm so excited for you!! It's literally only a day away! I hope you have a WONDERFUL trip IW!

take lots of pictures! Can't wait to hear about it when you return!

Are you going to any of the webcasts? I'll definitely tune in so I can see you waving in front of the camera!

I will take photos for sure and promise a trip report of sorts. I was beginning to think I would not find my camera and finally spotted it behind a pile of books on a random shelf.

Awesome!!

Hey, How are the kitties? Did they work out their differences?
