The rest of our Trip Report - Catcha Falling Star & Blue Cave Castle

[Kevin, PA]

Yep! You nailed it.....this is the most perfect explanation of the phenomena we all love, we all strive for, we all save our money to get back to!
And in 1 month....we get to have it again! Lucky us!

Oh and the special table is great! That was where we had our anniversary dinner!


P.S. It makes me so happy to see that you both loved Catcha.....but I knew you would! How can you not? It is a magical special place that I thought existed only in my dreams

I agree..nailed it! We're looking forward to experiencing a few nights at Catcha on our next reach!

There is a change that occurs after 6 days in Negril. It's difficult to describe in words. Your other life begins to fade away and find yourself falling into this relaxed groove. Anxieties dissolve and concerns about work feel really far away. Your skin becomes tan and smells like ocean air. You wear less make up (your foundation no longer matches your skin tone anyway...) and you care less about silly body image insecurities. You wear a lot less clothes, basically your bathing suits become permanent uniforms.The toxins from all the fast food consumed in America are out of your system and you just feel more healthy from all the fresh fruits. You walk a little slower, you feel a slight tingle in your cheeks from smiling so much and you say “yeah man”... A LOT. It's involuntary. It just comes out as a response to most things followed by a nod.

You're in Island mode. It's the best feeling in the world...

I love reading your stuff ,but have never really commented on anything before as I leave that for others, however, I couldn't let this pass. You do have a way with describing feelings, that is a gift. You've captured something in words that I (we) have only ever felt with each other. Can't wait to meet you (both) in a few weeks and share that vibe.

Once we were dressed, we walked back through the lush walkways towards Ivans Restaurant. The sky was a deep purple and blue hue, with stars twinkling. The sparkling lights were draped around the pool area and the bar. It was really beautiful.

“We have a special table for you guys” the waitress said with a smile and led us to the little table by the pool overlooking the water. It was intimate and separate from everyone else. We loved it.



I looked at the menu, but I already knew what I wanted.



“Lobster thermidore please” - oh how much I enjoyed saying that!

Markus ordered The Jerk chicken platter.

We were both so happy and relaxed together that night at that special table.



Words can't adequately describe how much I enjoyed the Lobster Thermidore or how delicious it was. This picture doesn't do it any justice...



Each piece of lobster slid out of the shell in perfect bitesized portions with the most creamy sauce, and spring onions..with rich mashed potatoes underneath. I ate each piece very slowly, savoring each bite.. rolling it around on my tongue.. sooooo good. I was in absolute heaven.

Nice report Daisy and Markus. Now next month will have to write another one :-) you and some other people that will be there. Ok Jamar where is yours? Guess you did not leave the country then.

[Clarity]

Thanks Angel!!
No Jamar didn't leave the country.
He quit his job and started packing...
but then received an surprisingly amazing job offer in San Francisco that he couldn't refuse.
Instead of dragging himself to a job he hates every day, he now has a job he loves.
It fell into his lap and it would have never happened if the trip to Jamaica hadn't pushed him to change his life.
He still wants to go to Thailand though.
I'm going to be honest, I'm glad he's still around...He means a lot to me and Markus.
But I don't think he will be around much longer. His lust for travel and new experiences is too strong.
He'll be updating with a new entry on thursday or Friday.

Catcha is by far the best place I have ever stayed at. I was looking around to see James Bond walk up in a white tuxedo coat and order a dry martini....We stayed at the little Pisces for like $115 per night.Nice deck and outdoor shower......I was in the shower and a small crab was on the floor,I yelp lke a girl doing the pee pee dance in the shower,I finally catch the varmit but drop him and now he is in the batchroom under the cabinet......The rest of the trip we had to lift our feet off the floor when we sat on the bowl. Sexy stuff here.....

[TizzyATX]

Oh Clarity...you SUCK! Not really, you're awesome but shame on your for leaving us hanging like that. LOL Can't wait to hear what happens next...
