Well, as much as I know life is worth living....
It must not help that we have five children..... We work our butts off daily! We also don't have the family to watch our 3 girls for us to do anything (boys are in college & don't need watching). We feel like we completely scored to have a family member keep them this time.
I certainly understand that not staying at upscale places helps, but considering this is our first ever trip alone & to JA, we wanted to do it right! Because we don't know when we'll be able to do it again.
Our day will come, I know that....Meanwhile, I'll just enjoy the hell outta my trip & read everyone's trip reports as if they are mine!

You never see it coming ... and the next thing you know ... UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
Oh, I wasn't implying anything but how I do it. (: Kids come first. I am a single Dad of two teens. I feel your pain.
Honestly though, without some ME time in Negril over the past year or so...including making some lifelong friends, partying all night, and just LETTING GO...clearing my head...I wouldn't be as good of a Dad.Call it the carrot and stick, or simply call me Dude. But Ja is such a part of my life...my DAILY routine...that I push through the hard times knowing I will indeed be getting on that plane again!
I wish you luck and congrats on such a nice big family! It's admirable!![]()
I don't know about admirable, a couple of them were "Uh, oh's!" and yes I know what causes it!
I was not offended, I seriously wanted to know how everyone does it. I see all of the pics, and I realize that the people down there are regular people like me, and that makes me so happy! I have a feeling that once I go and know, I won't NOT be able to go back! I'm already trying to figure out how we can go in December
Respect Brasi... p.s. Just turned 42 Friday, and so far it's been great! 1970s babies rock!!!

GarySteph...when my sons where in school I only did one big trip per year, but they are grown with their own families now so I am able to travel more now.
I also have been working for so long that I have hundreds of use or loose hours that I refuse to LOOSE!!! LOL!

Nov 28 - Dec 8 th.....
I will be heading to Negril Dec. 21-29. It's a birthday present to myself to celebrate the Big 5-0. I'm sorta running away from home and hoping that if I'm sitting on a beach with a cold drink in my hand, I won't even CARE that I'm so old! It's my first trip to Negril. I'm splitting my time between an AI and a boutique (aka small) hotel in the middle of 7-mile beach. To say I can't wait is a vast understatement...![]()
