luvs, is there more?

[negrilaholic]

oh I just love hearing about your experiences and looking at your pics, it is like I can vicariously live it through you until my next reach. I too will be parasailing for the first time in all my trips too, so it is a relief to know that it is more of a peaceful than a 'thrilling' experience, that sounds like just about my style. Thanks for sharing that!

I am so sorry for the delay ... I am in the mist of getting ready for Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, SC...Let's continue!!!

A few years ago I got the nerve to get on a jet ski and I told the guy to go slowww and he did and he took me down past the A/I's and each year after that him or my other jet ski friend took me out and we went past the A/I's (down towards the RIU). WELL dangit this year I wanted to go in the other direction and towards the Westend (always saw jet ski's out that way). The 2nd day I got over to the beach .... Sunbeach area... and I look for either of my jet ski guys and don't see a one, except one that never took me out, so I asked where they all went too. One I knew that he left for the states right after I left Negril last year. One just up and disappeared. And the other one *WOOOO CLAWD THAT MAN WAS SUMKINDA SEXY!!* he is said to be up in the hills someplace....*almost went looking for him* SOOO that left me with no one to take me out but the guy that has never took me out before and another guy that I never met before!!!

The guy I never met before...let's call him "NMB"and let's call the guy that never took me out before "NTMO". Let me set the mood...me and the gyals are chillin on the beach and I inquire about a ride to NTMO and he said he would take me out when he comes back, well after an hour I got antsy and got NMB to take me out, but the clouds started to roll in and I felt a few sprinkles and was hesitate to go but like a true Jamaican he said "it's not going to rain, come on". I hop on behind him and hold on tight and told him "you can take me anywhere but down that way towards the RIU, I've been that way enough", so out towards to where the sky meets the water...or so it seems from the beach. He goes a regular speed and I am like "OK, this is nice" then I tell him to speed up a bit and off we go!!! VVVRRRRROOOOOMMMM!!! jumping up and hitting the waves and I am giggling and laughing like a little kid, it was so much fun!!! AND then he asks "you want to drive" and I say "oh no no no ridind in the back is just fine" He stops the jet ski and convinces me to drive...uuuhhh how we gonna do dat mister I ask and next thing I know he stands up and tells me to side up and he gets behind me. I place my hands on the bars and he does the controls...wooooweeeee this is kinda fun!!! THEN he stops again and this time shows me HOW to drive on my own...I give it a lil gas and the jet ski jerks and I stop...was a bit scary....I give it a lil gas again and I keep going and eventually I am speeding and hitting the waves and turning... I am REALLY DRIVING a jet ski!!!

I think I was out for about an hour and when he brought me back I was soooo excited and couldn't wait to go out again!!!




I went out Jetskiing about 5 times this trip...including twice up to the Westend. On one of those rides NTMO took me all the way by the Lighthouse...that was a nice long ride. I asked him to take me out that way and he told me that I had to go early morning because the later it got the more choppy the water would be....and that was sooo true!!! To see the hotels from a jetski was so beautiful, but I had a hard time looking from the hotels to the horizon to the beautiful blue of the water. The water is really crystal clear blue out that way, like you are inside a pool. Folks were waving from their hotels, I manage to pry my arms from around his waist to wave a time or two, LOL...ok ok yes I was scared!!! The water out that way was more choppy and we hit the waves harder and caught alot of air more than a few times. He took me all inside the caves and all I could say was WOW over and over again and kicked myself for not having my camera....AAAGGGHHHH...next time!!!

So no pictures from my jet ski rides to the Westend...just memories!!!!!

Luvs!

Myrtle Beach bike week! Oh goodness! Have fun!
That is where I am from and I remember those bike weeks! LMAO

And I think I saw you on one of your jetski runs up by west end....I was waving from Sagi at Catcha Falling Star and the smile on your face surely let me know you were having fun. I am in Florida now and we have a jetski and everytime I go out on it I call it the permagrin.....you just can't help yourself from smiling constantly!

Thanks, everyone for keeping up with me and being patient. I was a bit upset about not being able to attend the Chicken Bus tour...AaAGGGHHH!!! I really wanted to go to Pelican Bar but sometimes in Jamaica you get sidetracked and loose track of days and time, LOL!.

Cooper...please do, I am praying that these airfares come down!


Thank you MaryAnn...i had the hardest time trying to find yellow sandals. Clothing and sandals are very limited in this area during the early part of the year!!!

[marley9808]

Yeah we were really sad about you missing that too, I am just surprised you even answered your phone if you had the days mixed up because we were sitting outside your hotel pretty early that morning when I called........Next Time!!!!!!!

[Luvsdaislands]

My first visit to American Pie....WELL WELL WELL!!! I must be getting old because American Pie was NOT exciting to me...it was OK, but I didn't enjoy myself too much and I left early. I really didn't party too much this visit really...CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!!??? SO, let's back up to the beginning of the day that leads into AMERICAN PIE!!!

One of the gyals hadn't been to Rick's Cafe and we were going to go so she could experience it, I have been numerous times. One of gyals said she would meet us there and off me and MsP went. Nothing exciting to really report....half naked sexy with ripped body strong men hanging from the walls and trees diving into the ocean!!!

Our other friend arrives with the lil man just in time for the sunset and then off we went to 3Dives. A few years ago I had a bad experience with them and vowed to never go back, but I am one of those type of people that will give things a 2nd chance and this time I am glad that I did!!! I ordered the curry chicken with callaloo and it was very good!!! Every table was full of people and we even got entertained with a majic show. As one of my girls said *DINNER THEATER in JAMAICA*!!



After dinner at 3Dives we head back to the hotel and then we head out to Robby and Maureen's place for some drinks...Robby makes some really good drinks!!! That is a really nice bar he has and good location...this was my second time this trip that I visited the bar.

After a while there we hit the road to American Pie!!! I really felt my grandmother status kick in when I walked through the doors...OK, it was ALOT of young folks...no listen to me YOUNG YOUNG folks in there, I already knew that my time there would be limited. I walk in and this guy comes over to me and speaks...I talked to him BRIEFLY at the beach party a few days ago...SMH...I speak and move on to the restroom and while I am waiting I look back and this fool is standing outside the door...REALLY DUDE??!! When I come out he is still there and walks up to me like he was my husband waiting for his wife to come out the restroom, he grabs my hand and puts his arm around me...I say "uuuhhh mister, please leave me alone and get away from me" he ask "why yi ack tis way" I yell "LEAVE ME ALONE!" and of course I get the kiss teeth and called all kinds of clot this and clot that....mister get a life and leave me be!!!!

I then get a drink from the bar and stand and watch folks dance and move about...wrong move!!! Everybody just conviently bumps into me, so I move and more bumping after about 20 minutes of that I go stand outside and more bumping...OH MY GOODNESS....I can't take it so me and MsP leaves and head back to the Rayon. We hop negotiate a fair price from a taxi guy (none route taxi, but he gave us the same rate as one), and we chit chat back down the road and of course he wants to chat me up seperately and offers to take me to breakfast in the morning and you all know I accepted, LOL!!
