LOL!!!
I know, right?

When we checked in and they put us in that room I was a little disappointed because I thought we were going to be "left out of the party"
The feeling didn't last long! Hahahahaha

Now, New Years is different.....we will be above you guys! Well...that's the plan anyways HA!

Nice work and keep it down in December. Nice to know we have 3 of the 4 rooms.........

[marley9808]

LOL......keep it down?!?!?! Who us? Hahahahaha

Special projects and all.......
LMAO

Ah oh. Looks like I've infringed on a "true boardie" gathering. I have the 4th new room at Seastar on New Year's. Sorry guys...but you gotta blame yourselves. Once I started reading all the wonderful things I on this board about Negril and, specifically, Seastar, I changed my original plan of 9 days in Negril to 13 days in Negril-- to include New Year's at Seastar! I shall not interfere with your mini-boardie bash. This is my first trip to Negril so I'm not the "real thing" like y'all! But I do hope to fall in love with Negril, like most of the others on this board.

I just realized you can tell I'm not the "real thing" because I don't have a turtle on my ticker! Someday, maybe...

I'm sure mavmaiden, that once you've spent time with Turtle Team Tango, you'll be looking to arrange your next visit a.s.a.p. Have great time, Shauna and the crew will steer you right.

[marley9808]

Hey Mavmaiden!
No such thing as "not the real thing" You are going to Negril.....so that pretty much makes YOU a turtle, because I know you will love it and you will long to come back even before you have left!
Welcome aboard!!!
We actually won't be at Seastar until JUST after New Years, I think we check in on the 2nd or 3rd, but can't wait to meet you then! It is going to be a blast!!

[mavmaiden]

Thanks spottycatz & marley! I'm unbelievably excited about the trip-- and, of course, addicted to the board! I can't wait until we're close enough for me to say "soon come!"

loving the continued family meeting and exploration! I know you had me in tears and also sort of gasping in your previous report with how your brother's dream, you meeting a cousin at Grand Pineapple (when does that ever happen!), and your experiences in Jamaica just made this kaleidoscopic configuration. Plus just the synchronicity and love behind the whole thing shredded me. I guess it must be what I secretly wish for my family, but you got it, and rocked it. (ok getting cheesy here but I mean it). Daisy, your story is so incredible. i hope you make an entire compilation. I will volunteer edit it if you want to publish.

Aww, thanks Irieworld. I was moved by what you just wrote. Thank you for reading and caring. I don't think our ramblings are coherent enough to ever be publishable, but I really do appreciate the compliment! Hearing that people enjoy what we're writing really motivates us to keep sharing our experiences. I plan on printing it all out when we're finished and putting it in a folder for our future children to read when they are adults. Hopefully it will push them to travel to Jamaica and have their own adventures.

Mavmaiden – That's so awesome that you're first trip to Negril will be this December.. You're going to love it! There is no such thing as a “true boardie” or “the real thing”. The minute you arrive at Seastar, you'll see what I mean. I kind of had similar feelings my first time. I felt like everyone else had such a history together and that I wouldn't be accepted. I realized right away, that this is not the case. Everyone is so warm, open and inviting. Trust me. You'll feel at home in no time!

Our dream is to make it back to Negril in December. It really depends on a lot of circumstances. It doesn't look like it's in the stars for us right now. But you never know

If we DO find a way to celebrate New years in Jamaica, I really hope to meet you!!
