Markus - freeking hilarious!!!!
I'm already thinking about the next road trip as this one was EPIC. I freaking hate that word, however I cannot think of another word to best describe that day. The pic of Rahoooooool smiling takes me back as he and Marley took up the front and had a front row seat to the antics.
Hubby-man, the stop at the plantation was weird to say the least and you captured it perfect. For a second I was worried that I was on a bus with a bunch of tourist checking out random sites that were not on the radar. I remember as we pulled away that the rum cream and all else things ill came out and the rest is history.
Trip idea: Head south again with a quick pit stop at Tosh's place. Give thanks and head out to check out Bluefields for a bit and then enjoy the day in Treasure Beach. Take in the sunset and hit the road with a late night arrival. Looks like a good way to kill a day outside of Negril........

Rise early, treat everyday as though it's your last and your last day as it's your first.
I am in Booger
But I would go anywhere with you guys......it's always a fun time!

Stir IT UP
Clarity - I am playing catch up here as I was away from Negril.com for a bit. I knew I was not coming back to Jamaica for a while and it made me crazy to look not knowing when I would return. Now that I have pushed the button, I can "lurk" happily.
I am loving your trip report!!! You know it's so funny that you describe yourself as being shy with people you just met. I too have that affliction, I am a bit of an introvert with extroverted moments - but can be awkward when meeting large groups of people for the first time. I feel a little better about it now after reading your comments. I was at the Luciano concert but unable to come back for the Belly Flop - I am SO sorry I missed it.
You are so blessed to have found this large, loving extended family. I hope you are able to keep and grow those relationships and that your relationship with your father also grows stronger because of this. It is such a small world, I think I may have met someone in NY who is part of that extended clan of yours. If I see them again, I will inquire further but they said their family owns the Mandeville Hotel.
Well, I am only partway thru this report but enjoying it immensely. I wish you many more adventures together and look forward to reading about them.
Ok where is the rest of the story? Is Clarity back in Jamaica with her sisters and parents? If you are hope you have/ had a good time.
QUOTE [A Danish family extended the line at the end. The mother and three nearly white-blond daughters, arranged by size, like organ pipes, looked like poster children for the Scandinavian Tourism board. Their pale unburned skin, indicated that they had just arrived. Dad was still at the pump sighing over a war torn map that he had spread over the tinted windows of his luxury SUV Rental. All of them were dressed in the most formal of business attires. A band of medieval knights would have looked far less out of place. They looked our group up and down with obvious disgust.
“We are driving our daughter to a volunteer organization in Mandeville, where she will work for 6 months.”, the mother announced with a heavy Danish accent. They looked in horror at our rowdy group. I felt really sorry for them. We must have given them have some second thoughts about her daughters philanthropic adventures. I could only imagine the discussion in the car that must have followed. ("Don't you get involved with those types, young lady!")]
I was chuckling but this part had me laughing out loud (at night, by myself, my family has decided that I am strange). Now I KNOW that I will have to make it my business to make an effort to spend time with the turtles on their next migration. Cuz "those types" be "my types!" Full Enjoy!
Thanks Marley, Tizzy, Guirigay, Spottycatz, Beebeluv, Ralonzo, Gerryg123, booger, wpyogi, sweetsue, Angel for your kind comments
Spotty, Marley – What?? You guys really don’t remember the Danish family?!
They were in line with us for the bathroom. They were last ones in line and Markus (who, as you know, talks to EVERYONE) struck up a conversation with them. I didn’t listen to what they had to say because I was much more concerned with the state of the bathroom. Lol!
Beebeluv – your “children of the corn” comment cracked me up!
Sweetsue – I wish there was a “like” button for your last comment. You definitely need to spend some time with the turtles on your next trip. I hope to be there too when it happens!
Angel – not yet, but soon come – my suitcase is in the livingroom right now. I’m so excited, it’s hard to think about anything yet.
Sorry for the delay, we’re back in business now and lets see how fast we can get through the remaining days of our trip. We’re determined to finish this trip report.
Markus is up next…
Carpe Diem
