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!!
Thanks, Clarity/Daisy!! I would truly love to meet you if y'all somehow manage to make it in December. This trip is my 50th birthday present to myself (day after Christmas baby) and the wait until December is going to kill me. I need to stop reading the board-- it makes me so fired up about Negril that the clock is ticking far too slowly!

I'm lovin' your trip report. You are a very eloquent and thoughtful writer (and funny, too). Your latest post about the day you met your family members is so touching. I hope it's in the stars someday for you to move to the island. If not now...maybe down the road. I can't imagine how nervous you were, but oh what a wonderful day!
