Re: Marley and Ninja: Having Their Cake And Drinking It Too! Trip Report - April 2012
Booger- A lot has already been said about Booger in other posts and all of it is true! LOL He did not look like I had pictured him in my head but everything else about him was just as expected. The guy is funny I mean seriously a comedian. He has the perfect sarcastic humor that I love. He says what everyone is thinking and gets away with it, because it is funny. He has a fun-loving spirit that makes you think the guy is never serious about anything, which might just be true. But on the other hand, the part of him that you might not immediately expect is that he is a real sweetheart, I mean a softy for real(Now he will NEVER admit to that, of course) but this is a man who cares A LOT about his wife, his child, and his friends and he does A LOT to see that they are always happy and having fun. You truly are a great guy, booger, and I am glad we got to know you! In fact the only complaint I have about the man is that he makes it IMPOSSIBLE for others to treat him on ANYTHING! Damn you, booger! We tried....and failed, every time!
Sandie (aka Pooper) - I fell in love with pooper instantly, in fact, I think it might just be impossible for anyone not to. She has a heart that is a mile wide and she will do anything to help you whether she knows you or not. You can instantly determine, much like Patty, that she is in a care-giving profession because she takes care of everyone she meets and you always know she is going to make it all better. I can only imagine what a great mother she is, because throughout the week I honestly saw her take care of just about everyone in that way that your mom does when you are a little kid, myself included which you will hear about shortly. Not only is she the best care-giver but she is also the social butterfly. Sandie never met a stranger in her whole life, humans and animals included. One of my favorite things about her is that no matter where we would go, at some point I would look over and she would be hugging someone, or talking to someone that I didn't recognize, sometimes they were staff members, some times other guests or tourists at places we had stopped. I would walk over and ask if she knew them, because she would look so close to the person and just about everytime the answer would be "Yes, I just met them, this is so and so and they are from......" My second favorite thing would be what I will call the "Sandie Look" She gives you this look with her big eyes and you just melt. (Booger, I can only imagine this must be your kryptonite-Ninja will be so excited I used a comic book reference there) I saw that look so many times this week and I just loved it every single time. She would give the look when something upset her, or if she wanted something, or if she didn't approve of something (like eating goat...that one was for you Sweetie Pie) but whatever the reason she was given the look, the results (at least for me) was that it just made me love her even more, every single time I saw it! Sandie, girlfriend, you are amazing, I heart you, I miss you, and I am so glad we met! Smooches!
Jon (aka "Rumspringa" LOL) - When I first met Jon, Sandie introduced him as her brother, which I believed hahahaha. Later I found out that he was actually Booger's childhood friend and that they had been in each others lives for many many years. That already made me believe that he must be a pretty decent guy. At first, much like with Booger, you might judge the book by it's cover and think ok here is some surfer frat boy dude from California, he is probably pretty shallow and just about partying. But actually, Jon put that stereotype to rest almost instantly. He was nothing like that. A father who loves his kids, a very sincere guy, who really needed a fun week of vacation and he was finally going to have it. After hearing some of his back story I, along with just about everyone else, was on board with Booger and Sandie in making sure he had a great vacation, an awesome birthday and just an overall rocking good time.....I think one person in this group went above and beyond to make sure that plan happened for him! And it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! lol
Sweetness - It's been said before and I am going to say it again, she truly lives up to her name. Sweetness is, in fact, one of the sweetest women you will ever meet! Her smile can light up a room and you almost immediately know that once you are her friend, she will do anything for you. I think just about all of us got that treatment at some point in the week and I am beyond blessed to now be able to say I am on that friend list! Even more so, for some reason, I almost felt as instantly as I gave her that first hug, that she was more like a sister than a friend. I instantly trusted her and just felt so unbelievably comforted whenever in her presence, I can't really describe it, I guess you just have to experience it. She had told me that she wasn't an overly social person but I never saw that part of her. She was there with all of us and she was having a blast just like everyone else. I never saw her not smiling (well except maybe in that one picture that Spottycatz just posted lol). And she was in Jamaica with all of us at a time she would have been with her sweetie, but instead he was called to work just before she got there. For some that might have been really depressing and sad, but instead she was in the moment with all of us and having fun, and I am sooooooooooo glad she was there! Love you lots, sister Sweetness, thanks for putting aside your "antisocial" tendancies as you put it and being a part of our fun all week!
