Ok, so now that the drama was over it was time to return to the party, and that we did. This time we headed down to the beach where a lot of folks had now gathered. There was a full blown beach party happening. Tizzy and Jon, Booger and Sandie, Sweetie Pie and Guirigay, Brasi, Muzikdoc, Patty and Andy had walked down by now and they were there, and someone else was with them! The infamous Bella Bea!!!!!!! I smiled immediately when I saw her, how can you not? She smiled and came over and gave me a hug, oh my goodness I just love her. I had never met her before but felt (like I have said this already about so many others) like I knew her. She was just as bubbly and fun and pretty as she is in all of the stories and photos….but what I had never imagined or even considered before was her voice! She spoke to me and had that amazing accent; I can still hear her talking if I try hard enough…and it just adds to her personality. She just kept saying “I am from Puerto Rico……I’m Puerto Rican” and I just laughed and laughed. This was the best beach party I have ever been to….and I have lived at the beach pretty much my whole life! We laughed and danced and drank and partied and everyone had so much fun. Soon I looked over to another familiar face, my friend Chicken! He was there to pick us up and take us to the comedy show, it was time to go…and we were having so much fun we probably could have stayed there with the rest of the group partying but we also were all really excited to see the comedy show……such a tough life when you have too many fun things to choose from, right?

So we herded the turtles and slowly made our way out to the bus to head back up to the cliffs. I think the show was to start at 7:30 and it was being held at Moondance Cliffs. I looked at my watch and at this point I knew we would not be on time….but it’s Jamaica…time doesn’t matter, right? I was having fun and so was everyone else and that’s all that counts. Then someone mentions something about barrel chicken. And with that, I knew our comedy plans were over LOL….because the whole gang pretty much agreed and chimed in..Yes! Food! Chicken! I could eat! Sounds good! Yes, let’s stop! I laughed and thought it did sound like something we should do. I felt bad though because the comedy show was Sweetness’ original plan for the evening and I knew she had already called ahead and asked to reserve tickets for the event, so I thought, we can’t just not go. Hmmmmm what to do? Well, what if we just get some chicken to go and eat it on the ride up the cliffs, that would work, right? Everyone agreed and I looked at Sweetness with the “Is this ok?” question in my eyes and she smiled. So we stopped….at Eddies, of course! And soon after our hunger pains were killed…..and so was any notion of attending that comedy show, unfortunately. But not one of us complained…not even Sweetness!

I had some of the most fun that night at Eddies. I think it was this night alone that truly solidified the friendship and bond and overall love that began to grow amongst this group of great people. As we sat at those tables waiting for our chicken, we talked and laughed and learned a lot about each other. It was Guirigay and Sweetie Pie, Sweetness, Ninja and me, Booger and Sandie (Pooper), and Jon and Tizzy. I learned that Sandie “Poops good” but her brother is not as blessed in the pooping department LMAO…I also learned that she “Never goes on the internet” but she only mentioned that once or twice LOL. As she and Booger put on our very own comedy show, I laughed til it hurt. And then Sandie (Now forever and always referred to as Pooper…because she poops good, and she is proud of that) bonded on a much deeper level with Ninja. She found out that they both shared a common love of something….PEANUT BUTTER…..for the rest of the evening we heard her ode to her love of the great substance and she and Ninja discussed the heavenly food at great length! LMAO.

Our chicken was finally ready and almost as fast as it was set down in front of us all, it was finished. That was probably the only 2 minutes of silence throughout the whole evening. And it was good….it is always good, Eddie’s chicken rocks! Chicken (our friend) was of course still there hanging with us and laughing at us all laughing, he enjoyed the fish because he is vegetarian. I on the other hand don’t eat fish, but he assured us all that it was good. We laughed and drank some more and just had a really great time. It was probably around 10pm or so and Booger suggested since we clearly have missed the comedy show that we just take our party on the road and make our own pub crawl. He suggests the next stop should be LTU and we can get some pumpkin soup. So we head over there (of course as already mentioned, we stopped briefly at Catcha to drop Sweetness off and Guirigay and Sweetie Pie decided they would be calling it a night at that point as well so they got off to head back to their room at Seastar for the evening)….but much to our surprise, LTU was dead, and pretty much closed. We sat at the cliff side for a moment just looking out at the water and chatting but we decided we were not going to get much here since it was closing so on to the next stop. However, while in the bus we all just sort of decided instead to head back to Catcha and have our own party, maybe hit up the Jacuzzi and just chill, so we did. Chicken dropped us off and we headed to our rooms to freshen up…of course I made the classic mistake of sitting down on the bed for a minute….and that was all she wrote for us, that is where or night ends.

Stay tuned…tomorrow: Brasi’s Bellyflop Challenge!!
