OKay so we all know I won WHAT WHAT.
So we went down to buy the bricks at Travelers Beach Resort. I have to admit to give back to a place that has given me and my wife so much was and incredible experience. In 2010 I brought my dad and mom down to Negril for our wedding. They had never been to Jamaica even though that is where their parents grew up. My father had commented that his experience with the people and the area made him eager to give back and so for me this moment was like giving to a place that is part of my family. Knowing that these bricks would go and be part of a school or a hospital or any building that would be constructed to give back to Negril made me happy. Seeing so many names and so many people donating made this fun event work every stinging flop moment. We rounded our brick painting with a couple group shots and then poof like a magic trick everyone vanished. We swore booger, pooper, jon and tizzy were down by the beach but uhm NO (so we thought).
We headed to the front and took a ride with the fun holiday group. Thanks Kopper for covering our ride to Sea Splash to meet up with Clarity and Markus.
Okay so this time at Sea Splash I got to meet Boombastic (who I didnt realize owned SS at the time of the webcast on Sunday) we had nice talk about some different subjects but this is my favorite boombastic story. SO Boombastic drinks smirnoff vodka martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives and pearl onions but about the time we got there he needed a refill and they were out of smirnoff. So he had his guy bringing some but in the interim what would he drink. His lovely bartender offered up so bottom shelf vodka and Boombastic mad that UHM NO look but it was that classic dilemma to drink second rate booze or to go dry. It can be a hard choice but Boombastic went for the second rate vodka, but wait his bartender comes to the rescue with Apple flavored Smirnoff. So with the choice of boris vodka or apple smirnoff he opted for the apple. Something in the back of my head said uhm maybe he should have gone for the Boris vodka. Boombastic finished his second vodka martini and promptly proclaimed “Dont ever give that to me again!” You see in the back of my head I was thinking Apple Martinis with blue cheese filled olives and pearl onions cant possibly taste good. Boombastic confirmed I was right.
As the day wound down we watched another stunning sunset in Negril and Markus and I tried to capture the moment, I tried to capture Markus capturing the moment.
So back at the bar Musicdoc, drummerboy, Clarity and Markus were chilling when Brasi came along and someone said food. Jerk Chicken it is. Despite Clarity and my lovely wifes need to make fun of Markus and I for trying to take and awesome picture the time we spent eating and chatting was some of the most fun we had this trip. And the moon was killer.
While heading over to roots bamboo I realized 2 things. Carrying my damn computer in this bag all day was getting to me and my shoulders were sun burn. So lesson people of dark pigment dont think the carribean sun wont cook your ass. I knew this but usually doesn't get this bad. Roots Bamboo was dead right at the moment we got there but OMG the music was LOUD (I feel old saying that). We found some seats on the beach and I tried hear anything. Once more people came in their bodies absorbed alot of the sound and talking became a little easier. I had a great chat with drummerboy and brasi about life in general and women. After beachgirl, beccajean and plus1 showed up I was getting a bit tired. Luckily I can always count on my wife to be way tired before me. We had a big day and it was time to listen to my better judgment (I never do that when it comes to hanging out). Brasi walked us out and we headed home for the night.
Little late night incident. More like a short comedy skit. We laid in bed getting ready to turn in and I was setting my alarm on my phone to wake me up. Setting the alarm on the phone take what 30 seconds. 5 minutes later I finally got the phone set. As I laid there I kept nodding off and dropping the phone on my chest. This lasted a while so much so I was actually catching the phone mid nod. I have to admit at the end of every day of this trip I was genuinely beat and ready for bed. YAY tomorrow ROAD TRIP
