Hi Dave, I'm glad me and markus had a chance to meet you in Negril!
Enjoying your trip report so far and looking forward to the next installment!

[Lorax2]

Clarity, it was nice meeting you guys too. I wish we had more time to talk to you both...
Maybe another time :-)
Now you two get working on that family...can't do that sitting in front of the computer :-)
Ok...well, I guess you could, but.... :-)

OK, so Dave has found his wife...she was doing what he should have been doing, Relaxing. "Let's go check out the beach bar and have a drink" he says to her...He gets a smile and a "ya mon, let's go"...Things are good.
They walk down to the bar...Not far Dave thinks...Good :-)





Dave is starting to relax now...Things are slowing down...



Dave calls Seastar for a pick up..."This place should be called Easy Star" he tells his wife. "Free pickup and drop off, dinner and a show...nice"

[Lorax2]

The bus to Seastar is here..."On time and already rocking" Dave thinks...this is a good start.
Everyone is in a good mood when they arrive at the gate...They pay for the show and the buffet and get in line.
The place is starting to get full already...It's Tawnee's birthday :-)
Long wait in line...Dave is looking for Boardies, he gets a hug from Tawnee and wishes her a happy birthday.
Rob and Lisa are there next to where he is standing, they exchange hellos...Dave feels slightly awkward...There is a strange thing that happens on Negril.com...
people read trip reports, look at pictures, read posts about each other, and get to a point where they feel like they know them...even though they really don't.
He wonders if Rob and Lisa feel this false sense of familiarity sometimes...
The line is moving, the food looks good...Their plates get packed
UH OH ! nowhere to sit ! Finally Dave finds a table up by the pool overlooking the bar and the stage...Perfect
These seats would later be described by Rasta Stan as "Box seats", an apt description :-)
The food is great...the show is on and the band is grooving...Dave makes his way down to the bar to get some drinks and runs into Rasta Stan, he remembers him from previous Boardie Bashes...
Dave points to the box seats and tells Stan, "That's my wife Cindy up there"...Stan, being the class act that he is walked all the way up there to greet her...nice guy.
The night rolled on...The drinks flowed...Stan and the band did a few numbers...lack of sleep and many drinks were taking their toll, things started to get a little blurry.
The drummers were drumming everyone into a trance like state...Time to go "Home"

Great report. Who is the fool up front taking photos of Stan??? lol

[Clarity]

"Easy star" haha - so true though! Seastar is great that way
Love the pics of Tawnee's B-day Bash and Rasta Stan's performance.
We arrived late to the party and missed all of that! Looks like a great time!
