Wow Chet & Coleen, loves those kinda of stories!
The first and only time I extended just happened a few months ago. Never have been able to do it before because of having to go back to work but always had 3 weeks at a time 2-3 times a year so can't complain. This last time though, no job to go back to (starving student now). My best friend called me a few days before I was supposed to leave and decided that she would change my flight; she did it before she called. All arranged and I got 3 and a half more weeks (6.5 in total)! Nice little surprise from one of the best people I know....she knows how much I love Jamaica and how happy I am when I am there! She just wanted me to be happy so made the arrangements!
