What's the first thing you do the first morning you wake up in Negril?

[negrilaholic]

I get up that first morning right when the darkest night is gone and the birds begin to chirp welcoming the dawn. I don't know what makes me wake up so early, but every first morning it happens. So I light one up and sit back and watch the sky lighten and the sun come up. Then I head to the sea to go swimming and snorkeling..and just ..well, for want of a better word, frolicking in the wata. It's not water here..there is something purer about it to me..it's wata, and it heals and soothes my soul, while waking me up completely to the beginning of a new day, and I realize there is nowhere else I would rather be.

First thing, jamaican blue mountain coffee--take it out by the sea, and gaze at the many colors of blue. Then I like to go for a long walk down the beach followed by a swim. If I am feeling the party from the night before, sometimes I switch the order around because a jump in the sea cures all.

Go for a run on the beach, then Blue Mountain Coffee and rum cream with the Caribbean Sea as my landscape...

I make a big cup of coffee, then spend at least a couple of hours gazing out at the sea. Whether on beach or cliffs, the verandah where I'm staying or a restaurant with a wonderful view (Kuyaba's birds-eye table for example), there's something about watching the water that calms me and places me in a great state of mind.

On the last full day, I walk for a couple of hours - again, beach or cliffs depending on where I'm staying - and try to notice the little things along the way. Sometimes even when I've stayed for 3 weeks I get so busy seeing old friends, making new ones, and enjoying travel mates that I forget to take time to enjoy those things about the environment that I truly miss when I'm back home.
