Again, thank you all for the sweet comments. This has been kinda difficult trying to remember what happened. I may pull a GerryG next time and take notes.


Our 2nd day in Jamaica/Our 3rd Vacation Day

Today was Sunday… and our first full day in Jamaica! We had plans to hang around Catcha, walk over to Wise Choice, and in the evening we were meeting RastaDave & his precious wife for dinner and drinks.

We woke up about 8:30 in our cool bedroom…. not cool as in ehhhhh, but cool as in burrrrrr. I rolled out of bed super excited and went straight to our bedroom window. Even though I was looking through some bathroom construction at Banana Shout, the view was beautiful. I could see the spectacular blue Caribbean thru my window. Oh my goodness, are we really here! HELL YEAH WE ARE!!!!

Gary & I decided to go down and have our first Jamaica breakfast and cup of coffee. We walked out of the bedroom and got hit with some major heat! UGGHHH! July in Jamaica!!!

I wanted to go out on the terrace, so I went over to the doors to go out. Geez, are you kidding me …Gary had dead bolted us in, top, bottom, & sideways as if Venom (the evil spiderman) was going to break in…. I was completely irked! Once we got all the locks undone, we walked out to our terrace and the view…. OMG even more beautiful today! I believe I took a picture of this everyday!!!!

After taking in our view, we got dressed and headed down to Ivan’s. Adria, sweet as can be and absolutely beautiful pregnant, was a morning waitress most of the week. I just fell in love with her, as I did most everyone at Catcha…but some were definitely more special than others. Her voice sounded tired, like every pregnant woman is, but her smile was delightful. I introduced us, and then of course had to ask if she knew Marley and Ninja. I kept forgetting that those names aren’t the real ones, but she sure did remember them…. I, like a good little boardie, told her hello for them. She smiled so appreciatively.

So what to get…. My nerve wasn’t up for the ackee & saltfish, so I got the french toast with hot banana syrup. Gary got the BLT with home fries! What a treat! OMG this stuff was so freaking good. That hot syrup on my beautifully cooked french toast… my mouth is watering right now! Holy crap, this isn’t even right! I should still be there….. Anywho.... Gary really enjoyed his BLT because he ordered the same thing every day!

Gary & I sat at the small round high top looking out over the pool and the caribbean, enjoying our coffee, OJ & breakfast astounded at what we were living. Finally alone, no bills to pay, no work to go to, no grass to cut, no toilet to clean, no dishes to do, no kids to worry about (we love them though)… I think you get my point. FINALLY IT WAS JUST ME & GARY!!!!

My 1st Jamaican morning.... Breathtaking!
