" Ones destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things." (Henry Miller)
Trip reports like this are one of the reasons I have not been here for a while. They are so fun and special to hear of others JA. experiance. It makes me so homesick to see all the familiar places and fun times had by all. To much work time and not enough play time. Like most of my trips to JA. and other spots my friends have started to give them a name. Y.A.A.R.E. Yet another.....Alcohol related experience. Thanks for the pictures, its really cool to put a face to all the postings. I will see if I can get over my computer related stupidity and post my picture.
Its fun going single. I never found a special person, but it was just fun not having to keep track of a partner and partying on the fly. And as far as packing, by myself, I got it all into my carry on. Talk about getting through customs fast! Pack a cheap collapsible bag for bringing back suviniers and wrap fragile items in towels and clothing. Keep the posts coming, I am re-addicted.
Ok. I failed. My picture is posted in my profile but How do I get it to get it to pop up when I post something? Thanks.

Jaherring - Thnx so much, as much as I enjoy doing these Trip Reports, it is time consuming, and this one conjurs up a lot of emotions for me. Sometimes hard. It sure does make it worthwhile to know that others are enjoying the read.

Stir IT UP
Day 4 Cont. - Pelican Bar
Back on the bus, which is a party in full swing…..and a sing-a-long. But fair warning: We have a chronic habit of making up our own lyrics to songs. I swear to you I’ve never laughed harder than I did that day with these crazy folks on this crazy bus….I love to sing…even though I’ve completely lost my voice and it’s only the third day of my trip. Nonetheless….
“I wanna thumb ya…..and treat you right”
Y’all feel free to sing along now…bet you can figure out how the rest goes…
“every day and ev-r-y night”
Ahahahahaha , sorry we are SO juvenile but that sh*t was funny.
We continue with ridiculous antics as we ramble on down to the South Coast where we will take a boat out to the Pelican Bar (A first for yours truly!)
Listen, if you’ve never made time to do this, or you’re planning your first trip to Jamaica, please consider this to be a high priority item. It’s maybe the single coolest thing I’ve ever seen with my own eyes. For those who don’t know…..the Pelican Bar is located a good ΒΌ mile out in the water, built on a sandbar, on wood stilts. Out of this world COOL. Great place to soak up some sun, have a cold drink, play some bones, and just vacate from the real world completely. Here is a link if you would like to check out the history of Floyd’s Pelican Bar:

OK. This a real special place. And at the time I was there with a special person….my memories of the pelican bar are no different. I know my friends had a good time, but I promise you ours was betterAnyways, while we were having a “better time” than everyone else in the water under the bar, some were having fun inside the bar hanging flags, tartans, ect and carving their names in the wood. Daisy had a nasty confrontation with a sea urchin…. Sandie whips out a switchblade and proceeds to surgically remove the spines from Daisy’s foot. Shauny provided over proof rum shots to ease her nerves as well as the pain. It was a real team effort and I’m so proud of my girls. Sandie was amazing and Daisy handled it like a champ. (At least that’s what I’ve heard)
Now if you’re paying any attention….the moral of the story is this: Wear water shoes if you’re gonna get in the water around pelican bar. If you don’t…make sure you’ve got your “shuffle” down ….I found a single spine in my toe when I got back home, and I’m assuming it happened at Pelican. Apparently I wasn’t doing the right kind of “shuffle” .
And of course some pix
I miss yall everyday
My girls....my sisters <3
