Tizzy, that's such awesome news that you decided to bring your kids with you to Negril!!! I know it will be a much different kind of trip for you with them along, but I think you will still have a lot of fun, especially seeing everything new again thru their eyes! So excited for you and for them! Yay!JohnG, no worries LOL, I think he had a couple rum drinks last night and put on his big brother cape :-) It's looking like I might make it to Negril with Thing 1 and Thing 2 sooner than I had been thinking!! Very exciting! Absolutely they make my world a beautiful place. In the past my trips to Negril were a little break from the grind at home, from being mom (and dad) A week of letting loose and having some grown folk fun to recharge that young at heart spirit hahaBUT I'm really looking forward to the next trip being all about showing my children the island and culture that I have fallen so hard for. It's going to be SO different lol. Anyways, Thanks so much for your nice post and for sharing the photos of your boys, then and now. Really nice looking young men you've raised. And Props 2 you for giving them the opportunity to experience a different world at such a young impressionable age, I'm sure they are so grateful for that and will always cherish those memories
BOOGER!!!!! so stoked
Singing with Steve was a blast , can't wait to do that again.
It was a super day , with super people.
No, I didn't think you were coming on at all lol. I think he's gotten used to it happening on occasion, and was being funny. Sometimes his humor comes across different in textBUt yes I totally got where you were coming from and agree that one just should not be slowed down by all that noise. Life is too short. FULLjoy!!
I don't think I'm alone when I say any and all the pics that you share on this board are appreciated. I especially love seeing the pictures of Negril from times past. I envy all the boardies that share stories and photos of the "old Negril" but am so thankful ya'll are here to give me a glimpse

Tizzy, I can no longer lurk after seeing the posts about bringing your kids to Jamaica. I first brought mine when they were 5 and 8, and they've been back 5 times since then, and are now 14 and 17! The lessons they've learned there and the exposure to a culture different than the "gimme, gimme, gimme" here in the States has been valuable beyond words. Highly recommend it!!
Some pics as they've grown through the years:
Hi Jamerican!! Thnk so much for popping in here, and for sharing about your experience travelling with your boys. I appreciate that so much. You have a beautiful family and its pretty obvious that yall have a great time together. Nothing better than that!! Love the pics
JohnG that is way cool!

Day 6 cont.
The plan for the last night was to set off Chinese lanterns at Ivans. Well several people brought more than enough. Should we do a practice launch? YES of course we should. Made sense especially in hindsight…all the issues with crashing and whatnot.
Somewhere in the mix, a few of us got into a little trouble. I want to say Jon started it by jumping from the railing at Ivans, closest to the cliff edge (Never try this folks). I guess me and Sandie dove in after that. Barbara told us to get our crazy selves out of the water.
No arguments.
Daisy said I tried REAL hard to convince her that now was the perfect time to get over her all her fears...she should leap right off a cliff at night into rough waters that are hiding lionfish and sea urchins. She opted out. I told her I'd protect herlolol
Anyways I'm guessing that's what's going on in this pic...
Although we are all three very strong swimmers, I want to be the first to say that jumping under those conditions was stupid and I don’t recommend it. I’ve really given a lot of second thought to diving/swimming in less than ideal conditions, since the most recent tragedies at Catcha Falling Star. Please always exercise extreme caution when jumping the cliffs on the west end.

And it’s a Success. We are official lantern launchers. They are awesome…
Here it goes...
Aint that something?!
Ivan’s is fun and all, but it does close down at 10 PM so…
