[Lido Lover]

I have loved following along with your trip report. You both sound like a blast and I hope one day our paths cross. Thank you for all of the great pics. Hubby and I are heading back in May. Cannot wait

great pictures and writing. got to go to Negril twice last year and this brought back many memories. Now I went and got a job, and am not sure when I can go back, so i will live out my dreams here on th e forum through the eyes of others. I Was at Samsara back in the 80's and got to see Ziggy Marley there. with many other great performers. So much of the beach is gone compared to back then. There was a lot more room and Bloody bay was deserted. Thanks !!

like alll good things, this report is coming to an end....lol....

Kingsley called last night to confirm our departure time and suggested 1230 pickup, which would give us plenty of time...well, he was there waiting on us, and we lost track of time...by the time we were on the road it was 1pm, 30 minutes behind schedule...

Janet said, we are late..kingsley "No problem, mon, I get u there on time"
Janet told him to drive fast, we know you can drive....

As previouslu mentioned, I had several to drink and was....pretty buzzed....and told Janet to handle things before we got started, which was ok by her...

So we settled in the back seats, and off we went...

here are the thoughts that Janet and I put on paper while we waited for our ride at the atl airport....

I had 2 last prepared subs for the ride, one of which I couldnt eat, let me continue...

well, we are passing everyone, beep, beep, effing beep...around every carner another beep, beep.. like in get the eff out of the way, we are coming thru...
everything ok, we are making up time...janet, roll up your window a minute, cant get the lighter to work...holding onto the "oh ****" handle with one hand, my half finished last drink between my legs and my lighter in the other hand, yippee....beep, beeep....lol...
I am thinking all of these thoughts to myself, muttering a few to janet, thinking...oh boy, this is so deja vue, is is all coming back to me...same "oh ****" handle, same feeling, hand going numb I am gripping the handle so tight...I shout out, "Janet, this is the same seat I was in on the trip home from pelican bar...she said, casually, I know, baby...you just sit back and relax...and just laughed at me...buzzing along...beep, beep...

then I get to my sub and finish my last drink...thinking to myself....hhmmmm where are we? we have been going forever...buzz...Oh, I see a sign...Lances Bay...oh I remember that...I think that is near Sandy Bay..cool...we are making up some time...I say to Janet.."we are already in Lances Bay, good"

then we get to lucea...lucea..what, I thought we were already thru lucea..."we r just getting to lucea?"
whats taking so long, kingslea? "I going as fast as I can, Mon" was his reply..and another sit back and enjoy your sub, from my wife and guardian for the day...

oh yeah, my sub...I need to finish these subs...so I get back in the mode and regroup...just past lucea and we are gonna b late...thats ok, if the plane leaves, Im going back to negril....kingsley take your time, mi friend, who cares if we are late...

I drift off into deep thoughts again...beep, beep....barely miss a dog, 2 kids, 3 goats, and 4 locals on bikes...beep, eefffing, beep.....damn, we just misssed that dude on the moped, gonna close my eyes for a minute...i hear kingsley say look at something, so I open my eyes and look, dont know what he said, don't see anything interesteing...I ask kingsley how much further to sandy bay? he jsut laughed...we are in montego bay, mon...what???really???I missed all that....

thats my story...thought it was funny, so I thought it would be a good way to help finish this report...

Ahhhhhhhhhh, Terry!
Was able to read the whole thing today. What an awesome report. It brought back so many great memories. I have yet to finish my report and somehow or another doubt that it is going to happen. I need to take notes ..... without notes I have nothing!
The times that we spent with you guys was absolutely amazing and know that we love you both so much.
I have no pics of the Fire on the Water ...... for whatever reason that day I had decided to join in on the partaking of the subs and was not able to get off the bench to get up and take a picture
I remember everyone yelling it out and wondering what the heck they were talking about, but my body was paralyzed.
The funniest memory of that day is you and Two4 yelling out to Floyd that you guys would look after the place and not to worry as they floated away in their boat ...... that and the worms!

We are so looking forward to catching up with you guys again in April!

[groove16]

rina, you are so right....we were packing our stuff and the next thing I know, I look up to see that us boardies were the only ones left at the pelican bar...floyd and his crew were just floating away....so they were really waiting for us to leave so they could go.....I didnt think they were all in that one boat...lol....SO FREAKIN FUNNY!!!!!

see yall soon....

janet booked the first leg last night and we may have a surprise for the last leg...she needs to confirm something with you before we decide...
