Loving your report! I haven't been on the board for awhile (in fact had to re-register this year!), and love hearing about new places that we haven't tried.
Pub Crawl sounds like a great idea! We have attended many boardie meetings/webcasts and have met many people ion/off the board that I will always consider friends!
And like you, I have always wanted to spend more time on the cliffs - was thinking about splitting our trip, but might have to agree with you and stick with the beach again!
Those stone decks and the instant snorkeling appeal to me - but we can always spend some days up there!
We visited several times, got engaged at Riu Tropical Bay, then were married at Negril Gardens in 2003 and vowed to go back every year. But life, family and other destinations got in the way.
Think we have made it back maybe 1/2 of the years with and without the kids and have always stayed at some place different! Just started planning a surprise anniversary trip for the spring!
My husband whines almost weekly that we are never going to be able to go back! This year, I just think we might!

Keep your report coming - we did YS Falls and the Pelican Bar on our one of last trips with the kids! Fun!

I also enjoy the tropical showers...gives us another way to sit back and enjoy things that we don't really notice at home....always to busy to sit back and relax, witht he every day hustle...

but will be there is spirit...best wishes to our friends....

The journey continues...

the rain finally lets up enough and we get on the road. After a little while, we pass shrimp country signs, and see the ladys selling the pepper shrimp on the side of the road.
Of course, Janet had read about these on the fabulous trip reports of the boardies that did this excursion and took the time to write about it. I want to thank you guys, because of these reports, janet and i pulled the trigger and joined two4today on this journey. we tell kinsley we want to try some of these so he pulls into a little market on the side of the road. again maybe someone can tell me where we are by the pics, because I have no idea...shrimp country....


across the street


and munchie alert...this case of food was full when we drove up
before we left, all that was left in the case was a couple of fish
we bought out all the festival(my favorite) fritters, yammy and dumpling
and of course several bags of pepper shrimp

Back on the road. We get to black river and get to the boat dock. I guess that is what we will call it. we are in the middle of this likkle neighborhood, with a couple of boats, around this SMALL dock, looking rather shaky.
