hey dj, just to rub it in a bit, got a call last night from some friends who need me to pitch, heading to play in a 5 game guarantee 1 pitch tourney today....

was gonna do bp today, this is better...

alot of times while we chill at legends, Janet will sit at the bar and socialize with the bartenders...I will sit in the upstairs perch, and people watch while I enjoy a smoke...

here are the pics from my last session there....

today is friday, sept 14th 2012, and we have to leave Negril today...what a buzzkill, but have to get back to reality...

I get up at 6am, do my morning stroll, I get Janet some coffee and she gets out at about 730..

Michael already has her chair set up by itself,

while I am enjoying watching the beach get itself ready for another day, I reflect on the trip we had, all the good times and all the friends that we will miss.

the locals are setting up, getting ready for the chance to help a tourist with their vacation needs, lol,

I guess life in negril will go on business as usual without us here, and it will still be here waiting for us when we return....

as I am sitting here, a local which I had not seen before, came strolling down the beach, you could tell he was selling something...remember this is about 7am, so not many people out yet, he stops at tamboo, and yells about his "clearance sale"....2 for 1 buds...he pulled out a handfull of big long buds and right out in the open, announcing his sale....he stopped at legends and showed one guy, heard him clear this time...clearance sell, new crop coming in...everything 2 for 1...the guy said no thanks, and salesman moved on to me...before I could say anything, Michael sent him away...he got to kuyaba, and these 2 guys were setting up their chairs, just got in last night, they told the salesman....he pulled out the clearance items, the guys asked how much, the said 40.00 a bud, but u get 2 for 1, lol....(It was a 5 dollar value at the most) about this time, the security from kuyaba walked over the break up the transaction...the guys paid what was asked and got what was offered...as the salesman walked away smiling, the customer looked to his buddy and said "see, i told you ...I told you we wouldn't have trouble finding it...You better believe me..." so both customer and salesman were happy.....I've seen many higgglers seeling the goods, but not out in the open like that...another only in negril moment....

while sitting on the beach, beachdog comes and joins me...

We like to sit on the upper deck at Boat Bar, have a smoke, and just chill...

Don't forget the Boat Bar has live music every Friday 2-6 p.m. Good time.

[groove16]

I have a few drinks every day, but usually dont get hammered drunk, I enjoy a good fruit smoothie to go along with my sub about as much or more than a beer or drink...but today was not like that...the bar opened at 10, and i dont know how many I had from 10-1230 when kingsley picked us up, but it was many...I was getting them 2 at the time, and they were going down good...my plan was to get a good buzz and sleep on the plane....well I flew right on by the buzz stage and ended up on the drunk stage, lol....more on that in a minute...

as we were changing and packing, Janet made so many trips back to the bar for my drinks, to give Paul our leftover candles, to give michael our likkle radio, more drink, etc..she was asked by some folks about why she was running around so, and after tellling them we were leaving, they give us the AHHH, Im so sorry, you know the routine...

last couple shots before the ride





and my drink of choice from legends



all inclusive at legends had 2 frozen choices, from a pre mixed machine, pina cola and strawberry daquri...like a slushie and then she would add the alcohol...every once in awhile, when no other guests were around, they would make me a dirty banana or whatever I wanted, but this was quick and easy...she would mix them and add a splash of blue caruco(sure i didnt spell correctly) then add as much rum as I wanted...
